ANNAPOLIS, Md.-The Naval Academy reached 20,000 tickets sold last night for Thursday's Poinsettia Bowl match-up against Colorado State in San Diego (10:30, ESPN2, Navy Radio Network) and are now sold out of bowl tickets. Tickets are still available for the game and can be purchased at www.poinsettiabowl.net or on game day at Qualcomm Stadium.

Navy is making a school-record third-consecutive bowl appearance. Last year, the Mids defeated New Mexico, 34-19, to win the Emerald Bowl.
