ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) George Kiernan hit a 3-pointer with a half-minute left in the game to give Navy the lead, then padded it with two free throws give the Midshipmen a 49-42 win over Holy Cross in a Patriot League quarterfinal.

The victory earns Navy a rematch with the conference champion Bison at Bucknell Sunday. Bucknell won both meetings with Navy during the regular season.

Navy (16-15) took a 19-12 lead at intermission of the low-scoring game, but the Crusaders battled back. Karl Charles got Holy Cross even with a 3-pointer with 1:35 left, but Holy Cross did not score again.
