Oh how sweet it is!
Navy’s football team tasted victory for the first time in two months and it could not have come at a more opportune moment.
It was Senior Day at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, the perfect occasion for snapping a season-spoiling seven-game losing streak.
Quarterback Zach Abey led the way as Navy sent its 34 seniors out as winner by defeating Tulsa, 37-29, before an announced crowd of 31,517 in Annapolis. Abey brought back memories of early last season by rushing for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries.
Abey did an outstanding job of directing the triple-option as Navy rolled up 389 rushing yards in improving its record to 3-8 overall, 2-5 in the American Athletic Conference.
