The Mids won 11 of the 21 faceoffs, made 14 saves and had a fifty-percent on-goal shot average.. The Retrievers finished with nine saves, and 20 of their 41 shots were on goal.
Up next, UMBC head to Richmond for a Tuesday afternoon game. Navy will host Maryland on Feb. 23. (A complete Navy schedule can be found here.)
