WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Herbeck scored a career-high 21 points and hit seven of Army’s school-record 15 3-pointers as the Black Knights held off Bryant 69-65 on Turesday night to snap their 11-game losing streak against Division I opponents.
After the Bulldogs overcame a seven-point deficit to tie the game at 65 with 4:27 left, Army (2-4) did not allow Bryant (1-4) another point.
The Black Knights also hit a cold spell, missing their final seven field goals, including six 3-pointers, in the last 7:04. Four free throws by Julian Simmons and Ella Ellis provided the margin of victory.
Army shot 20 of 53 from the field, with all but five shots a 3-point attempt. The Black Knights also set a school record with 36 attempts from long range.
