Bucknell locks up Patriot title with 77-73 win over Navy

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Chris Hass scored 13 points, Nana Foulland added 12 more and Bucknell captured the Patriot League regular season title Saturday with a 77-73 win over Navy.

Leading by 10 midway through the second half, Bucknell (17-12, 14-4) had to hold off a Navy rally that twice cut the margin to two, with the Midshipmen getting a 3-pointer from Zach Fong to trail 73-71 with 1:22 left and then 75-73 a half minute later on Will Kelly's jumper.

Stephen Brown sank a pair of free throws with five seconds remaining to stretch Bucknell's advantage back to four and Tilman Dunbar missed a 3-pointer at the other end as time expired.
