WASHINGTON -- Shawn Anderson scored 20 points and Navy poured it on in the second half to earn their second straight victory with a 61-44 Patriot League win at American on Wednesday night.

Navy earned a season sweep of the Eagles after taking a 70-64 win at Annapolis January 5.

Coming off a 77-75 win at Lehigh Saturday, the Midshipmen trailed by two, 23-21 at intermission. But George Kiernan scored at the basket, Anderson hit a jumper and Cam Davis knocked down two free throws to give Navy a 31-26 lead with 14:25 left and the Midshipmen pulled way steadily from there.
