Navy’s 8-5 opening defeat of Mount St. Mary’s provided some unmistakable echoes to the Midshipmen’s debut under Joe Amplo last season, a 9-4 victory over Manhattan.
The Mids opened big early leads in both games, were probably sloppier than they would have liked and found a way to get a bunch of players into the game.
The most interesting commonality was the emphasis on the ride, which became more effective as last year’s opener unfolded. This time around, Navy forced four consecutive failed clears in the first quarter and held the Mount to 11 of 21 clearing for the game.
