Navy lacrosse player Ryan Wade could join NBA stars Stephen Curry and Chris Paul in those State Farm commercials. The sophomore attackman would fit right in with the insurance company's "Exist to Assist" campaign.
Wade spent most of Saturday setting up and assisting his teammates, displaying an unselfishness that was contagious as Navy used outstanding ball movement to pick apart the Bucknell defense.
Wade finished with a career-high five assists as the Midshipmen soundly defeated the Bison, 13-7, before an announced 806 on a brisk March day at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Sophomore midfielder Greyston Torain and junior attackman Chris Hill notched five points apiece for the Midshipmen, who were clicking on all cylinders offensively.
