WEST POINT, N.Y. \u2014 Singing the alma mater second never felt quite like this for Army.<\/p>\n

These Black Knights accomplished something never before done in the history of their rivalry with Navy: Beating the Midshipmen at West Point.<\/p>\n

Tyhier Tyler scored on a 4-yard run early in the fourth quarter, the Army defense stoned Navy with a goal-line stand in the third, and the Black Knights beat their archrival 15-0 on Saturday at fog-shrouded Michie Stadium.<\/p>\n

It was the first meeting between the teams at West Point since a 13-0 Navy shutout in 1943. The storied game<\/a> is typically played at a neutral site like Philadelphia or Baltimore but the pandemic changed those plans.<\/p>\n

The game was moved to Michie Stadium from Philadelphia because COVID-19 regulations in Pennsylvania would not have allowed the Corps of Cadets and Brigade of Midshipmen to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty big event to shut somebody out in this game. This has such a great history to it,\u201d Army coach Jeff Monken said. \u201cIt was a slugfest, just back and forth. The fog rolled in. It almost seemed app<\/a>ropriate. for the battle that was taking place out there. It\u2019s a lot of fun to be able to celebrate like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The last two time the game was played at West Point was during World War II and the first was 1890. Army didn\u2019t score a point in any of those games.<\/p>\n

The Black Knights (8-2) posted their first shutout in the series<\/a> since a 27-0 victory in 1969 and have won four of five against Navy (3-7). Navy still leads the series 61-53-7.<\/p>\n

Navy sang second, as is tradition for the winner of the game, last year in Philadelphia after a 31-7 triumph.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were going to defend our house,\u201d Army linebacker Amadeo West said. \u201cVery fortunate. Tonight we\u2019re going to enjoy this win cause it\u2019s a very special win.\u201d<\/p>\n

No fans were allowed, so there wasn\u2019t much of a home field advantage for the Black Knights. When the game began the Mids and Cadets were seated in groups on different sides and behind both goalposts, and the stadium literally shook after President Donald Trump conducted the coin toss and the Mids won.<\/p>\n

Army had three weeks off to prepare after its game Nov. 7 against Air Force was switched to next Saturday because of COVID-19 concerns in and around the Air Force Academy. Navy was coming in off four straight losses.<\/p>\n

Xavier Arline started for Navy, just the fifth freshman to start at quarterback for the Mids against Army. Tyler, who had played in four games prior to Saturday, made his second straight start.<\/p>\n

The game turned in the third quarter with Army clinging to a 3-0 lead and on its heels after Arline ripped off a 52-yard run. He was poised to cross the goalline when Cedric Cunningham ran him down and pushed him out of bounds at the 2.<\/p>\n

When two runs netted nothing, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo called timeout. The Army defense then rose to the occasion again, with senior linebacker Jon Rhattigan stopping Arline inches of the goal and West stopping Nelson Smith on fourth down.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s huge,\u201d Niumatalolo said. \u201cYou don\u2019t get that, it\u2019s a defensive struggle. You\u2019ve got to convert there. You have to convert.\u201d<\/p>\n

Army went up 3-0 on Quinn Maretzki\u2019s 37-yard field goal early in the second quarter, set up by Tyler\u2019s 28-yard completion to Tyrell Robinson, just the second completion of his career.<\/p>\n

Tyler scored after a Navy turnover, the only one of the game, and Daryan McDonald tacked on a safety late in the fourth when he tackled Navy wide receiver Mark Walker in the end zone on a reverse.<\/p>\n

Maretzki added a 40-yard field goal.<\/p>\n

Neither trip<\/a>le option offense got untracked as fog descended low over the field and the defenses played lights-out. The teams combined for 279 yards of offense and Navy had just four first downs, half as many as Army.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
