Navy's Men's and Women's Lacrosse teams will no longer be able to scrimmage other teams this weekend. The Men were scheduled to play UMBC (who is now playing in the Capital Lacrosse Classic), while the Women were scheduled to play GW and host an alumni game. The Navy-Air Force football game is the only athletic competition that will take place this weekend.
