Army Women’s Basketball Beats NJIT in the WNIT’s First Round

Another year, another Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) win for Army women’s basketball. The Black Knights showed grit in a dramatic 59–52 comeback win over NJIT. Army shook off a slow start and early poor shooting to overcome a 15-point deficit.  The game became a near replay of Army’s first-round WNIT win last year against […]

#AsForLax Preview: Army at Boston University

After getting off to a hot 6-0 start, your Army Black Knights (6-1, 1-1) dropped a tough one-point road loss at Lafayette (5-2, 1-0) this past Friday night. Asking for perfection was always going to be tough, but this loss stings because it’s Army’s first ever to the Leopards in program history. Lafayette might have […]

#AsForLax Preview: Army Heads Down to Georgia

Happy Friday, friends.  We’re three weeks into Men’s Lacrosse season, and your Army Black Knights sit 3-0. They beat UMass handily in Week 1, came from two down several times to beat Rutgers on the road, and then rallied from a decidedly underwhelming first half to put Yale firmly in their rearview, 12–6. Those wins […]

Remembering Army’s First Black Quarterback

Army’s 23-3 win over Air Force in 2023 was a momentous occasion in more ways than one. Not only did Army beat its first AP-ranked foe in 51 years, but DB Jabari Moore broke Greg McGlasker’s program record for career games played after appearing in his 55th contest.  The post game notes brought McGlasker back […]

#AsForLax Preview: Army Opens at Home vs. UMass

Happy Friday, friends.  Army Men’s Lacrosse, an ostensibly spring sports team, opens their season late tomorrow morning amidst one of the most frigid cold snaps in Northeastern U.S. history.

#AsForLax: Army 2026 Season Preview

Army Men’s Lacrosse comes into the 2026 season with some unfinished business, a strong preseason ranking, and two players listed in the nation’s Top 50 by Inside Lacrosse magazine. That’s incredible, especially since this team lost *22* graduating seniors at the end of the 2025 season, including *4* 2025 All-Americans and one 2024 All-American.  Can […]

Dream Bowl Proves All-Star Games Still Have Their Place in a Changing Landscape

If bowl games have become endangered, all-star games are even more so. These games were once spectacles that allowed the country’s biggest college football stars to share the field. They could even be many fans’ first chance to see most players play for the first time. TV networks went to great lengths to broadcast them. […]

Kalib Fortner Follows a Cavalcade of Great Army Linebackers into the Hula Bowl

Army’s season may be over, but the Black Knights have multiple players hoping to end their careers on a high note or even earn an opportunity at the next level. Star MLB Kalib Fortner is one of these players. Fortner adds a Hula Bowl appearance to a resume that includes 2023 Army-Navy Game, 2024 Independence […]

Army Women’s Basketball Battles & Beats #14 Howard

After some twenty days off, the #25 Black Knights returned to action with a statement, 64-56, win over the #14 Howard Bison yesterday.  Christl Arena felt more like a battleground than a basketball court throughout most of this one, but Army Women’s Basketball made sure that this battle would be one to remember. The team […]
