Baba Kallie closing out impressive rookie season with return home for Army-Navy Cup

After a season of starts and stops, Navy rookie Baba Kallie and several of his teammates with local ties will get a homecoming in the Army-Navy Cup, after all, at Subaru Park this afternoon.

Kallie, a former FC Delco and Philadelphia Union Academy forward from Coatesville, had a dream start to his college career this spring when he was named the National Player of the Week by United Soccer Coaches after leading the Midshipmen to a 2-1 win over Colgate.

It was Kallie’s first Patriot League match after a shortened non-conference fall season (they beat Virginia and North Carolina State) and because of cancelations ended up being one of only five games for the spring.
