Streeter, Morgan Bears hit all right notes in 75-51 win over Navy


BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Senior guard Tyler Streeter came off the bench to score a career-high 15 points and Morgan State picked up its first win of the season, beating Navy 75-51 on Tuesday night.
Streeter knocked down 6 of 7 from the floor, including all three shots from 3-point range, in 14 minutes of action. Junior forward David Syfax added 14 points for the Bears (1-3), who won despite shooting just 41 percent from the floor. Morgan State buried 10 of its 19 3-pointers (53 percent) but made only 20 of 54 (37 percent) from inside the arc.

 The Bears scored 28 points off of 23 turnovers and outscored Navy's bench by a 37-12 margin.

 Hasan Abdullah had 11 points and six rebounds to lead the Midshipmen (2-3), while Cam Davis scored 10.

 The Bears led 37-25 at halftime and pushed their lead past 20 points on a 3-pointer by senior guard Antonio Gillespie with 6:16 remaining.

 Morgan State won its first game of the season and recorded its most lopsided home victory since defeating Howard 97-6 on Feb. 5.

 It was Morgan State's first win over Navy in four tries.
