Navy Postgame Notes
Today's attendance of 17,017 is a new NCAA Quarterfinal record, breaking the previous standard of 12,289 set by Hofstra in 1999 (Duke, Georgetown, Hofstra, Navy).
Today was the first meeting between Navy and Johns Hopkins in the NCAA Tournament.
The Midshipmen are 8-11 in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Tournament and 16-25 in all NCAA Tournament games.
The first quarter goals by Johns Hopkins' Steven Boyle (59 seconds) and Navy's Mikelis Visgauss (54 seconds) is tied for the third-shortest span between goals by opposing teams in NCAA history. The record is three seconds (Nick Silva, Manhattan; Matt Alrich, Delaware; March 9, 2003).
Mikelis Visgauss was 6-of-6 on faceoffs in the first period and won his first seven facesoffs of the game. He improved to 9-of-10 on faceoffs before ending the day 10-of-16. The 10 wins was one shy of tying his career high for wins in a single game.
