Shawn Anderson was having a miserable outing through 32-plus minutes. Navy’s standout swingman was scoreless on 0-for-9 field goal shooting with 7:51 remaining in the game.
However, Anderson was undeterred by those struggles and did what a senior captain should when the outcome hang in the balance.
Anderson took over and scored seven points on three straight possessions to give Navy the lead for good in a back-and-forth battle with visiting Lehigh.
Anderson scored all 11 of his points down the stretch as Navy broke open a close game and pulled away to a 78-66 win before an announced audience of 632 on Tuesday night at Alumni Hall.
