CHESTER, Pa. -- Army-Navy Cup IV has been postponed. Originally scheduled for Oct. 2, the decision was just officially made to move the match to Nov. 3, at 7 p.m.

The forecast of high winds and heavy rains potentially through Sunday has created a scenario believed to be unsafe for players, coaches and fans of the event. Because of this forecast, the decision has reluctantly been made to move the match to Nov. 3.

"Even though the Army-Navy Cup will be delayed, we continue to look forward to another installment in this great rivalry," said U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Director of Army Athletics Boo Corrigan. "This matchup has become one of the premier events of the college soccer season and we're excited to watch it continue to grow."

"We are sorry for the inconvenience to so many but this is a matchup that is truly worth the wait," said Navy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. "The game may be delayed, but it will only enhance the anticipation for what always proves to be as fine a competitive setting as there is in college soccer."

All tickets, purchased and distributed for Oct. 2, will be accepted on Nov. 3. Please monitor www.philadelphiaunion.com and www.pplpark.com for additional information. Tickets are available at comcasttix.com.

This year's installment of the Army-Navy Cup will be the third consecutive match in the series to be played in November after the previous two games were contested on Nov. 7 in 2014 and Nov. 8 in 2013.

Army (2-4-2, 0-1-0 Patriot League) wraps up its current road trip on Oct. 7, when the Black Knights head to Worcester, Mass., to face Holy Cross at 7:05 p.m.
