Navy's success on the lacrosse field has resulted in a contract extension for head coach Rick Sowell.
Naval Academy athletic director Chet Gladchuk confirmed on Thursday that he has added another four years to Sowell's original contract, which had one year remaining. Gladchuk did not disclose specific terms of the new deal, which keeps Sowell in Annapolis through 2021.
"Rick has done a fine job of adapting to the unique elements of the academy in terms of understanding the dynamics and culture of the institution. I have watched him grow and develop into a tremendous leader here," Gladchuk said.
