Navy women fall to first-place Bucknell

It wouldn't be accurate to call the Navy women's basketball team "streaky" Saturday night, when those streaks can be called just "first half" and "second half."

After opening up a giant first-half lead on the league-leading Bucknell Bison, the Midshipmen's shooting prowess disappeared in the second half and they couldn't prevent a comeback and a Bucknell 63-54 win.

Navy (20-8, 13-4 Patriot) is locked into the second seed in next month's Patriot League Tournament as a result of the loss. Bucknell (23-5, 15-2 Patriot) won the regular season title, which gives them the top seed and home-court advantage in the tournament.
