The Navy Midshipmen and Army Cadets renewed their respectful rivarly on the lacrosse field this spring. The two schools went head-to-head at M&T Bank Stadium as part of the “Day of Rivals” event.
The two schools have become part of what is slowly becoming an annual tradition in Baltimore. The day also features the Maryland Terrapins and Johns Hopkins Blue Jays, which is widely regarded as the oldest rivalry in lacrosse.
Despite the fact that Navy was essentially the home team, Army managed to pull off the one-goal upset.

After going 10-4 in 2009, the Navy Midshipmen look poised to sail to even greater heights in 2010.
Navy returns 37 letterwinners from last season’s team that won the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy for the seventh consecutive season and a victory over Missouri in the Texas Bowl. Sixteen starters are back, looking to push Navy to even more good times this season.
