NAVY 26 ARMY 14
Midshipmen make it a clean sweep

PHILADELPHIA ? Navy can hook an anchor to that Commander-in-Chief?s Trophy.
With two rushing touchdowns, and a defense that produced two scores, the Midshipmen sent their seniors out with another win over Army and a career sweep of the service academies.
Jason Tomlinson and Reggie Campbell each ran for scores to lead Navy to a 26-14 win over Army yesterday in the 107 th meeting of the storied rivaly.
Keenan Little returned an interception 40 yards for a TD late in the fourth for bowl-bound Navy (9-3). The Midshipmen equaled their longest winning streak in the series, matching two five-game winning streaks, most recently from 1959 to 1963. Navy has outscored the Black Knights by a 202-68 margin the past five years and boosted its overall series lead to 51-49-7.
"We?re fortunate we don?t have anybody on our team that?s lost to another academy," Navy coach Paul Johnson said. "That?s a real goal to aspire to. It will sink in."
Navy captured the Commander-in-Chief?s Trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the football competition between the three major service academies, for the fourth straight year.
The win also made Navy?s senior class the first in team history to finish 8-0 against Army and Air Force.
"It?s hard to explain unless you?re doing it," Navy senior co-captain Rob Caldwell said. "I?m excited for all the seniors to go out and say we could do this."
Trying to force at least a share of the CIC trophy for the first time since 1996, the Black Knights (3-9) ended the season on a six-game losing streak under coach Bobby Ross. Jeremy Trimble ran for a touchdown and tight end Tim Dunn caught a TD pass with two seconds left.
Navy needed little production from quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada ? he didn?t complete his first pass until 10 seconds were left in the third quarter ? to win its fourth straight game. Next for the Midshipmen is the Meineke Bowl against an opponent from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Navy, though, will play without leading rusher Adam Ballard (792 yards rushing, 3 TDs) after he suffered a broken right leg in the first quarter. The Midshipmen broke the game open in the fourth quarter after Little picked off a Carson Williams pass and scored and linebacker Tyler Tidwell sacked Williams for Navy?s first safety since 1999.
