Navy Sports Central

By: Karl Darden
  • Summary

  • What if I told you about a group of elite college athletes who compete in 36 different sports at one of the toughest institutions in the nation. For them, it’s not about name, image, and likeness or any other kind of major endorsement deal. Because at the end of the day, their ultimate goal is to serve their country. These young men and women represent the best our country has to offer. They compete at a high level on both the national and world stage, and their stories have mostly gone untold. I’m here to change all of that.

    With Navy Sports Central, you'll get the latest news on the athletes, and their teams, gain some unique insights in our Deep Dive segment and hear from some great guests along the way.

    So please join me, Karl Darden, and check out Navy Sports Central wherever you get your podcasts to learn more about these incredible athletes and our nation’s future leaders.

    Welcome to Navy Sports Central - The Official Podcast of the Navy Sports Nation!

    Today, we're going to jump into the Navy Sports Central time machine and revisit the 2004 Navy Men's Lacrosse team's unforgettable season. This year marks the 20th anniversary of their magical run to the Final Four. And in our Deep Dive segment, you will learn how they bounced back from a disappointing year in 2003 to wind up on the brink of a national championship.

    I'll be discussing the key players and highlight three regular season games that shaped this team into one the best that Navy has ever put on the field. Then I'll take you through that heart-stopping win over Princeton in the semifinal, and the classic championship game where the Mids came up agonizingly short against Syracuse.


    This was an inspiring team, whose commitment and dedication captured the hearts of college lacrosse fans across the nation. So come along and enjoy the ride with me!
