The MLB season isn't even a quarter over yet, but it's getting to be crunch time in the NCAA. In fact, conference tournaments are already in full swing, which means the intensity level has been turned up to the nth degree.
Don't believe us? Just check out this determined play by Army's Kasey McCravey in Saturday's Patriot League semi-final against Lehigh.*

First of all, that's a pretty cool name.
Second, that has to be the wildest run we've seen so far in 2016.

Granted, we've seen softball players and baseball players leap over catchers before. Every time it happens though it's pretty awesome. And this one was a little extra special because of when it happened, how clean the jump was, and also her awareness to twist in mid-air and come down with her hand on the plate.
That's a special effort that's worthy of another look.

Absolutely brilliant.
McCravey's leap would prove to be a key moment for Army as they went on to defeat and eliminate No. 1 seed Lehigh, 3-1. Army will now advance to the Patriot League championship game on Sunday, where they'll try to jump all over Boston University.*
