Navy recovered from a first half riddled with missed shot after missed shot to storm back and defeat Lafayette, 68-60, for its 10th Patriot League win Saturday night.
Navy (15-11, 10-4 Patriot) kept pace with Boston University for second place in the conference with the win, which they pulled off in front of a crowd of 2,422 at Alumni Hall. It's the fifth straight season that the Mids improved on their conference win total and their most wins since they went 11-1 in 2000.
The Mids lived and died by the 3-pointer: Their shaky 2-for-12 mark in the first half helped dig the hole, but their 7-for-11 performance in the second was vital to their resurgence.
