Navy Tops Boston U
Navy withstood a rain delay, and then a late tide from Boston U to pick up a 13-12 victory and help clinch the Patriot League title for Loyola. Christian Daniel led the way with five goals for the Midshipmen.
After one quarter, Navy led 3-2 in what was a back-and-forth affair. The Terriers responded with a three-goal run — part of a 5-3 quarter that helped them take a 7-6 lead into halftime. Brendan Homire had a first-half hat trick for Boston U.
Daniel took over in the third quarter, scoring three of Navy’s five goals to push his team to an 11-8 lead. Greyson Torain and Ryan Wade scored back-to-back fourth quarter goals to put Navy up 13-9 with 6:54 left.
That’s when Boston U mounted a rally, scoring three times in the final three minutes to cut the deficit to one with 32 seconds left. The Terriers won the ensuing faceoff, but a late turnover sealed the Navy win.
Boston U takes the third seed in the Patriot League tournament and will face Bucknell.
