Friday night's dual meet against ninth-ranked Lehigh was a litmus test for the Navy wrestling team. The Midshipmen learned they still have a long way to go in order to compete against one of the top programs in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association.
The Mountain Hawks just had too much depth throughout the lineup, replacing a pair of ranked wrestlers with no noticeable drop off and dropping just two of 10 bouts.
No. 8 Darian Cruz got things going with a technical fall at 125 pounds and Lehigh never looked back in beating Navy, 23-9, at Alumni Hall.
