Round 1 went to Loyola, which went the Greyhounds, 14-10, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. Loyola raced to an 8-2 halftime lead then held off the Midshipmen.
Round 2 was a complete reversal with Navy traveling to Ridley Athletic Complex in Baltimore and stunning Loyola on its own turf, 14-12. This time the Midshipmen came out breathing fire and built a 6-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
Trailing 11-5 early in the third period, the Greyhounds rallied to tie the score at 12 before giving up two goals in the final five minutes of regulation.
