Related Topics: Layup

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Patrick Benzan drove the lane and threw up an off-balance layup that rolled in at the buzzer as Holy Cross rallied to defeat Navy 51-50 on Monday night.

Benzan scored five of his 12 points off the bench in the last 1:01, hitting a jumper that pulled the Crusaders to 50-48 and adding a free throw with 11 seconds left to get within a point. After he missed the second free throw, Holy Cross fouled to send Navy's Ryan Pearson to the line.

Pearson missed the front end of the one-and-one, Robert Champion grabbed the defensive rebound and Benzan drove for the winner.
