ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- After comfortably winning the opening two games of the match, the Navy volleyball team rallied from a 10-5 deficit in game five to post a 30-17, 30-24, 25-30, 30-32, 15-13 victory over UMBC Tuesday night in Macdonough Hall. Both teams have now compiled 19-11 records on the season.

"We have talked all year about the imprtance of playing a complete match," said Navy head coach Mike Schwob. "We started off very well tonight, but UMBC really picked up their game as the match went on and we didn't answer as quickly as we needed to. After going into a fifth game and finding ourselves down by five points, however, we showed a lot of heart in coming back to win the match."
