ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Freshman Langdon Hatton tied a career-high with 17 points at Navy, but his Williams & Mary Tribe took a 75-56 defeat Wednesday at Alumni Hall in Annapolis.

Hatton, a 6-foot-10 forward from North Harrison, went 7 for 17 from the field, including connecting on one of his two 3-point attempts, and made both of his free throws. Hatton, who is averaging 8.7 points and 4.4 rebounds in his collegiate debut, had three rebounds and a steal for the Tribe, who shot just 36.5 percent from the field (19 of 52) and made just 5 of 18 shots behind the 3-point arc (27.8 percent).

Freshman guard Tyler Rice added 16 points and sophomore forward Ben Wight had 12 points and 13 boards for William & Mary.

“There are a lot of positives we can build off,” William & Mary coach Dane Fischer said. “I thought Ben Wight and Langdon Hatton playing together was a really good look for us and helped establish ourselves down low.”

Navy (6-2), which was led by 16 points from senior John Carter Jr., outscored the Tribe 39-26 in the second half. The Midshipmen bench outscored William & Mary’s 28-1.

William & Mary (1-7) goes to Davidson (5-2) in search of Win No. 2 Saturday. The Wildcats have won four straight, including a 75-68 win at Charlotte on Tuesday. The game is scheduled for 3 p.m. Hatton and the Tribe can be seen on ESPN Plus.
