At the end of a roller-coaster lacrosse game that was pretty much a tale of two halves, it came down to a coaching gamble and a savvy senior making the opponent pay for rolling the dice.
Navy led Loyola Maryland by one with 1:38 remaining in the game when there was a timeout. The Midshipmen had possession with 52 seconds remaining on the shot clock.
Loyola coach Charley Toomey decided to try to get the ball back immediately. It was a curious call because had Navy succeeded in salting away the rest of the shot clock, the hosts still would have 46 seconds to get the tying goal.
