WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University women's basketball team defeated the Navy Midshipmen 74-47 on Sunday afternoon in nonconference action at McDonough Arena. With the win, the Blue & Gray improves to 7-3 overall and makes it three in a row, while the Mids drop to 0-11 on the year.

Head Coach James Howard

• "I thought we came out and established ourselves defensively, we took them out of their rhythm to get the lead. I also thought that, for the third straight game, we were able to score the basketball. There are things we need to clean up and improve on, but I saw us getting more consistent today. This was a team win, everyone had an opportunity to play and contribute to the win which is what we will need going forward. We set a goal to go into the DePaul game at 7-3, so I'm proud that's completed and we're working towards out next set of goals. We are looking forward and preparing, but this week we know we need to keep out minds right to focus on academics and finals."
