ANNAPOLIS, MD --- A quartet of goals from junior 2-meter Milos Skaljac and three more from junior driver Alex Donovan propelled unranked Concordia in an 11-4 upset of the nation's No. 12-ranked U.S. Naval Academy in the latter's tournament Sunday.

The win over Navy marks Concordia's highest-ranked victory, and was one of three Eagles victories on the day, as they improve to 5-0 on the season.

Concordia had beaten Fordham (NY) by a score of 18-6 before the victory over Navy, and later downed Penn State Behrend, 18-3, to close out a perfect tournament.

In addition to the combined seven goals from Skaljac and Donovan, Concordia picked up a pair of goals from senior driver Jure Belamaric and a goal each from sophomore driver Duje Grubisic and senior driver Derrek Danna in the win.

Freshman goalie Martin Babovic nabbed four saves and came away with five steals as he and the Concordia defense held Navy to a season-low tying four goals. Sophomore driver Caleb Hamilton made three field blocks as well to help secure the victory.

The Eagles next play in the Inland Empire Classic next Saturday and Sunday (Sept. 12-13) in La Verne.
