At points in the second half Navy got too close for missiles. The Virginia Cavaliers had to switch to guns.
The Hoos pulled the sails and started to get out and run.
With 9+ minutes left in the second half the Midshipmen lead 41-40 before UVa got back into the defense, forced turnovers, and went on a 12-0 run to all but put the game out of reach.
Though the first ten minutes of the second half was infuriating for UVa due to turnovers leading to Navy buckets, much of the game was controlled by UVa.
