College Sports Television (CSTV) has announced that it will televise the Air Force men's soccer match against Navy on Sunday, Sept. 2, 2007, at 3 p.m. (ET) from the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility in Annapolis, Md. The game will be broadcast on a tape-delayed basis with times to be determined at a later date.

The Falcons and Midshipmen will meet for the first time on the soccer field in almost 15 years, with the last meeting coming on Sept. 4, 1993 in Durham, N.H. Air Force hasn't visited the Naval Academy since Oct. 8, 1983. Air Force leads the all-time series against the Midshipmen, 3-2-2. Air Force will also meet its other service-academy rival, Army on Sept. 16 in West Point, creating a round-robin with the three service academies. It marks the first time since `93 that Air Force will play Army and Navy in the same season.

First-year head coach Doug Hill welcomes back 13 letterwinners and seven starters from last year's team that went 5-12-1. Navy was 5-9-2 last year and placed seventh in the Patriot League. Air Force will open the season on Friday, Aug. 31, against UMBC at 4 p.m. in Annapolis, the first game of a doubleheader. The second game features Navy against Temple.
