Navy hopes to rise and shine against Bucknell

One might think the Navy women's basketball team was rooting for American to upset top-seeded Bucknell in the Patriot League Tournament semifinals on Friday night.

After all, the Bison had swept the Midshipmen on the way to winning the regular season championship.

However, Navy's players were actually happy as they sat in the stands at Sojka Pavilion and saw Bucknell beat American, 69-57. It means the second-seeded Mids (23-8) must meet the Bison (26-5) on their home court in front of a hostile crowd.

"When we saw that Bucknell won, we were really excited," Navy senior Sarita Condie said.
