Daniel Deaver added 11 points and eight rebounds and John Carter Jr. 10 points for the Midshipmen (10-7, 4-2 Patriot League). Greg Summers also grabbed eight rebounds.
Myles Cherry scored a career-high 22 points on 9-of-10 shooting and had seven rebounds. Leo O’Boyle added 18 points for the Leopards (11-6, 3-3).
Justin Jaworski, who led the Leopards in scoring coming into the matchup with 18 points per game, scored only six (2 of 11).
There were 17 lead changes and eight ties in the game.
