Lecker, Torres power Navy past Army in OT

Maryland stumbles against No. 3 Northwestern; UMBC has big surge vs. Binghamton

Attacker-midfielder Ellie Lecker was so physically exhausted late in the second half the Navy coaching staff wondered whether she could make it to the final whistle.

Goalie Jo Torres has barely practiced this season because of a personal health issue and the three-week Navy athletic pause.Those two players — a seasoned senior and inexperienced plebe — were the heroes for Navy women’s lacrosse Saturday at West Point.

Lecker scored four goals to spark an offense that did just enough, while Torres registered 10 saves in 30 minutes of action to anchor a defense that rose to the occasion down the stretch as 16th-ranked Navy rallied to defeat archrival Army, 13-12, in the Star game at Michie Stadium Saturday. Senior attack Nicole Victory had three goals and two assists for Navy (4-0, 1-0 Patriot League), which was playing its first game since Feb. 27. Junior midfield-attack Reagan Roelofs contributed two goals and two assists for the Midshipmen, who had to dig deep to avoid their first loss to the Black Knights (0-3, 0-2).
