Black Knights Fall to Navy in Annapolis

January 25, 2020 | Women's Basketball

Box Score

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Lindsey Scamman had a career game with 21 points and 22 rebounds, but the Army women's basketball team fell to service academy foe Navy in Alumni Hall on Saturday.

Scamman's 22 rebounds ties a program record, which had been accomplished by a cadet just three times before Saturday's contest. The sophomore from 29 Palms, Calif., shot 8-of-15 from the field including 2-of-3 from beyond-the-arc in her 37 minutes of play. As a group, Army shot 33.3 percent from the floor and at a 35 percent clip from 3-point range.

Mary Kate Ulasewicz led the Midshipmen with a game-high 23 points, which also pairs as a new career high. The senior guard shot 7-of-16 from the field and was 6-of-8 from the charity stripe. The Mids capitalized off of the Black Knights' turnovers, finishing the afternoon with 25 points off Army miscues.

ARMY NOTES AND HIGHLIGHTS

Scamman joins Pam Pearson '86 and Madison Hovren '19 as the only three players in program history to grab 22 rebounds in a contest. Hovren accomplished the feat twice in her career, with the most recent occurring against Fairleigh Dickinson on Dec. 5, 2018.
It is also an Army-Navy series record, surpassing Katie Macfarlane '04, who corralled 19 against the Mids on Feb. 28, 2004.
Scamman is the first Black Knight to record at least 20 points and 20 rebounds in a game since Hovren did so against Lafayette on March 9, 2019.
This was her second 20-point game this season.
Morgann Yancey notched her first start of the season.
The Dallas, Texas, native registered three steals to match her career high.
Navy improved its advantage in the all-time series to 38-36.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Army started off the first quarter shooting 3-of-4 from 3-point range with three different players connecting from deep: Alisa Fallon, Scamman and Hope Brown. Navy, however, held the 14-13 lead at the end of the first quarter after Ulasewicz hit a floater in the waning seconds of the first.
The second quarter was low-scoring with the Mids outscoring the Black Knights 12-7 to take the 26-20 advantage into halftime.
At the break, Scamman had already reached a double-double with 13 rebounds and 11 points.
The Mids opened the second half on a 10-2 run to extend its lead to 36-22 by the midway mark of the third quarter. Army cut Navy's lead to 38-28 by the end of the third quarter thanks to a 3-ball from Sarah Bohn with just under 30 seconds remaining.
The Black Knights had strong start to the final quarter of play with two quick buckets in the first 1:10 of the period to cut Navy's lead to six points. Though on the ensuing possession, Ulasewicz drilled a 3-pointer to put the Mids ahead 41-32.
Navy held a comfortable lead for much of the remainder of the regulation, but the Black Knights kept within striking distance. With 1:13 left Fallon hit a clutch 3-pointer to again shrink Navy's advantage to six points.
After Fallon's trey, Army forced two Navy turnovers thanks to a strong press, but was not able to capitalize of off them.
