American jolts Midshipmen

Just when you thought you had the Patriot League men's basketball race figured out a result of like this comes out of nowhere.

American University, which had won just one conference contest, came to Annapolis and upset second place Navy, 63-58, at Alumni Hall on Wednesday night. The Midshipmen, who had suffered just one league loss, were victimized by poor perimeter defense and numerous offensive dry spells.

Freshman guard Delante Jones and junior guard Jalen Rhea combined to score 38 points as American stunned Navy before an announced crowd of 1,642 at Alumni Hall.
