The Midshipmen led by 14 in the first half before senior Jay Vaughan came off the bench to provide a spark that led to a sophomore Eric Sondberg dunk and back-to-back Perry 3-pointers to cut the deficit to eight points with three minutes left in the half.
 
Quinn got going in the second half after Navy took a double-digit lead into the break and converted a lay-up at the 13-minute mark to make it a seven-point game.
 
Navy regained control over the next four minutes and extended its lead up to 15 points with 9:22 remaining. The Leopards got it to single-digits again with a 7-1 run, highlighted by a 3-pointer and a lay-up by Perry and a bucket by Quinn to make it 57-48 with under four minutes left.
