NAVY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: One of the most bitter rivalries in the Patriot League gets renewed on Wednesday night when the Midshipmen host the Bucknell Bison at Alumni Hall. Matched up in the Patriot League postseason tournament in the semifinals in 2018 and the finals in 2017, the Bison (16-4, 7-1 PL) swept the 2017-18 regular season series only to be tripped up by the Mids (8-10, 3-5 PL) in the semifinals in Lewisburg, 68-62. Bucknell was the second seed in the tournament, while Navy was number three.
The first of two 2018-19 matchups on Wednesday night features a Navy team looking to get back to its winning ways after dropping three straight games in league play versus a Bucknell team that is in the midst of a six-game winning streak.
