4 – Wednesday's game against Washington, Md., marked the first time this season members of either the freshman or sophomore classes scored a point for the Mids. The season totals are now 31 points for freshmen and sophomores and 375 points for juniors and seniors.
5 – Navy has posted a 29-17 record against teams that currently comprise the Northeast Conference. This includes an 8-5 record against NEC teams under head coach
