Navy coach Billy Lange said it best: "It was just a rough night for (Navy)."
The Mids, who live and die by the jump shot, were very much alive at the half after shooting 50 percent from the field in the first 20 minutes. Navy actually had the lead with less than three minutes to go in the half and was tied headed into the final minute before Yale hit a pair of quick threes to take a 37-31 halftime lead. Navy never regained the lead.
Down by three midway through the second half, Navy went without scoring for over five minutes. Yale went on a 9-0 spurt in that stretch to build its lead to double digits and the margin thayed there the rest of the way.
Navy shot 37.5 percent (9 of 24) in the second half, finishing the game 21 of 48 (43.8 percent). Yale was 24 of 46 (52.2 percent) from the field, 8 of 17 from the arc. The Bulldogs also went 18 for 26 at the foul line -- 17 of 23 in the second half. Navy shot just 12 free throws (making 9), turned the ball over 21 times and were outrebounded 33-24.
The loss is Navy's third in a row against Divsion I opposition, after starting the season 7-2. Overall the Mids are now 9-5, with a Tuesday visit to NJIT before opening league play at Bucknell Saturday.
Yale's win now gives the Ivy League a 9-8 edge in the season series with the Patriot League. Yale is 2-2 with losses to Bucknell and Holy Cross and wins over American and the Midshipmen. It was the first road win of the season for 3-8 Yale, whose other win came in its season opener against Division 3 Allegheny, a game Allegheny actually counts as an .
