The Series
Navy and Boston had met just once prior to the Terriers joining the Patriot League. That inaugural meeting saw Boston post a 48-46 win over Navy on Dec. 30, 2011, in a game played at Fordham.
Navy has won each of the five league games played thus far between the teams. This includes a 68-57 win at Boston in 2014 and a 61-55 win at Case Gym in 2015.
About Colgate.
Colgate heads into a Wednesday game at Holy Cross with a 2-7 record in league play and a 4-15 record on the season. The Raiders have posted home marks of 0-4 against league foes and 1-8 in all home games played.
The Series
Navy holds a 37-18 lead in the all-time series with Colgate, an overall record that includes a 32-17 advantage in league regular season games. The two teams have split the previous 24 games (all within league play) that have been played in Cotterell Court. The Mids have won on each of their last three trips to Hamilton (winning 65-63 last year on a Hannah Fenske layup at the buzzer) and have won each of the last seven games played in the series.
A Look Back
Navy posted one of its largest halftime rallies (nine points) to win a game in school history to defeat Holy Cross, 50-49, Saturday in Annapolis.
Navy's offense struggled to say the least in the early going of the game as Holy Cross held leads of 7-5 at the end of the first quarter, 23-14 at halftime and 26-14 with six minutes left in the third period. The Mids still trailed 33-26 heading into the final stanza, but had some signs of life as Ashanti Kennedy scored six points in a row late in the third and early in the fourth to pull Navy to within 33-28.
After Navy sliced it down to a three-point margin (41-38), Holy Cross extended it back to seven points at 45-38 with four minutes left. The Mids kept chipping away and soon took a 48-47 lead on a Sarita Condie assist on a Makeba Ndifang layup with 49 seconds left.
Navy would go 1-2 from the foul line following a Holy Cross missed shot and again after a turnover by the Crusaders to take a 50-47 lead with 15.1 seconds left. The Mids played stout defense over the remaining seconds and Holy Cross could only get off a fade away three-point attempt from 22 feet. That effort was short, with the Crusaders sinking a 15-foot jumper as the buzzer sounded.
The Mids scored at least one point on each of their final seven possessions of the game to outscore the Crusaders 12-4 down the stretch. Navy was 9-12 from the floor in the final period after going 12-44 from the floor in the first 30 minutes. Ashanti Kennedy accounted for 15 of her 17 points in the second half as she was 7-9 from the field in that time including 4-4 in the fourth quarter.
The only time Navy rallied from a larger halftime deficit to win a Patriot League game was a 12-point comeback at Lafayette in 2012.
