Navy women's basketball coach Stefanie Pemper shortened her bench in the team's last outing against Kansas.
Pemper only used seven players against the Big 12 Conference school, and that might have proved costly in historic Phog Allen Fieldhouse. The Mids may have worn down a bit in blowing a 16-point second half lead and eventually falling to the Jayhawks in overtime on Dec. 13.
After taking a week off for exams, Navy returned to the court on Monday night against an overmatched Air Force squad and Pemper lengthened her bench considerably. The eighth-year head coach used 12 players in the first half alone as the Midshipmen took a comfortable first quarter lead and never looked back.
