When David Jones made a tremendous move just past midfield to dodge two defenders then raced into the offensive zone and fired a hard shot into the net it was a real momentum builder toward Navy’s eventual 13-12 upset of Syracuse last Saturday.
That clearing play, executed with such confidence and precision, underscored just how far the Severn School product has come as a member of the Navy men’s lacrosse program.
“What David did to score that goal against Syracuse was sweet and really pumped up the whole team,” Navy head coach Rick Sowell said.
Jones has truly blossomed as a senior and is enjoying a superb season as a starting short stick defensive midfielder for the Midshipmen.
