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!
