Sarita Condie and Justice Swett brought leadership, determination and an irrepressible will to win to the basketball court. Those two seniors were a major reason why the Navy women greatly exceeded expectations last season, finishing as runner-up in the Patriot League for both the regular season and tournament.
Condie and Swett then led the Midshipmen to a landmark victory in the first round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. It was the first win in a national postseason tournament in program history.
So it stood to reason that Navy would need time to find its footing after graduating the two driving forces behind last season’s success.
