Sophomore R.J. Wickham's 19-save performance in No. 11 Navy's 8-7 overtime loss to No. 10 Loyola earned him Patriot League honors as Goalkeeper of the Week, the league announced Tuesday afternoon.
Wickham's effort on Saturday was the best performance by a goalie since Seth DiNola made 21 saves in a 5-4 loss to Penn State on April 12, 2003. Wickham becomes the fourth Midshipmen goalkeeper to be acknowledged by the Patriot League, joining Colin Finnegan, Tommy Phelan and Matt Coughlin.
Wickham, who has turned away 31 shots and surrendered just 13 goals in two contests, has registered a 6.30 goals-against average and a .705 save percentage.
