Navy is proving to be a real nemesis for the Loyola men's basketball team.
The Greyhounds came to Annapolis riding a four-game winning streak that was their longest since joining the Patriot League for the 2013-2014 season. That hot stretch came to a crashing halt against the Midshipmen, who have dominated the series of late.
Senior center Edward Alade scored 12 points and grabbed six rebounds as Navy built a big lead then held off a late rally to beat Loyola, 62-59, before an announced 1,435 at Alumni Hall. Senior wing Tim Abruzzo came off the bench to also score 12 points for the Midshipmen, who swept the home and home series between the schools for the third straight season.
