Army beat Navy 17-11 at Gillette Stadium to claim the 10th Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy in academy history. It’s the first time Army has won the trophy outright since 2020 (it retained the hardware in 2021).
Navy made a late charge in the final seconds of regulation, marching 72 yards down the field in 10 plays while down eight points. Midshipmen quarterback Tai Lavatai was stuffed at the Black Knights’ 1-yard line with 3 seconds on the clock, however, as Army secured the win.
The Black Knights were led by quarterback Bryson Daily, who finished with 54 yards and a touchdown through the air and 84 yards rushing. When it wasn’t Daily toting the rock for Army, running back Kanye Udoh was picking up yardage in chunks, finishing with 88 yards on 13 carries.
For Navy, the offense struggled most of the afternoon. Xavier Arline started at quarterback, but the Midshipmen never got anything going with him at the helm. Lavatai took over for good late in the first half, and while he was able to provide a spark, it just wasn’t enough to overcome the 10-point deficit Navy faced when he entered the game. Lavatai finished with 74 yards rushing and 179 yards through the air with a touchdown as he valiantly tried to will his team to the comeback win.
The win is Army’s second straight over Navy and sixth win in the last eight meetings. Navy still leads the all-time series 62-55-7.
