Preview: Rosemont at Navy
Rosemont Heads to Navy for Crucial Non-Conference Test
The stage is set for a highly anticipated matchup as Rosemont takes on Navy at Alumni Hall in Annapolis, Maryland. The 6-5 Patriots are looking to build on their recent form and make a statement against the Midshipmen, who have been steadily improving throughout the season.
Rosemont's Non-Conference Quest
For Rosemont, this game represents an opportunity to further enhance its non-conference resume. With several high-profile matchups already on the slate, the Eagles will be eager to prove themselves against a quality opponent in Navy. A win would not only boost their confidence but also demonstrate their ability to compete with top-tier programs.
Navy's Recent Surge
The Midshipmen have been on a roll lately, boasting a 3-2 record over their last five games. Their recent victories over Air Force, Delaware State, SE Louisiana, and UNC Wilmington showcase a team that is capable of competing against the best. However, Navy will face its toughest test yet in Rosemont, who has consistently shown a well-rounded game.
Rebounding Battle Looms
The key to this matchup lies in the rebounding battle. Both teams have struggled with defensive rebounding, which could prove crucial in determining the outcome of the game. Navy's 275 defensive rebounds per game rank 191st nationally, while Rosemont has averaged just 23.3 defensive rebounds per contest. A strong performance on both ends of the glass could swing the momentum in favor of one team.
Austin Benigni Leads Navy
For the Midshipmen, Austin Benigni is the dominant force. The senior guard averages 17.8 points and 4.5 assists per game, making him a nightmare to defend. His ability to score and create for teammates will be crucial in helping Navy overcome Rosemont's defensive prowess.
Rising to the Challenge
As both teams prepare to face each other, anticipation builds around this matchup. The stage is set for an exciting contest that could go either way. Will Rosemont's balanced attack prove too much for Navy? Or can the Midshipmen's recent form propel them to a crucial victory? One thing is certain – fans of both programs will be on the edge of their seats as these two teams clash in Annapolis.
The stage is set, and the world is watching. Who will come out on top?
