"Hats off to UMBC, they kept it very close throughout," said Navy women's swimming coach John Morrison. "Our diving really pulled us through today by going 1-2-3 on both boards. I couldn't be more proud of how our team fought right down to the end. We swam very well in the later events to really push us past them." <\/p>\n
Navy now holds a 12-5 advantage in the all-time series against UMBC and has won nine of the 10 meets contested in Annapolis <\/p>\n
