The Navy men's basketball team finishes the season ranked 21st in the final College Insider Mid-Major Top-25 Poll, marking the first time the program has appeared in the poll's concluding rankings. The Midshipmen concluded the year with a 26-8 record, having secured the Patriot League regular season title with a remarkable 17-1 mark. Their season included a return to postseason play for the first time since 1998, as they received a bid to the National Invitation Tournament, highlighting a significant turnaround for the program.

In men's lacrosse, Mac Haley and Zach Hayashi earned recognition from the Patriot League following a dominant 20-13 victory over Holy Cross. Haley was named the Offensive Player of the Week after scoring a career-high eight points, including three goals and five assists. This performance not only helped the team secure its highest goal tally in a Patriot League game since 2014 but also marked the second consecutive year Haley surpassed the 40-point milestone, joining an elite group of players in Navy history. Hayashi, recognized as the Faceoff Specialist of the Week, contributed significantly to the team's success in the same match.

The Navy women's golf team concluded its regular season at the Terps Invitational, finishing in a tie for 14th place. The Midshipmen posted a 54-hole team total of 61-over par 925 at the University of Maryland Golf Course. Junior Emma Tang led the team with a 13-over par 229, finishing tied for 49th overall. Her performance included a standout second round of 73, helping the team bounce back from an opening round of 318. The team now looks ahead to the Patriot League Championship, where they will aim to build on their progress this season.
