Army Women’s Basketball WNIT Preview: at Bryant

Despite losing the Patriot League Championship, the Army Black Knights women’s basketball season continues with an appearance in the WNIT. This appearance rewards a season in which the Black Knights went 24-7 and 14-4 in Patriot League play. With the invitation, Army will make its third appearance in the WNIT, having previously appeared in the […]

A Short History of the Army Men’s Basketball in the Postseason

Though they won’t make that coveted first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament, Army Men’s Basketball will play on. The Black Knights received an invitation to the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) at Daytona Beach’s Ocean Center. This tournament bid is a worthy consolation prize following the Black Knights’ resurgent year. Army went 16-15 and 10-8 in […]

Army Women’s Basketball Advances to Patriot League Championship

In case you missed it, Army Women’s Basketball beat Bucknell this past Thursday night, 49-39, to advance to the Patriot League Championship. The Black Knights played a gritty, defensive style that all but dominated the game physically, picking up offensive rebounds and maintaining possession for extended periods even when they weren’t sinking shots. Indeed, Army […]

#AsForLax: at Lehigh

#3/#7 Army Men’s Lacrosse beat the tar out of hapless Holy Cross this past weekend, winning a decidedly lopsided contest, 17-4.  We expected this, but I think we all still enjoyed watching it anyway. We said last week that the Lafayette game would serve as the blueprint for most of Army’s Patriot League contests, and […]

#AsForLax: Patriot League Play

Army Men’s Lacrosse currently stands 5-0, 1-0 in the Patriot League, following their conference-opening win over Lafayette this past Saturday. Over the past few weeks, lacrosse news services have started saying things like, “[This year’s Army Team] might be the team to beat in 2025.” And yeah. That might actually be true. While the team’s […]

Very Quick Thoughts: Army Lax Beat the Living Hell out of Yale Yesterday

#8/#10 Army Men’s Lacrosse beat the absolute tar out of #16/#17 Yale at their place yesterday, winning by a final score of 14-3. Yesterday’s beat-down got so comprehensive that commentary started actively campaigning for Army Defenseman A.J. Pilate to win the Tewaaraton Award around the middle of the third quarter. Pilate utterly erased Yale All-American […]

#AsForLax: BEAT YALE!!!

Army Men’s Lax has a monster game today at Yale with an unusual start-time of 1 pm for a midweek contest. Coming off season opening wins over UMass and Rutgers, the Men (2-0) find themselves ranked 8th nationally by Inside Lacrosse and 10th by USA Lacrosse. Friends, they look really, really good. As we wrote […]

#AsForLax: Big Week Ahead!

Army Lacrosse had a pair of BIG wins this past weekend, with the Men downing UMass in dominant fashion on the road, 16-9, while the Women took down Rutgers at home off a last-second goal, 10-9. I confess that I went skiing at Mount Snow this past weekend, so I personally saw neither game. With […]

#AsForLax: Army Lacrosse 2025 Season Preview

Friends, Army’s 2025 lacrosse season has finally come. Two years ago, Army Men’s Lacrosse entered the season without a lot of fanfare. But they adopted the motto “Keep the Change,” ran through damned-near everyone in America, and finished in the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals within a split-second of advancing further.  The Black Knights then entered 2024 […]

Quick Thoughts: Army Ends Historic Season with a Win at the Independence Bowl

Friends, your Army Black Knights might not have been quite as dominant as they were in the 2018 Armed Forces Bowl, nor was the ending as thrilling as either the 2017 or 2021 editions of that same bowl. Nevertheless, Army left little doubt as to the state of their program following an impressive 27-6 win […]
