A fun open-water race winds up becoming a fight for survival. One moment Mary Brigden is navigating heavy weather off Fort Lauderdale. And in the next, she’s underwater in the dark, trapped beneath an overturned yacht with rigging pinning her down. Fortunately, her naval aviation training helps her overcome this catastrophe, and she is rescued with the rest of her crew.  

From there, we pull back to take a look at the larger journey: Mary enters the U.S. Naval Academy during only the second year that women were admitted and becomes Navy’s first women’s All-American in any sport. We talk about the culture of the time, how the sailing team became a place to compete and belong, and the skill set that separates great sailors from good ones. 

After graduation, Mary takes us through her preparation for the 1988 Olympics. She shares the unforgettable experiences that come with sailing all over the world.  

We close on legacy: honoring the women pioneers in Naval Academy athletics and Mary's commitment  to help make the Robert Crown Sailing Center a first class facility for future midshipmen.

In this installment of 50 Years of Excellence in Women's Athletics at the Naval Academy, we bring you Mary Brigden from the Class of 1981. Mary was an accomplished sailor by the time she was in high school, winning several junior national championships while growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 

When she got to Annapolis, where Mary traded in her X-Scow for a 420 and rebuilt her game under coaches who sharpen her skills to get her ready for collegiate racing. She makes strategic choices to collect coed regatta starts, chases All‑American points, and engages is a daily strength training program that sharpens her edge. The result is a skipper ready for a defining test.

The ICSA Championships in Charleston, SC deliver that test. With whitecaps and wind in the high gears, rivals expect Navy to fade. Instead, Mary and crew Karen Mulvaney stack top‑three finishes, conserve energy where it matters, and attack when it counts. The final race is a clinic in control: hiking through gusts, holding shape, and driving clean while the fleet eases to survive. The payoff is a big time trifecta—the Madeleine Cup for winning the Women's A‑division, the Gerald C. Miller trophy, given to the best women's team, and the Leonard M. Fowle Trophy, crowning Navy as the 1981 national champions. Finally, there was Mary's history making achievement of being named the first woman All American in any sport at the Naval Academy, the culmination of a long held dream. 

If you like these kinds of stories, check out the episode. Follow the show, share it with a friend who loves college sailing or Navy sports, and leave a review to tell us your favorite moment from Mary’s rise.

In today's special edition of Navy Sports Central, we kick off a series honoring 50 years of women at the Naval Academy. And we begin with the story of Alexandria Vallancey, a Corvallis High basketball star who arrived at Annapolis intent on Division I hoops and left as a force in Navy Women’s Rowing. What began as a walk-on curiosity at Hubbard Hall became a new identity, built on brutal practices, clean catches, and the unglamorous grind of the erg.

We'll trace Alexandria’s rapid rise from novice to the first varsity eight, the victories in the Cooper Sprints, dual wins over East Coast powers, and a string of Patriot League Championships that stretched Navy’s dominance. Then the stakes climb: an invitation to the Henley Royal Regatta’s historic King’s Cup, a mixed military crew that included two women, and a nation’s colors on the line. 

Feel the rhythm of head-to-head racing as Canada and France fall, and experience the drama in the final as a decisive move lifts the American boat Overlord past Germany while cheers of  “USA” help push the boat down the course. The win marks a powerful return to the international stage for Navy rowing—and it's a milestone in the larger story of women’s athletics at Annapolis.

We also look ahead: the pandemic’s interruption, a return to form with another league title, and the next horizon—qualifying for the U23 U.S. National Team and competing at the World Rowing Championships. If you care about Navy sports, women’s sports history, rowing strategy, or the mindset it takes to reinvent yourself, you don't want to miss this story. Be sure to follow the show, share it with a Navy fan, and leave a review to help more listeners find these stories. Then tell us: what bold pivot are you ready to make?

Welcome to Navy Sports Central, the official podcast of the Navy Sports Nation!

Have you ever thought about what defines a truly unforgettable sports moment? Is it the stakes, the rivalry, the upset, or the individual brilliance that creates memories lasting a lifetime? In this special year-end edition of Navy Sports Central, we tackle this question by counting down the top 10 most memorable moments from the 2024-2025 Navy athletics season.

The countdown features remarkable achievements across multiple sports, from squash and gymnastics to the ones that typically take center stage like football and lacrosse. 

We celebrate the dominance of men's cross country as they secured their fourth straight Patriot League title, while men's track & field picked up their eleventh consecutive championship. Equally impressive was the women's swimming team winning their 13th straight conference title through extraordinary depth, despite not having a single individual swimming champion.

But rising above all these accomplishments is our #1 moment: the Navy women's lacrosse team shocking resident Patriot League bully and top seeded Loyola in overtime to capture their first conference championship since 2018.

To explore this historic victory in depth, we're joined by special guest Cynthia Lisa ('00), who provides expert analysis on how the Mids managed to overcome a five-goal third quarter deficit against a Greyhound program that had never lost a regular season Patriot League game in their history (93-0). We spotlight freshman sensation Alyssa Chung's five-goal performance and Mikayla Williams' championship-winning shot in overtime, while paying tribute to legendary coach Cindy Timchal's sustained excellence over 43 seasons.

Whether you're a die-hard Navy sports fan or simply appreciate stories of athletic achievement against the odds, this episode captures what makes following these remarkable student-athletes so rewarding. Subscribe to Navy Sports Central and join our Facebook community to stay connected as the Mids prepare for another exciting sports season beginning this fall.

Welcome to Navy Sports Central, the official podcast of the Navy Sports Nation!

It is December, and that means Army week is right around the corner. Join me, Karl Darden and Navy Sports superfan Doug Conkey, as we break down the Mids solid win over East Carolina, and discuss the impact of the transfer portal and name, image and licensing  (NIL) deals on college football. 

We'll also get you caught up on the Women's Basketball team. Zanai Barnett-Gay, Kate Samson and Kyah Smith have them playing at a high level, while freshman Mary Gibbons has made an immediate impact with her long range shooting.

Both Navy Swimming & Diving teams head to West Point for an absolutely crucial dual meet. We'll tell you who to look out for as the Mids play catch up in the annual Army - Navy Star series.

We've got all that plus our Question of the Day and Mid Watch segments, so please stay with us for what promises to be a great conversation.

The team bounced back in strong fashion with a commanding 28-7 win over South Florida. Blake Horvath, Eli Heidenreich and Brandon Chatman all showcased their talent with some terrific playmaking.  and the defense delivers a masterclass in pressure and crucial stops. 

The spotlight turns to a pivotal showdown against Tulane, with Navy's eyes set on a championship game berth, something that hasn't happened since 2016.

I'm especially grateful to my classmates who were a part of this episode. So to Scott Gordon, Jon Harber, Steve Young, Dan Doster, Dave Gallaer, Chris Gromek, Charles Fredrick and Bob Clark . . . thank you so much. I couldn't have done it without you.

Welcome to Navy Sports Central, the official podcast of the Navy Sports Nation!

In this episode, we will break down how the Navy Football team dominated Air Force from the opening whistle. The Mids executed their game plan on both sides of the ball and effectively purged their memories of four years worth of nightmarish losses against the Falcons. 

We're going to really get into that in our Deep Dive segment. And we'll also discuss how an Air Force team that has won 29 games over the past three seasons is now struggling to score even 10 points per contest. 

Finally, I will share some of the numbers that point directly to why the Mids are off to such a great start, and why they still haven't reached their ceiling. 

We've got all that plus our Question of the Day and Mid Watch segments, so please stick around!

We’ll start by breaking down the Mids’ opponent, move on and talk about the keys to the game, and analyze the big plays. And finally, we’ll check out some of the stats that helped determine the outcome. 

This is going to be a little bit different from the usual Navy Sports Central podcast episode because the only topic discussed will be Navy Football. 

It will be short and to the point, but by the time it’s over, Navy football fans will be 100% up to speed on how the team performed and how things look moving forward. So please, stick around.

Welcome to Navy Sports Central - The Official Podcast of the Navy Sports Nation!

The conclusion of the 2024 sports season saw the Men's and Women's Outdoor Track & Field teams continue their streak of Patriot League Championships. Meanwhile, the Women's Tennis team came from behind in dramatic fashion to win their first ever title.  We'll do a complete run down in our sports update. 

In our Deep Dive segment, Maura Kent joins us to give her perspective on the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

We've got all of that for you plus our Question of the Day and Mid Watch segment, so don't go anywhere!

Welcome to Navy Sports Central - The Official Podcast of the Navy Sports Nation!

Today, we're charting a course through the world of offshore sailing - a sport where Navy holds an impressive 15 NCAA Championships. Joining me on this maritime adventure is Warren Mazanec, a fellow classmate from '84 and a seasoned veteran of the offshore sailing team. He will provide invaluable insight into the intricacies of the sport. We're unpacking everything from the roles and responsibilities of the crew to vital maneuvers and race tactics, giving you a complete insider's view into the entire program at the Naval Academy.

We'll also navigate through the world of professional sailing and the evolution of the America's Cup, comparing boat designs and discussing the sport's growth. Finally, we'll reflect on Warren's time with the Zeiberger crew and his passion for making sailing a family affair.

Which one of these changes would you like to see implemented in men’s college basketball in the next few years? 

1. Going from 2 halves to 4 quarters to align with the NBA, WNBA, and NCAA Women’s Basketball. 

2. Eliminating the 1 & 1 and going to two free throws on the 6th team foul

3. Widening the key from 12 feet to 16 feet, (matching the NBA) to create more spacing  and allow for more movement. 

4. Advancing the ball to half court in the last two minutes of the game after a timeout. 

This question will be posted on the Navy Sports Nation group Facebook page by the end of day. You can share your answer there. Extra credit for naming the quarterbacks!

In this episode, we'll be talking Navy Men's Soccer as they prepare for their big game against Army this weekend in Philadelphia.  And to help us do that will be a very special guest who played forward and midfielder when he was at the Academy. He's also someone who knows what's like to win that Star game against the Black Knights.

So whether you're a soccer fan or not, come on and join us.  I think you'll walk away from the episode with an even better appreciation of the game.

EDITORS NOTE:

At the 18:45 mark, there is a reference made to Xavier Arline needing to be more patient with his reads.  Though it is implied, I wanted to be clear that I was referencing times the rare occasions when the Mids' throw the ball. Of course when running the ball, making the correct read quickly is critical. And there's still a bit of a learning curve for the Navy QBs in that area.
