Army-Navy went to overtime for the first time in the 123 games the service academies played.
The annual game took place in Philadelphia on Saturday and one overtime wasn’t enough to settle the rivalry.
It took double overtime and Quinn Maretzki, a junior from Honolulu, Hawaii, kicked a 39-yard field goal to give Army a 20-17 victory. Maretzki had tied the game on a field goal with less than two minutes remaining.
THE KICK IS GOOD.

Both teams used big plays in the first extra session.
Markel Johnson scored on a 25-yard run to put Army ahead 17-10.
WHAT A WAY TO START OVERTIME.

However, Navy countered with its first — and only — pass completion of the day.
Xavier Arline connected with a wide-open Maquel Haywood for a 25-yard TD. The PAT sent the academises to the second OT session.
The first completion of the day for Navy is a touchdown in overtime.

Navy had the ball first and Anton Harris Jr., who earlier scored on a 77-yard touchdown run, lost a fumble near the goal line.
That set Army and Maretzki up for his winning kick.
