Loyola University Maryland men’s lacrosse team earned a share of the Patriot League Regular-Season title after defeating Navy 13-12 in Annapolis on April 24. Kenan Everhart scored the go-ahead goal with just over two minutes left, and Max Watkinson made a crucial save in the final seconds to secure the victory.
The win marks Loyola’s first regular-season league title since 2019 and positions them as the No. 2 seed for the upcoming Patriot League Championships. The Greyhounds will play in a semifinal match at Army West Point on Friday, May 1, facing either Boston University or Lehigh.
During the game, Loyola built a four-goal lead before Navy responded with a run that tied the contest at 12-12 midway through the fourth quarter. Everhart’s decisive goal broke more than five minutes of scoreless play between both teams late in regulation.
Connor Wilbur contributed a career-high four assists for Loyola, while Everhart finished with three goals and an assist. Mason Cook led all scorers with four goals, and Brady Quinn matched his career high by scoring three times. Watkinson made a total of sixteen saves, including seven during a tense fourth quarter.
The result ends Loyola’s regular season on a high note as they prepare for postseason competition. The team’s ability to withstand Navy’s late surge and secure victory reflects their resilience heading into championship play.
