Navy Tops East Carolina 34-20 in AAC Clash

The Navy Midshipmen secured a 34-20 victory over East Carolina, led by impressive performances from backup quarterback Braxton Woodson, who accounted for three fourth-quarter touchdowns. Navy's defense was critical, preventing East Carolina from scoring a touchdown until late in the game and holding them to just 4-of-18 on third and fourth down conversions. Although East Carolina initially took a 3-0 lead with a field goal, Navy responded powerfully in the second half, scoring five touchdowns after a scoreless first half. Woodson finished with 165 passing yards and 125 rushing yards, while Eli Heidenreich contributed an additional touchdown. The win allowed Navy to finish third in the American Athletic Conference, and they are set to face Army on December 14. East Carolina's four-game winning streak was snapped with this loss, ending their regular season at 7-5.
