Navy continued one impressive streak, and in the process snapped a rather disappointing one.
Senior swingman Shawn Anderson took the ball strong to the basket throughout in scoring a season-high 28 points as Navy held off Lafayette, 71-69, Wednesday night in a matchup of teams battling for a first-round bye and home-court advantage in the quarterfinals of the Patriot League Tournament.
Senior guard Bryce Dulin was also aggressive going to the basket in adding 14 points for the Midshipmen, who have now won seven straight meetings with the Leopards.
Senior forward Tom Lacey had a solid outing with 11 points and eight rebounds for Navy (18-10, 9-6), which was relieved to put an end to a frustrating four-game losing skid at Alumni Hall.
