Navy takes command of CIC series

It's looking awfully bright in Annapolis for the Navy football team despite Saturday's rainy, dreary weather.

Navy started the season with four straight wins for the first time in 11 years and gained the upper hand in recapturing the coveted Commander-in-Chief's Trophy with a 33-11 victory over service academy rival Air Force on Saturday.

Navy coaches and players will tell you that their motto this year is "1-0," meaning don't look further than the next game.

But they will also tell you that it's always sweet to beat another service academy.

"These games are always so emotional,'' said Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo.
