After coaching the club team to an 18–5 record in 2007, Navy made the jump to Division I the next year and has won at least 13 games in each of its first ten seasons.

They beat Sacred Heart in the play-in game before falling to North Carolina in the first round to finish the year 17–4 with a #19 national ranking.

Loyola instantly dominated the league, winning three straight conference and tournament titles, preventing the Midshipmen from qualifying again from 2014 to 2016.

Loyola completed its fourth straight unbeaten Patriot League regular season in 2017, and faced Navy in the tournament final.

This win kicked off a Cinderella run for the Midshipmen, who defeated three teams in the NCAA tournament--#7 Penn, Massachusetts, and #2 North Carolina—before falling 16–14 to fellow underdog Boston College in the national semifinals.
