There was no need for an historic comeback Friday night in Annapolis. This time around, the Midshipmen had it covered from start to finish.
Shawn Anderson had 21 points and five rebounds and three assists, George Kiernan had 11 points and seven rebounds and Bryce Dulin added 13 points and seven rebounds as Navy defeated Columbia, 69-54.
The Midshipmen (5-6) led from the start against the visiting Lions (3-5), jumping out to an 8-2 lead. Tom Lacey, who had 16 points and a career-high 17 rebounds in Navy's 25-point halftime comeback win over Bryant Tuesday, was strong again inside for Navy.
