Navy took a 10-0 lead when Roger Callahan (So./Loogootee, Ind.) scored on a five-yard run. A one-yard plunge by Arnold Selvidge (Sr./Birchwood, Tenn.) in the fourth quarter put the Mids up, 16-0. Murphy kicked her second field goal of the night, this one a 23-yarder, with 8:00 left in the fourth to extend the lead to 19-0.
