It wasn’t any of Morgan State’s numerous 3-pointers that clinched its narrow victory over Navy.
With 2.2 seconds on the clock, the Midshipmen had the chance to at least tie with a basket and chase a potential first win of the season in overtime.
But when Bears sophomore Ja’Niah Henson made two free throws, she stretched Morgan State’s lead to five points — and hopelessly away from the Mids’ grasp.
With its highest point total and closest game yet, the Bears edged a resilient Navy squad, 67-63, heading into their final nonconference game Sunday with confidence.
