NEW YORK (AP) Kelsey Minato scored 22 points, her 98th straight game in double figures, to lead Army to a 75-38 victory over Navy on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
The Black Knights (16-2, 7-1 Patriot) jumped all over Navy, behind Minato. The senior guard had three points and four assists as the Black Knights scored 16 of the first 18 points to take command. Minato, who is part of the first women's class at West Point that can serve in combat, averages 23.3 points a game - seventh best in the country. She reached double figures early in the third quarter as the lead ballooned to over 20.
Army had expected a huge crowd for Saturday's doubleheader, but New York City was blanketed by a winter storm that was expected to dump 15 to 20 inches of snow in the area. Still about 1,000 fans braved the elements to watch the game. The men's game between the schools was postponed shortly before the women's game ended.
Taylor Dunham scored nine points to lead Navy (9-10, 3-5).
