How meaningful was Navy’s thrilling 48-45 win over Air Force?
One need only watch a replay of head coach Ken Niumatalolo’s post-game press conference Saturday to understand.
Niumatalolo broke down and had to fight back tears just moments into his meeting with the media. The 10th-year head coach got choked up several other times while talking about determination his team displayed in pulling out a heart-stopping victory.
“I’m so proud of our players – proud of their resolve, proud of their grit, proud of their perserverance, proud that our guys keep fighting until the end,” Niumatalolo said.
