Already scuffling with a 4-9 record and a three-game losing streak in a season that has included a loss to a D-3 tea, the Mids now must do without their leading scorer and rebounder, 6-8 Laramie Mergerson, who is expected to miss at least three weeks with a broken hand. According to the story in the Annapolis Capital the injury further decimates the Navy frontcourt, which was already missing five players due to injuries or suspension ("Carlton Baldwin, the team's leading scorer and rebounder last season is suspended indefinitely for violating academy policy.")
