Andrew Kostecka made all five of his shots from the field, including four 3-pointers, to score a career-high 20 points Wednesday night, and host Loyola Maryland won, 65-62, over Holy Cross.

The Crusaders (11-11, 5-4 Patriot League) rallied to within two points with nine seconds left in the game, but Jarred Jones (John Carroll) hit one of two from the line with four seconds left for the final score.

Kostecka, the freshman from Clarksburg, assisted on an alley-oop layup by Cam Gregory, then hit a 3 from the left wing with 5:01 left in regulation, staking the Greyhounds (10-10, 4-5) to 56-48 advantage.

Loyola's lead came during a stretch when Holy Cross did not score a field goal for more than five minutes. Malachi Alexander, who matched Kostecka for game-high honors with 20 points, made a 3 for the Crusaders at 6:11, and Holy Cross scored six points off free throws before a 3 by Alexander went down with 67 seconds left.

Navy 71, American 53: Bryce Dulin scored 15 points as the visiting Midshipmen (11-10, 6-3 Patriot League) cruised.

Dulin was 5-for-7 from the field for Navy. Tom Lacey had 14 points and 15 rebounds, Hasan Abdullah had 14 points and five assists, and Shawn Anderson and George Kiernan each added 10 points. The Mids outrebounded the Eagles (5-15, 2-7) by 36-19.

Navy led by 10 at halftime, and a 3 by Kiernan early in the second half extended the lead to 46-32 with 14:30 to play.

American pulled within 55-48 on a pair of free throws by Charlie Jones (Mount Saint Joseph) with 6:46 remaining but could not get closer.

Stony Brook 83, UMBC 73: The visiting Retrievers (13-7, 4-3 America East) cut a 21-point first-half deficit to 46-45 midway through the second half, but could not finish the rally.

The Seawolves improved to 11-9, 6-1.

Senior forward Will Darley (Dulaney) and Jairus Lyles scored 20 points each for UMBC. Rodney Elliott (John Carroll) sparked the second-half comeback by scoring all of his 13 points in the final 20 minutes.

But UMBC could not overcome 34.4 percent shooting against the defending America East champions.
