WEST POINT
THE PREMIER LEADER DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTION IN THE NATION
The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s first engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience. It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy. Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics of 21st century officers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental
and physical stress. Military development begins with the cadet’s first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their first year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the first- and secondyear cadets. The Cadet Leader Development System seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the first day. Integrity is reflected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and territories and from every socioeconomic level. Prospective cadets must receive a nomination by a member of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individuals. Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteeringg to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts vent each spring. a Special Olympics event Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small to being by Congress academy legislated into in 1802. Originally just 1,800 acres, rown to more than the Academy has grown 16,000 acres. The first first graduating class numbered just two men; today’s ore than classes graduate more nnually, 900 new officers annually, n, who both men and women, ership are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. nsion With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and est the nation, life at West Point has changed to ful keep pace. Ever mindful he of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academyy is developing leaderss for tomorrow, and itss focus remains the national needs of the 21st century.

The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor.
After World War I, MacArthur returned to West Point to serve as the Academy’s 31st Superintendent from 1919 to 1922. During that time, he was responsible for the revitalization of the Academy. He was later promoted to General of the Army and served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific Theater during World War II. During that time, he received the Medal of Honor for leading defense preparation and operations on the Philippine Islands. He later served as Supreme Allied Commander, Japan, and as commander, United Nations Command in the Far East. He was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars).
During World War II, Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces Europe from 1943 to 1944, during which he led the D-Day invasion of Europe. During that time, he was promoted to General of the Army (five stars). After the war, he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1945 to 1948 and was named President of Columbia University in 1948. He served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 and was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars).
As Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command from 1988 to 1991, Schwarzkopf’s command ultimately responded to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait with the largest U.S. deployment since the Vietnam War, including portions of the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps as well as units from dozens of nations around the world. After retiring, Schwartzkopf received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
ULYSSES S. GRANT ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill.
GEORGE W. GOETHALS ’80 Goethals became an architect and was builder of the Panama Canal, 1904 TO 1914.
JOHN J. PERSHING ’86 Considered the second most senior officer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. The two-million-plus troops of the AEF made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Imperial Germany. Pershing’s abilities as a leader distinguished him among European commanders, and through repeated successes on the battlefield, promoted American prestige around the world. He served as Army Chief of Staff in 1921, and was named General of the Armies of the United States upon his retirement in 1924.
GEORGE S. PATTON JR. ’09 “Old Blood and Guts,” Patton was one of the most colorful commanders in the Army. During World War II the famed commander of the 2nd Armored Division and later the Third Army displayed courage and daring as prominently as the pair of ivory handled revolvers he wore. Patton accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in military history in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to reinforce the Allied southern flank against the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge. The General’s doctrine of aggressive employment of massive armor forces continue to prove themselves in combat arenas around the world.
OMAR N. BRADLEY ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divisions before going on to command the 1st Army and the 12th Army Group. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1948 to 1949 and served as the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953. He was the last Army officer to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars), and the Bradley fighting vehicle is named in his honor.
ALEXANDER M. HAIG JR. ’47 Haig served as Chief of Staff to President Richard Nixon from 1973 to 1974; Supreme Allied Commander in Europe 1974 to 1979; President of United Technologies Corporation 1980 to 1981 and Secretary of State during the Reagan administration from 1981 to 1982.

EDWARD WHITE ’52 An astronaut from 1962 to 1967, White was the first man to walk in space and was one of the three astronauts killed in the Apollo I disaster in 1967.
PETER M. DAWKINS ’59 Dawkins was Cadet Brigade Commander (First Captain of the U.S. Corps of Cadets) as a senior and became the third Heisman Trophy winner in Army football history. He later served as chairman and CEO of Primerica.
JAMES V. KIMSEY ’62 Kimsey was the founding chairman of America Online, and was named chairman emeritus in 1996. He founded the Kimsey Foundation in 1996.
MICHAEL W. KRZYZEWSKI ’69 Krzyzewski served as head basketball coach at West Point from 1974 to 1979 before assuming similar duties at Duke University. Krzyzewski has led the Blue Devils to three national championships and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in October 2001. He coached the U.S. at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
RAYMOND T. ODIERNO ‘76 Odierno commanded the 4th Infantry Division during the fall of 2003 which, along with Special Forces units, captured Saddam Hussein in December of that year. Odierno helped plan and coordinate the raid that netted Iraq’s fallen dictator.
ROBERT S. KIMBROUGH ’89 Kimbrough was named one of 11 new astronaut candidates by NASA in May 2004. Kimbrough ranks among Army Baseball’s career leaders in saves.

KIMSEY ATHLETIC CENTER
Nestled among several of West Point’s showcase athletic facilities is the 120,000-square-foot, four-story Kimsey Athletic Center. Adjacent to Kimsey Athletic Center is a turf practice field, allowing for more spacious area for Army’s teams to utilize. Kimsey Athletic Center is also the home of the Blaik Gallery and Kenna Hall of Army Sports, a thorough depiction of West Point’s rich athletics heritage.
FOLEY ATHLETIC CENTER
The latest jewel in Army’s treasure trove of athletic facilities, Foley Athletic Center opened its doors three years ago, serving as the “winter home” of the Black Knights. The 77,000-square-foot structure provides Army’s lacrosse team, among others, with a state-of-the-art indoor practice facility, a place where the team can train in a climate-controlled environment during the winter months and inclement weather days throughout the year. The facility contains a full 100yard playing field, along with full 10-yard end zones on both ends. Additionally, a five-yard buffer encircles the field. In all, the FieldTurf playing surface covers 130 yards in length. In addition, a 50-yard-by-10-yard speed and agility room is housed in the sprawling training center. The project was made possible through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. William Foley, who pledged a gift of $15 million towards the continuation of the “Margin of Excellence” facility upgrade project. The largest single donation in service academy history, the gift by the Foley family funded the design and construction of the facility that bears its name. The Foley Athletic Center represents Phase II of the “Margin of Excellence” facility upgrade which began in 2001.
ARMY’S FUTURE HOME
Pictured above are renderings of Army lacrosse’s new facility, currently in the fund raising stages of development.
ATHLETIC TRAINING
Stationed on the first floor of Kimsey Athletic Center, Army’s athletic training department moved into its new and spacious home in the spring of 2003. The athletic training room now covers 9,500 square feet, housing the finest equipment available for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. Highlights of the facility include a 1,202-square-foot cardiovascular room containing more than 25 pieces of equipment; a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy area equipped with a 2,018-square-foot rehabilitation pool, Jacuzzi, two large pools, and four regular pools; 10 treatment tables; five modular taping tables; high-density storage; and a physician’s office with X-ray capability. The training room also features a vast array of the latest treatment and rehabilitation equipment. Thanks to the expansive new treatment area, Army’s athletic training staff can service countless Black Knight athletes simultaneously so they are able to realize their full potential on the “fields of friendly strife.”
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
O’MEARA, MALEK, DAWKINS CLASS OF 1959 STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT CENTER An integral component in Army’s intercollegiate athletic program is the strength and conditioning department. The most visible sign of Army’s commitment in this area is the O’Meara, Malek, Dawkins, Class of 1959 Strength Development Center in Kimsey Athletic Center, one of the finest facilities in the nation. The monstrous 20,000-square-foot center is located on the second floor of Kimsey Athletic Center and features 30 tons of plates and dumbbells; 15 pieces of cardiovascular equipment, including six high-speed treadmills; a state-of-the-art weight training area with 16 rack and platform training stations, as well as a separate dumbbell area; and top-of-the-line Hammer strength equipment. Under the direction of Scott Swanson, the O’Meara, Malek, Dawkins, Class of 1959 Strength Development Center rivals any training facility in the country.
CENTER FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE The Center for Enhanced Performance (CEP) is a state of the art facility committed d to developing the full potential of each cadet through comprehensive mental toughness ess oint and academic skills training. It offers three programs designed to maximize West Point cadet performance, as well as export these critical mental skills to the United States tes Army at large. The Performance Enhancement Program (PEP) is the nation’s most comprehensive ve ls training program for learning, practicing and mastering the intangible mental skills that underlie human performance; confidence despite setbacks, concentration on amidst distractions, and composure under stress. Cadets participate in individual al al training sessions during free periods in their academic schedule, learning, and then n applying the skills of imagery, attention control, energy management, and goal setting. g g. Biofeedback training allows cadets to learn crucial self-regulation techniques, and d sophisticated audio and video simulations of game and practice situations are used d to facilitate mental rehearsal of specific physical, academic, or military skills. These training methods are derived from the field of applied sport psychology, where they are employed in the training of professional and Olympic athletes, but apply to every other area of human performance. The Academic Excellence Program provides instruction in academic support skills designed to help cadets succeed in the classroom. Three classes are offered throughout the academic year: 1) the Student Success Course, a 20 lesson course combining the study skills of textbook marking, note taking, test preparation and time management, with the mental skills such as attention control, confidence building, stress and energy management; 2) Reading Efficiency, a 10 lesson course designed to improve reading speed and comprehension through drill and utilization of modern computer technologies; and 3) Information Literacy and Critical Thinking, a 20-lesson course taught jointly with the USMA Library staff created to enhance problem-solving skills and critically read and evaluate research. The CEP Tutor Program organizes final exam preparation sessions at lab la a le e the end of each semester, and cadet tutors for nearly every academic course are available throughout the year. Most recently the CEP created the Military Enhancement Program (MEP), designed to apply the skills and techniques taught by the Performance Enhancement Program within a military context. MEP Training is now nested throughout the 47 months of the West Point experience. These programs are unique aids to the every member of the Corps of Cadets who seeks to achieve their full potential in academics, athletics and military training. The Center for Enhanced Performance is a powerful demonstration of the Academy’s commitment to provide the finest training available to the future leaders of the nation.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Since its founding two centuries ago, the U.S. Military Academy has accomplished its mission by developing cadets in four critical areas: intellectual, physical, military, and moral-ethical - a four-year process called the “West Point Experience.” It remains committed to the task of producing commissioned leaders of character for America’s Army. Today, the Academy graduates more than 900 new officers annually, which represents approximately 25 percent of the new lieutenants required by the Army each year. Gen. Douglas MacArthur once said, “Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that upon other fields, on other days, will bear the fruits of victory.” That statement is a testament to the high regard in which the Academy holds athletics and the role of a vibrant and competitive intercollegiate program. Great leaders such as Grant and Lee, Pershing and MacArthur, Eisenhower and Patton, Westmoreland and Schwarzkopf are among the more than 50,000 graduates of the U.S. Military Academy. Countless others have served society in the fields of medicine, law, business, politics, and science following their careers in uniform. Army’s great lacrosse tradition has produced its share of leaders both militarily and privately. Today’s Army lacrosse player is well-versed in “Duty, Honor, Country,” and is provided with all the tools to be leaders of character in the Army and in the business world.

WEST POINT ACADEMIC GOALS Graduates anticipate and respond effectively to the uncertainties of a changing technological, social, political and economic world. Upon achieving this overarching goal, graduates will be able to: - think and act creatively - recognize moral issues and apply ethical considerations in decision-making. - listen, read, speak, and write effectively - demonstrate the capability and desire to pursue progressive and continual intellectual development, and demonstrate proficiency in six domains of knowledge: Engineering and Technology Information Technology
Math and Science History
Culture Human Behavior
Long recognized as one of the premier academic institutions in the United States, the U.S. Military Academy provides a challenging curriculum that culminates in a bachelor of science degree upon graduation. More than 25 fields of study and 19 optional academic majors are available to cadets as West Point strives to educate and train the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate shall have the attributes essential to professional growth as an officer in the regular Army. The USMA curriculum is also geared toward providing West Point graduates with an intellectual foundation for increasing responsibility (as they ascend the ranks) through a balanced undergraduate education. The Academy’s highly competitive academic environment, coupled with its broad-based academic curriculum, has helped West Point rank fourth nationally in the number of both Rhodes Scholars and Hertz Scholars that it has produced. The West Point curriculum is divided into three portions - core courses, an engineering sequence and a field of study. Cadets are required to take 26 core courses plus five additional classes in one of seven engineering sequences (mechanical, electrical, civil, nuclear, systems, computer or environmental). Beginning with the first semester of the junior year, cadets begin to take electives for their chosen field of study. Fields of study require completion of nine additional courses, bringing to 40 the number of classes a cadet must pass in order to receive a degree. The selection of an optional major involves anywhere from one to four - usually three - additional courses above and beyond the nine field of study electives. This will allow the Cadet to expand his or her realm of study within a chosen discipline. Physical education and military science courses round out the challenging curriculum. Cadets are required to incorporate classes from both disciplines into each semester’s class schedule, creating a standard six-course load for each academic term.

ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY PREP SCHOOL ABOUT USMAPS
USMAPS is located just outside West Point’s Washington Gate. The brand new compound opened its doors in 2012. The academic program at West Point Prep is a dynamic program, closely coordinated with the West Point curriculum. It is designed to tailor instruction to best meet the needs of the individual cadet candidate. One of the central goals of the academic program is to fully challenge all candidates while recognizing the diversity in their educational backgrounds. The school’s approach is to enhance the skills candidates already possess while providing a solid basis for improvement in needed areas. The academic program focuses on Mathematics and English. These broad areas provide the fundamental basis for academic success at West Point. Cadet candidates also receive instruction in study skills and time management through the Student Success Course. Rigorous concentration on these skills improves a student’s ability to grasp and retain information as well as to think critically and communicate clearly. All candidates are expected to work diligently to surpass course standards in all areas. Those candidates who do not perform to the course standards are counseled, given specific remedial actions to improve performance, and, in most cases, given an opportunity to remedy the material. Students who repeatedly fail to attain course standards may be disenrolled by the Commandant. Academic weeks are organized with “A” days and “B” days running alternately. This allows flexibility in scheduling required courses and for efficiency in the use of instructors and facilities. The academic year consists of four quarters, of 40 classroom days

duration each. Grading is accomplished against standard objectives and criteria. Test results are not curved. All students who attain the same level of performance against the standard receive the same grade. USMAPS employs a system of “tracking” to challenge fully all cadet candidates. Based upon their performance on a series of initial diagnostic tests and, more importantly, on their performance halfway through the first quarter of classroom work, cadet candidates are placed into specialized English and mathematics tracks. This flexible academic approach allows candidates to improve in weak areas while continuing to enhance their strong areas. Tracks range in difficulty from Fundamental to Advanced Placement. During the academic year candidates can move between tracks, and upward movement is encouraged whenever possible. The Student Success Course is designed to give candidates the tools that will help them throughout their academic and military careers. The tools include: effective reading, notebook organization, note-taking (including mapping and clustering), goal-setting, time management, and memory devices. To reduce academic stress, class time is devoted to stress management and overcoming “test phobia.” Students are expected to apply the techniques to their current classes. Successful people exhibit more than just strong aptitude; they also exhibit a positive attitude, take responsibility for their actions, progress steadily towards goals, and continually re-evaluate their methods. Much of the Student Success Course is devoted to the study of successful behavior and students are encouraged to practice these
The purpose of the United States Military Academy Preparatory School is to prepare selected candidates for admission to West Point; providing focused academic, military and physical instruction in a moral-ethical military school environment in order to prepare and motivate candidates for success at the United States Military Academy. The U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School, known as USMAPS, the Prep School, or West Point Prep, was formally established in 1946, but the history of prepping of soldiers for West Point has been done since Congress enacted legislation in 1916 authorizing appointments for soldiers to West Point. The school exists today as an “avenue of opportunity” to a carefully selected group of soldiers and civilians by providing them the academic, leadership and physical skills that will prepare them for success as cadets at the United States Military Academy. Located just a stone’s throw away from one of West Point’s three gates, West Point Prep prepares cadet candidates for West Point with a foundation that will last them beyond admission to the Academy and well into the future as leaders of character for the nation. West Point Prep is primarily an academic institution that accepts students and soldiers from diverse backgrounds and challenges them to meet and exceed West Point’s rigorous admission standards. As a military school with a career focus, West Point Prep also develops the foundation of professional and physical attributes needed for growth as an officer in the U.S. Army. methods as they develop their leadership style. The goal of the class is to offer lifelong benefits to cadet candidates. Cadet candidates are expected to obtain a “C” or better in each academic course for each quarter. To graduate, each candidate must obtain a “C” or better for each course in each quarter. In addition, they are expected to meet the established physical and military standards. USMAPS underwent a drastic change at the start of the 2011-12 academic year, moving its campus from Fort Monmouth, N.J., to West Point’s sprawling terrain. Featuring brand new buildings and stateof-the-art facilities, USMAPS is located just outside West Point’s Washington Gate.

ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS BOO CORRIGAN DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 3rd YEAR NOTRE DAME, 1990 Boo Corrigan was named the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011. “We have an opportunity to work every day with a truly exceptional group of young people,” Corrigan said. “The opportunities they receive through intercollegiate athletics will help shape their own leadership styles as they become officers in the U.S. Army. We have a great team that focuses daily on our cadet-athletes. We strive to enhance their overall experience as they develop into the leaders our nation needs.” In his short time as athletic director, Corrigan has strengthened and expanded Army Athletics’ relationships in several key areas. In his tenure, Army has secured a new apparel agreement with Nike, a new pouring rights contract with Coke and bringing in the Aspire Group to enhance ticket sales and better serve Army season ticket holders. Corrigan also crafted the Team Army concept, a comprehensive plan designed to add significant value to Army’s corporate sponsorships while maintaining the tradition of West Point Athletics. Corrigan, who has a proven record as a fundraiser, spearheaded changes in the Army A Club and ticket operations that have resulted in more than $20 million dollars in major gifts and record-setting annual giving during his tenure. During that time the funding for a new lacrosse facility, that is scheduled to break ground, was secured. In addition to his role in enhancing revenues for Army Athletics, Corrigan led a strategic planning process that developed a new mission statement and goals for the department. In his first full two years at West Point, Corrigan has overseen a program that owns eight Patriot League regular season or tournament championships and sent eight teams to the NCAA postseason (rifle). Thirty-three cadets have earned a major award from their conference,. In 2012-13 alone, Army accounted for more than 100 all-league citations. Hockey’s Cheyne Rocha and lacrosse’s Brendan Buckley each captured the Senior CLASS Award in their respective sports, making Army the only school in the nation to have multiple winners in 2012-13. The 2012-13 season was one of the most successful in recent memory on the fields of friendly strife. Army teams combined to post an overall record of 236-183-8. The program’s .562 winning percentage was the highest in eight years. The winter sports programs had their best season in five years as the women’s basketball team won the Patriot League regular season title, the men’s basketball team posted its first winning season in 28 years and the rifle squad advanced to the NCAA Championships for the 10th consecutive season. It was also a great year in the competition against fellow service academies. Army split the season series versus Navy, 16-16-1, marking the best winning percentage against the Mids (.500) since 2004-05. The Black Knights owned a 4-2-1 record against Air Force, improving the record to 20-18-2 (.525) versus

service academy foes in 2012-13. Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In his two full years, Army has boasted seven Academic AllAmericans, including six first-team selections. Lacrosse’s Brendan Buckely became the first Army athlete to capture Academic All-American of the Year honors in 2012. In 2011, the Black Knights’ football team boasted two first-team CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans, a first for the program since 1957. Since the start of the 2011-12 season, Army boasts six Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including Buckley, a two-time overall men’s winner. Twenty of Army’s 24 NCAA programs scored above the national average in the 2013 NCAA APR report. The men’s cross country and wrestling teams earned public recognition for finishing in the top 10 percent of their respective sport. The cross country squad boasted a perfect score of 1,000. In addition, former football standout Andrew Rodriguez, Class of 2012, became the first Army player to win the National Football Foundation’s Willam V. Campbell Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation’s top football scholar-athlete. Rodriguez later was honored with the Amateur Athletic Union’s James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the country. He was the first Army player to receive the award since 1946 and was just the third player in history (Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow) to win both the Campbell Trophy and Sullivan Award. Army has been the focus of national attention since Corrigan’s arrival. He was instrumental in supporting the CBS documentary, “Game of Honor,” that chronicled the Black Knights’ 2011 football season leading up to its annual showdown with arch-rival Navy. Not only was the two-hour program broadcast to a national audience on Showtime, but also won the Emmy Award for Best Sports Documentary. The Army football team was also the focus of a behindthe-scenes book titled, “Soldiers First,” written by New York Times writer Joe Drape. Corrigan has also made his mark on the aesthetics of historic Michie Stadium. In order to upgrade the appearance and provide a better experience for Army fans, Corrigan implemented a Michie Stadium branding and signage campaign that began in 2011. The first phase of the project was completed prior to the 2012 season.
In addition to his duties at West Point, Corrigan has been an active leader in the Patriot League, serving as chairman of the conference’s Broadband Committee. Corrigan, who was the senior associate athletic director for external affairs at Duke University starting in August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his post. He is a proven administrator with 18 previous years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external affairs, staff management and leadership. Corrigan’s chief responsibilities at Duke included the oversight of the Blue Devil corporate partnerships and the Marketing, Promotions, Ticket, Internet Operations, Sports Information and Video Services departments. In only two years at Duke, Corrigan was responsible for the negotiation of multi-media rights to ISP. A supervisor of the 2009 NCAA Champion women’s tennis and 2010 NCAA Champion men’s lacrosse programs, Corrigan was a part of three NCAA Championships at Duke in just two seasons. He is currently a member of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules committee and the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Committee, while serving on the Executive Budget Committee at Duke. Prior to arriving at Duke in August of 2008, he oversaw Notre Dame’s corporate relations and marketing as an associate athletic director for five years. During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its official athletics website and creation of 15-20 hours of original video content weekly. That resulted in a 35 percent increase in page views and unique users. Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and marketing standpoint. Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the United States Naval Academy. He was responsible for turning the marketing department from a deficit to profit in his first year with full budget responsibility for the department. Corrigan also was intimately involved with the re-branding of the Annual Giving Campaign (The Blue and Gold), which led to an increase of 75 percent year over year donations. His collegiate experience also includes a stint as assistant director of marketing at Florida State from 1992-95. Corrigan is a 1990 University of Notre Dame graduate with a degree in economics. He is married to the former Kristen Aceto, a former field hockey and lacrosse player at the University of Virginia who also earned a master’s degree from the school. The couple has three children, Finley, Tre and Brian. He is the youngest of seven children of Gene and Lena Corrigan.

Joe Alberici enters his ninth season at the helm of the Army lacrosse program. Following in the footsteps of some of the biggest names in the history of the sport, Alberici roams the same sideline where Hall of Fame legends such as Jack Emmer, Ace Adams, Dick Edell and F. Morris Touchstone, once tread. A former assistant to Emmer, Alberici returned to the banks of the Hudson River after a nine-year stint as an assistant coach at Duke where he helped the Blue Devils tighten their grip as one of the nation’s premier lacrosse programs. Alberici became the 10th head coach in Army’s storied 90-year history in 2006, and was tasked to fill the big shoes left by his mentor, Emmer, who retired as college lacrosse’s all-time winningest coach in 2005. Alberici led Army to its first-ever Patriot League tournament title in 2010, defeating Navy, 11-8, in the championship contest. The Black Knights, who compiled a 6-0 conference record during the regular season for the first time that spring, went on to upset No. 2-ranked Syracuse in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Alberici helped mold Garrett Thul ‘13 into the national Rookie of the Year in 2010 as the attackman set plebe records in goals and points. Thul joins Jeremy Boltus ‘11 - Army’s most recent first team All-American - and reigning Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year John Glesener as three of Alberici’s most prized recruits as of late. When it comes to Alberici producing successful cadet-athletes both on the field and in the classroom, the numbers speak for themselves. In just eight short years at the Academy, his players have earned a total of 16 AllAmerican certificates. Alberici has also mentored seven Patriot League major award winners (Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Goalkeeper of the Year, Rookie of the Year), 42 Patriot League Honor Roll recipients, four Academic All-Americans, three Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year and

In addition, nine of his players have been selected in the Major League Lacrosse draft. As he has done every season at West Point, Alberici engineered a Patriot League Tournament berth for his Black Knights, who finished the year with an 8-6 mark. Army faced five nationally ranked teams and defeated Navy for a fifth-straight time in 2013. While Thul shattered Army’s goal-scoring record in his final season, the Flemington, N.J. native also picked up All-America honors for a third time. Glesener and fellow senior Brendan Buckley were also named. With Buckley anchoring, the Black Knights ranked third in the nation in scoring defense, yielding 7.79 goals per game, at year’s end. Alberici’s emphasis on molding the true student-athlete was never more evident than in 2013. Ten players earned Patriot League Academic Honor Roll plaudits, while Buckley produced a laundry list of postseason academic and athletic awards to include Patriot League Defensive Player of Year, USILA Academic All-America, Capital One Overall Academic All-American of the Year, Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year and the 2013 Senior CLASS Award. Thanks to the recent success of Buckley, Alberici has now mentored four of the Patriot League’s last five Scholar-Athlete of the Year winners. In addition to Buckley’s success, Thul became the third lacrosse player to win the prestigious Army Athletic Association Trophy, awarded annually to the top graduating male and female athletes. Drafted by the Hamilton Nationals of the MLL, Thul also embarked on his rookie NLL season with the Philadelphia Wings in 2013-14. Last spring showed improvement from a 7-8 showing during a 2012 campaign that saw the Black Knights face seven nationally ranked opponents and reach No. 20 themselves. Army’s 6-5 overtime win at then-No. 15 Bucknell halted the Bison’s eightgame win streak. While the victory in Lewisburg, Pa., provided plenty of highlights, the apex of Army’s season came courtesy of a 9-6 win over rival Navy on national television to clinch a Patriot League Tournament berth. Tim Henderson `12 garnered Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year honors following his final season. He went on to help the Long Island Lizards make a run in the MLL playoffs and joined Thul in earning All-America honors in 2012. Henderson and Thul headlined a group of five Black Knights to capture 2012 All-Patriot League honors. Following Army’s 2012 Patriot League Tournament appearance, Alberici served as the North Team head coach at the annual USILA/Lax World North-South Senior All-Star game where he mentored Henderson, Devin Lynch `12 and Larry LoRusso `12 one last time. In 2011, Alberici recorded his 50th victory at Army and mentored one of the most prolific feeders in the program’s storied history. Jeremy Boltus ‘11 finished second on Army’s all-time points (214) and assists (124) lists. The team captain became the second player in Army history to be one of five national finalists for the
@ARMY_LACROSSE “There is no better institution in the country to get an education, to learn about leadership, or to learn about yourself than West Point. It is the kind of place that, if you choose to come here, you’ll be different when you leave. Certainly, there will be challenges, but you will have the strength of your teammates, your coaches and all those around you for support. If you are willing to meet those challenges head-on, you’ll be a better person for it. I’m not sure there is a nobler thing than to serve your country. It says a lot about who you are.” - ARMY HEAD COACH JOE ALBERICI Tewaaraton Award, presented annually to the top player in college lacrosse, and the first Black Knight since 2005 to be named first team All-America. Boltus went on win the Army Athletic Association Award as his class’ top male athlete and to enjoy a breakout campaign with the MLL’s Hamilton Nationals. He led all rookies in scoring, nabbed MLL Rookie of the Year accolades and now plays for the Denver Outlaws. With the tandem of Thul and Boltus firing on all cylinders, Alberici’s sixth season at the helm saw the Black Knights defeat rival Navy at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium for the first time since 1997. The 14-9 comeback victory marked a third straight win over the Mids and fourth victory for the Class of 2011. Army, nationally ranked at the time, also clinched a Patriot League Tournament berth that afternoon and effectively eliminated Navy from the four-team playoff for the first time in conference history. Army went on to finish the season with a 9-6 overall mark and ranked as high as No. 7 in the country. The Black Knights totaled five All-America certificates, three MLL draftees and produced a second team Academic All-America honoree. Alberici was named the 2008 Patriot League Coach of the Year after leading Army to a 9-6 record, including a 5-1 conference mark which was good enough to clinch the Patriot League regular season title and top seed for the postseason tournament, hosted at Michie Stadium. Five Black Knights garnered All-Patriot League honors, including senior Adam Fullerton `08, who won his second-straight conference Goalkeeper of the Year award on his way to third-team All-America honors. Ranked as high as No. 8 during the season, Army finished the season No. 19 in the final USILA National Coaches Poll on the heels of a scoring defense that only allowed 7.13 goals per game, to rank sixth nationally. In 2007, Alberici guided the Black Knights through a roller coaster season, highlighted by a 6-1 start and an upset of No. 2 Syracuse in the Carrier Dome that marked the first time the Orange had ever lost at home in February. Ranked as high as No. 8 in the national polls during the campaign, the Black Knights would go on to qualify for their third-straight Patriot League Tournament to finish the season. His stalwart defense allowed just four opponents to score over 10 goals en route to a 7.80 goals against average that ranked 10th in the country. Alberici also watched four of his players garner allconference honors. In his first season as head coach, Alberici led the Black Knights to their second-straight appearance in the Patriot League Tournament Championship game. Two of his players - attackman John Walker `06 and defenseman Matt Luyster `06 - capped their Army careers with Honorable Mention All-America honors while leading the squad to its ninth-straight season with at least eight victories against one of the toughest schedules in the country. Alberici’s tenure at Duke coincided with the Blue Devils’ rise to national prominence, which culminated in their magical run to the Division I title contest in 2005, a game in which they fell 9-8 to top-ranked Johns Hopkins. Ranked second in the nation behind the Blue Jays for much of the spring, Duke forged a remarkable 17-3 ledger and established an NCAA record for victories in a single season. Two of Duke’s losses were one-goal defeats at the hands of Johns Hopkins, including an 11-10 double-overtime loss at JHU’s Homewood Field in early April. Alberici’s duties at Duke included recruiting director, assisting with the daily administration of the program, serving as the Blue Devils’ defensive coordinator and coaching the team’s goalkeepers. After serving as offensive coordinator and working with Duke’s man-up offense during his first eight years, he assumed the roles of defensive coordinator and coach of the mandown defense during his final season. He was promoted to associate head coach in 1999. During Alberici’s nine years on head coach Mike Pressler’s staff, the Blue Devils forged a sparkling 96-47 (.671) record, made seven appearances in the NCAA Tournament - including a run of six-straight postseason trips between 1997 and 2002 - and captured a pair of Atlantic Coast Conference titles (2001 and 2002). The Blue Devils reached the Final Four for the first time in 1997, Alberici’s initial year in Durham, before embarking on their remarkable postseason run in 2005. Under Alberici’s watchful eye, Duke ranked second in the nation in scoring defense, surrendering just 6.91 goals per game. Alberici spent the 1995 and 1996 seasons at West Point as an assistant
coach, and helped the Black Knights to a 10-5 showing and an NCAA appearance in 1996. Army won its final five games that season, including victories over Hofstra, Navy and Rutgers, to earn the Academy’s 12th postseason berth. A 1991 graduate of Alfred University, Alberici was a two-time lacrosse All-American in 1990 and 1991 and also garnered Academic All-America accolades as a senior. A four-year starter at attack, he set six school scoring records and led the Saxons to winning seasons in 1989, 1990 and 1991. A three-time team captain, Alberici led the entire nation, including all three divisions, in assists as a junior, garnering 78 helpers in 17 contests for a 4.6 assist per-game average. In 2001, Alberici was inducted into Alfred’s Hall of Fame. Following graduation, Alberici remained at his alma mater for two years in the role of graduate assistant coach, earning his master’s degree in education in 1993. He accepted his first head coaching assignment soon thereafter when he was named to the top post at SUNY Oneonta. In 1994, the Dragons forged an 8-6 record and established a singleseason school record for victories, earning Alberici Empire Lacrosse League Coach of the Year laurels. It was on the heels of that spectacular season that Alberici made the move to West Point. A native of Auburn, N.Y., Alberici was inducted into the Auburn High School Hall of Fame in 2008, joining his older brother, John and father, Gino, as enshrinees. In his present role as the face of Army’s storied program, Alberici has assumed control of a club that remains intertwined with the rich history of collegiate lacrosse. In 95 seasons, the Black Knights have amassed 732 victories, trailing only Johns Hopkins, Syracuse and Navy in all-time wins at the Division I level. Army has produced eight national champions, while 12 men associated with the program (eight players and four coaches) have been enshrined in the National Lacrosse Foundation Hall of Fame. Alberici berici served a term ass an assistant coach for the U.S. National tional Lacrosse Team at the 2010 World Lacrosse e Championships in Manchester, England,, helping the Americans to the gold medal. edal. In 2007, he was also appointed to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse e Association (USILA) Board of Directors, the sport’s rt’s national governing body.

ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS ASSISTANT COACHING STAFF ANTHONY “MAC” DIANGE 25TH SEASON AT ARMY CORTLAND STATE, 1977
The longest tenured assistant coach at the Academy, Anthony “Mac” Diange enters his silvery anniversary season with the Army lacrosse program and has been an integral part of its success. The veteran assistant, who was named the 2010 Assistant Coach of the Year by the Intercollegiate Men’s Lacrosse Coaches Association in 2012, will continue to manage Army’s offense. Diange is also a top-notch recruiter with deep roots on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley. The Long Island native teamed with legendary coach Jack Emmer to bring stability and continuity to the Black Knights’ sideline when he joined the West Point staff in 1990 and continued his tenure at the Academy with the arrival of Joe Alberici as head coach prior to the start of the 2006 season. During his time at the Academy, Diange has tutored the five of the most prolific scorers in Army lacrosse history, a gruop that includes a pair of Tewaaraton Trophy finalists in John Walker ’06 and Jeremy Boltus ’11. A standout in his own right, Tim Pearson totaled 238 points from 1998-02 to eclipse the previous scoring record by 34. The three-time AllAmerican also sits atop the career assist list with 142. Diange guided Walker during his standout career that culminated with 209 points (125 goals, 84 assists) and his second All-America honor in 2006. One of five finalists for the Tewaaraton Trophy, Walker still ranks third in points and fourth in goals. From 2007-11, Diange helped develop Boltus into one of the greatest feeders in Army history. Boltus graduated from West Point ranked second alltime in points and assists and was also a Tewaaraton Trophy finalist. He went on to enjoy huge success in his first Major League Lacrosse season, having earned Rookie of the Year honors in 2011. One of Boltus’ favorite targets for two seasons, Garrett Thul ’13 earned three All-America certificates and garnered national Rookie of the Year accolades in 2010. As a senior, Thul broke the Black Knights’ all-time goals record and finished with 163. Additionally, “Mac”, as he is widely known in lacrosse circles, has been a part of all 11 Patriot League titles the Academy has either won or shared, and has watched four of his attackmen and two midfielders earn the league’s Offensive Player of the Year award. Five of his other offensive threats started their careers off by earning Patriot League Rookie of the Year accolades. A total of 17 Army players have accorded All-America accolades during Diange’s term at West Point, including at least one in 11 of the last 13 years. Diange arrived at West Point in 1990 following a nine-year stint on the Division III level as head lacrosse coach at SUNY Geneseo. While at the helm of the Blue Knights, Diange was named the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Coach of the Year twice, in 1985 and again in 1989. He played a large role in popularizing the game of lacrosse in Western New York through the success of the program, compiling a 51-49 record during his tenure. In only his second season, he guided the squad to an 8-3 mark and the school’s first SUNYAC Championship. Diange is a 1977 graduate of SUNY Cortland, widely considered the cradle of college lacrosse coaching, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education. A standout midfielder, he was a member of the Red Dragons’ 1975 Division II National Championship squad. He also spent one year as an assistant coach at Albany while earning a master’s degree in education. A native of Massapequa Park, N.Y., Diange starred in football and lacrosse at Farmingdale High School and helped the gridders to the 1971 New York State Championship. Diange and his wife, Janice, reside in Cornwall. They have three children: Kelly-Lynn, Allison and Joe.

KYLE GEORGALAS THIRD SEASON AT ARMY CORNELL, 2005
Kyle Georgalas, a former first team All-Ivy League, honorable mention AllAmerica selection and later five-year assistant coach at Cornell, joined Army’s lacrosse staff as an assistant coach in August 2011. In his two short seasons at the Academy, Georgalas has proved to be a valuable asset to the coaching staff both on the field and the recruiting trail. Primarily responsible for the Black Knights’ face-offs and substitutions, Georgalas watched Derek Sipperly ‘12 garner second team All-Patriot League plaudits and the No. 2 spot on Army’s single-season face-off wins list with 171. Sipperly led the Patriot League and finished the year ranked 15th nationally with a 56.3 win percentage. More recently, Alex Daly enters his sophomore season as one of the league’s breakout stars in the “x” after a stellar rookie campaign. A first team All-Patriot League performer, Daly finished the season ranked 10th in the nation with a 58.6 face-off win percentage. In addition to his specialist duties, Georgalas plays an integral role in helping shape the Black Knights’ offense, which averaged better than 10 goals per game since his arrival at West Point. He is also responsible for overseeing Army’s man-down unit. Georgalas spent five years as an assistant coach at his alma mater Cornell. During his nine years with the Big Red as both a player and assistant coach, Cornell posted a 102-37 record, won outright or shared eight Ivy League titles and made three Final Four appearances. During his five years on the sidelines, he helped Cornell post at least 11 wins each season, including a 15-1 showing in 2007. Georgalas tackled a bevy of responsibilities during his time as an assistant coach, broadening his skills in all areas. On the field, Georgalas was in charge of face-offs and substitutions, while assisting in all facets of the defensive unit. He also served as the staff’s recruiting coordinator. As a player, Georgalas headed up the Big Red defense in 2005 and served as a team captain during his final two seasons During his senior season, Georgalas helped Cornell to an 11-3 overall record, completing its first perfect 6-0 Ivy League season and its first outright Ivy title since 1987. The 2005 squad then advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the second-straight season where they fell to national runner-up Duke. He was selected to compete for the North team in the 64th annual NorthSouth Classic, and was drafted by the New Jersey Pride in the fifth round of the 2005 Major League Lacrosse collegiate draft. Georgalas’ father, Ted, has been a volunteer assistant coach on Army’s sidelines over the last three seasons. He and his wife, Dawn, reside in New Windsor, N.Y.

SUPPORT STAFF 5TH SEASON AT ARMY SPRINGFIELD, 1973
Ted Georgalas embarks upon his fifth season as a volunteer assistant coach with the Army lacrosse program. Georgalas offers a wealth of knowledge and coaching experience in all areas to the program. Georgalas was named one of the original six head coaches at the inception of Major League Lacrosse (MLL) in 2001. Voted the 2003 MLL Coach of the Year, he led the New Jersey Pride for its first four seasons of existence, guiding the squad to a pair of playoff appearances in 2002 and 2003. He was inducted into the Hudson Valley Chapter of the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame’s second class in 1995, 10 years before Army coaching legend Jack Emmer was bestowed the same honor in 2005. Georgalas is credited with founding the Mahopac (N.Y.) high school lacrosse program in 1983, which has since become one of the top programs in the state.

ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS 2014 SEASON OUTLOOK While the rest of the lacrosse world hones on Army’s loss of all-time leading goal-scorer Garrett Thul to graduation, head coach Joe Alberici’s Black Knights hit the field with more depth than ever in the veteran mentor’s previous eight seasons at the Academy. Alberici and his staff have much to be optimistic about with the return of four All-Patriot League players from a year ago, and will look to replace the All-American and Team USA attackman Thul by committee. “Our strength will be in our numbers,” Alberici told Inside Lacrosse. “That’s what it’s coming to now. Our numbers are our one of our greatest assets. What we have now more than at any other time in my tenure is a lot of depth with lots of guys who are similar in ability. We just need them to be able to step up and rise to the occasion. “We can be more of a transition team,” he continued. “Without Thul in the settled game, that’s something we’re exploring more in the early stages, playing at a faster pace, even in six-onsix. That enables you to use your depth, which is something we have an abundance of this season.” Leading the way for Army’s attack will be junior John Glesener. The Camillus, N.Y., native settled into his new role as an attackman last season and it resulted in an impressive 61 points, along with a bevy of accolades to include 2013 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, top 25 Tewaaraton Award finalist and honorable mention All-America honors. It will come as no surprise that Glesener will shoulder much of the attention offensively, which leaves Alberici needing a strong supporting cast willing to step into larger roles. The Black Knights closed out last season ranked third in the NCAA in scoring defense, yielding just 7.79 goals per game. Much of that could be attributed to All-American and 2013 Senior CLASS Award winner Brendan Buckley, the Black Knights’ top lock-down defender over the last two seasons. Along with Thul, Buckley’s graduation leaves a hole on Army’s defense, but the foundation of having similar success in 2014 is there. Junior goaltender Sam Somers will anchor the defense. The second

team all-conference pick finished his first season as a starter with the nation’s best goals-against average (7.18 goals per game). “Last year, we were returning one starter (Buckley),” Alberici said. “Beyond Brendan, guys like Pat Hart, John Burk, Austin Schultz, Jimbo D’Aprile, Sean Jollota hadn’t really played. We were in a situation where all these guys had to step in. Now we bring everyone back except Brendan Buckley.” Last season was proof that the face-off unit can be an “x” factor. Army sophomore Alex Daly is coming off a breakout season in which he was a difference-maker in nearly every game. In addition to tallying five points, Daly finished the year ranked 10th nationally in face-off percentage and earned first team All-Patriot League plaudits. With all of this in mind, Army landed fourth in the Patriot League Preseason Poll, as voted on by the league’s head coaches and sports information directors. This spring marks the highly anticipated first season of the expanded Patriot League, which grew by two members – Loyola and Boston University – beginning in 2013-14. The Greyhounds earned the top spot in the preseason poll, along with being ranked in both national preseason polls. On the flip side, the Terriers embark on their first season of Division I men’s lacrosse this spring. With an additional two members, the 2014 Patriot League Tournament expanded to include six teams and begins with first-round games on April 22. In addition to Loyola, the Black Knights will go up against three more teams ranked in the national preseason polls. Army itself received votes in the USILA Preseason Coaches’ Poll. “We don’t put a lot of stock in preseason rankings or polls,” Alberici said. “It’s a mechanism for gauging early leaders, but success will be measured once the season gets underway. “Once again this year, we have a very ambitious schedule but much of that can be attributed to the ever-growing competitiveness and respect for the Patriot League,” he added. “This is one of the top conferences in the country, and we’ll
Jimbo D’Aprile 2013 All-Patriot League Second Team
have to be at our best every single game in order to reach our goals.” Alberici has never been shy in sharing the team’s goals. Things this season are no different as marks on the wall include the Patriot League Championship and a chance to play for the national title Memorial Day weekend. ATTACK While Glesener will undoubtedly draw much of the opponents’ attention, the Black Knights return sophomores Will Mazzone (11G, 8A) and Connor Cook (4G, 6A) on attack. The duo proved to be formidable contributors during rookie campaigns in which they totaled 19 and 10 points, respectively. What the pair may lack in size, it makes up for with quickness and vision. Glesener’s 31 goals and 30 assists ranked him sixth nationally with a 4.36 points-per-game average. Working his way back from ACL surgery, Glesener missed fall ball and returned to the team in January. “John has extremely lofty goals for himself,” Alberici said. “I think at the top of the list right now will be returning to the level he was before the injury. That’s the most important goal right now.” Tim Coll is coming off an eight-point freshman season and will be joined by a host of others to round out the Black Knights’ attacking corps. That group includes returners Ehret Faircloth and Andrew Michalowski, along with newcomers Cole Johnson, C.J. LoConte and Henry White. MIDFIELD Army is expected to continue to run three midfield lines once again this season. Leading that pack will be junior Alex Newsome. The Black Knights’ thirdleading scorer a year ago, Newsome started all 14 games and registered 18 goals and six assists. His eight man-up goals led the team and ranked second in the Patriot League.

PRESEASON ALL-LEAGUE TEAM John Glesener returns as the reigning Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year.
provide leadership for a youthful midfield corps. With a year of experience under their belts, sophomores A.J. Canara, Jimbo Moore, Shea Mullins and Luke Poulos will be counted for increased production in 2014. Junior Will O’Donnell and newcomers Matt Bowman and Gunnar Miller are expected to make immediate impacts as well. “We need a 19- or 20-point guy to become a 30-point guy,” Alberici said, pointing to a number of players who come back after decent campaigns last year. “We’re going to rely on our passing game more than ever before. We have to find the right combination of guys who can move the ball and finish and get us into double digits in as many games as possible.” DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD Army’s defensive midfield boasts a ton of experience and talent. Returners Al DeStefano and Mike Larrabee were both staples in the short stick defensive midfield last spring, which is not expected to change. Both played in all 14 games a year ago and collected 21 and 11 ground balls, respectively. Junior Billy Baird returns after enduring an injury-riddled sophomore season. Baird played an integral role in 15 games as a rookie in 2012. LONG STICK MIDFIELD One of the brightest spots of last spring was the emergence of Jimbo D’Aprile with the long pole. The Smithtown, N.Y., native authored a second team All-Patriot League-worthy season and returns as one of the league’s top LSMs. D’Aprile played in all 14 games last spring, totaling 21 ground balls and 12 caused turnovers. Joining D’Aprile primarily will be senior Kevin Epp and rookie Tim Stackpole. Epp has been a role player for three seasons and is poised to close out his career on a high note, while Stackpole was named Inside Lacrosse’s top post-graduate freshman after enjoying standout high school and USMA Prep School campaigns. FACE-OFF UNIT Daly will be the Black Knights’ go-to in his second season along the banks of the Hudson. The New Market, Md., native won 140-of-239 face-offs and played in all but one game in 2013. “Facing off was a bright spot for us (in 2013) with Alex being in the top ten in the nation,” Alberici said. A capable Nick Isnardi will back-up Daly in the “x.” The senior tri-captain has drawn action in 15 career games. CLOSE DEFENSE The majority of Army’s close defense returns, all of whom helped Army’s staunch defense earn national recognition last season. Senior tri-captain John Burk, along with classmate Pat Hart, junior Sean Jollota and sophomore Austin Schultz are back. Along with the short-stick defensive midfield, the Black Knights’ close D might be the most experience group on the field this spring. GOALTENDING Somers won the starting role early last season and proved to be one of the league’s top stoppers. The Wilton, Conn., native owned a .587 save percentage to go with a 7.18 goalsagainst average. Those numbers both ranked in the NCAA’s top 10 with the latter topping the nation. Somers earned second team All-Patriot League laurels following the standout campaign.

Senior Bobby Sincero will back-up Somers in goal. Next to Somers, Sincero is the only other Army goaltender with game experience, playing 154 minutes in eight career games. Senior Zeric Butters and freshmen John Quinn and Jackson Tamasitis offer added depth to the goalie position. SCHEDULE Army opens the season on Feb. 8 against UMass. The Black Knights will play just three non-conference games before the start of Patriot League action on March 1 at Lafayette. Army is slated for six home games this season – UMass, Rutgers (March 4), Holy Cross (March 8), Lehigh (March 22), Bucknell (March 29) and rival Navy (April 12). Along with league trips to Lafayette, Boston University (April 5) and Colgate (April 18), the Black Knights cap the regular season with a trip to South Bend, Ind., to face Notre Dame on May 3. The 2014 Patriot League Tournament will begin on April 22 with first-round games at campus sites. The semifinals and championship are slated for April 25 and 27 at the site of the highest seed.

For the second year in a row, Army and UMass clashed in the season opener on Feb. 10.
GAME 1 FEBRUARY 10 #12/13 UMASS 16, ARMY 9 AMHERST, Mass. - Six different players scored goals, including sophomore attackman John Glesener’s second career hat trick, but turnovers and clearing struggles plagued the Army lacrosse team in a 16-9 loss at No. 12/13 Massachusetts. In a game delayed one day due to severe winter storm implications, neither team led by more than one goal over the first quarter of the game. The Minutemen used a 12-5 run over the final three quarters to put the game away. Glesener’s hat trick highlighted a five-point day for the Central New York native, as he added a teamhigh two assists in a standout effort. Covered tightly all afternoon by UMass’ Jake Smith, senior attackman Garrett Thul managed two points (1G, 1A), while senior midfielder Alex Van Krevel added a pair of second-half goals. Senior Pat Brennan added a single goal as well. Making their first career starts, sophomore middie Alex Newsome and freshman attackman Connor Cook scored single goals in the setback. UMass’ Matt Whippen paced the Minutemen with six points (5G, 1A). The Black Knights held senior AllAmerican attackman Will Manny to just one goal on the afternoon. Fourteen of the Minutemen’s 16 goals were scored out of the midfield. The Minutemen rode Army all day long, creating a disruption in the clearing game that saw the Black Knights go 9-of-14. UMass also held a 23-16 advantage in ground balls and outshot Army 47-30. Both teams relied on new starting goalkeepers for the 2013 lid lifter. For the Black Knights, sophomore Sam Somers got the early call before junior Bobby Sincero entered the contest midway through the second quarter. Sincero made eight saves in just under 41 minutes of work. UMass’ Zachary Oliveri made seven stops and played all but the final two minutes. Game Notes: Sunday’s opener matched last year for

The Black Knights took 53 shots and dominated the ground ball battle, 49-31. Much of Army’s offense came due to increased possession. Freshman Alex Daly won 13 face-offs to help the cause. The final six-goal margin matched the largest of the game, as the Black Knights enjoyed previous leads of 8-2, 10-4, 12-6 and 13-7. Game Notes: Army owns a 74-22 record in home openers ...

Army improved to 6-0 all-time against VMI with a home win on Feb. 16.
GAME 3 FEBRUARY 16 ARMY 14, VMI 8 WEST POINT, N.Y. - Three days later and it was the same result for the Army lacrosse team - a 14-8 victory. The story Saturday, however, was senior attackman Garrett Thul exploding for a careerhigh seven goals and sophomore attackman Alex Newsome (six points) continuing his standout play. Thul added an assist to finish with a careerbest eight points in a monster offensive effort. Thul and Newsome combined for 11 of 14 goals for Army (2-1), which remained a perfect 5-0 against VMI (0-2). Seniors Alex Van Krevel, Andrew Boyd and Matt Mezer each tallied single goals. Sophomore attackman John Glesener added a game-high three assists. Statistically, Army dominated the Keydets, outshooting them 60-18 and owning a 50-31 advantage on ground balls. Thanks in large part to a stellar riding effort, Army’s attack combined for seven caused turnovers. Freshman attackman Connor Cook totaled three alone to lead the team. VMI’s face-off unit, coupled with a 33 of the Black Knights’ 60 shots being on cage, heated up in the second half and helped keep the score from getting out of hand. Mezer, who scored his first career goal six seconds into the second quarter, keyed the Black Knights in winning 16-of-25 face-offs. Army was also 21-of-22 on clears and scored on three of six on extra-man opportunities. After a relatively quiet first half, during which he still managed to tally a pair of goals, Thul caught fire with five second-half goals - three of which came in the final 7:34 of the game. Army, which led 6-4 at the half, gave up backto-back VMI goals to close the third quarter. The spurt pulled the Keydets within 9-7 heading into the final 15 minutes. It was then that Thul and the Black Knights out-scored VMI 5-1 to put the exclamation point on its second win of the season.
Game Notes: Army honored the memory of 1LT Chase Prasnicki, a former Black Knight football player and 2010 West Point graduate who was killed in Afghanistan in June, prior to the game ... Chase’s younger brother plays for VMI ... the boys’ mother, Debbie Arthur, was on hand, along with head football coach Rich Ellerson, Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan and head lacrosse officer representative COL Rick McPeak ... Army donned its gray jerseys, which it only does against other service academies, in a nod to the Long Gray Line ... Garrett Thul extended the nation’s longest goalscoring streak to 42 games ... he now has 134 goals, which is just six off the Academy career mark (Scott Finlay ‘78 has 140) ... sophomore Sam Somers started the game in goal, while junior Bobby Sincero played most of the second half ... senior Evan Danahy drew his first minutes of the season, playing the final 1:42.

Sophomore attackman John Glesener and junior middie Tyler Kamide accounted for the Black Knights’ goals, but the Orange defense held the rest of the team in check all afternoon en route its first win of the season. Both of Army’s goals came in the second quarter, but Syracuse netted three of the final four goals of the game to secure the win. Senior midfielder Pat Brennan assisted on Kamide’s score to round out the Black Knights’ point production. Somers scattered 18 saves – the most made by an Army player since Tom Palesky ’11 – throughout the contest. The Wilton, Conn., native turned away seven shots in the second quarter. A defensive struggle from the opening face-off, the Orange drew first blood Billy Ward went low to beat Somers at the 4:24 mark. The Black Knights looked to level the score with a long possession not long after, but were unsuccessful in four shots shots down the stretch. The 1-0 lead held at the end of the first frame. After Army successfully killed a Syracuse manup chance early in the second quarter, the Orange took advantage later on the same possession, pushing its lead to 2-0 with a Scott Loy goal at the 11:42 mark. Syracuse won the ensuing face-off and scored again less than two minutes later as Luke Cometti score at 10:09 put them on top, 3-0. The Black Knights cashed in on its first lengthy possession of the quarter as Brennan fed Kamide, playing in front of a hometown crowd, for a tricky behind-the-back score at the 8:15 mark. Syracuse quickly stole the momentum back with back-toback goals over the next four minutes to match its largest lead of the game, 5-1. Glesener found himself in space and ripped an eight-yard lazer with just under four minutes left in the half, pulling the Black Knights within 5-2
GAME 5 MARCH 2 ARMY 12, MICHIGAN 1 with 3:53 on the clock. Somers stood tall in the goal throughout the opening 30 minutes of action, registering eight first-half saves. Freshman midfielder Alex Daly won the opening face-off of the second half, resulting in two quality shots over the first two minutes for the Black Knights. Neither got through, however, and Syracuse took advantage of an EMO opportunity on its next possession and pushed its lead to 6-2 with 9:57 remaining in the quarter. The teams played back-and-forth the rest of the way, as the score remained 6-2 at the end of the frame.

Syracuse came up empty on nine fourthquarter shots to provide the final 6-2 decision.

MIAMI, Fla. - Senior attackman Garrett Thul led all players with seven goals en route to breaking Army’s all-time goals record in a 12-1 win over Michigan on Saturday night. Playing in the marquee game of the second Orange Bowl Lacrosse Classic at Sun Life Stadium, Thul’s effort brought his career total to 141 career goals and broke Scott Finlay’s mark, which was set from 1975-78. In the first meeting between the two programs, Army (3-2) dominated the Wolverines from the start and held an opponent to one goal for the first time since 2011. For his standout efforts, Thul took home the game’s Most Valuable Player award and gave all credit to his teammates in a speech following the game. Thul added one assist to lead all players with eight points on the night. Sophomore attackman John Glesener finished with five points (1G, 4A), while sophomore midfielder Alex Newsome added a pair of goals. Freshman attackman Will Mazzone and senior midfielder Andrew Boyd each added single goals in the Black Knights’ third victory of the season. Peter Kraus scored Michigan’s (0-4) lone goal of the game with 10:27 left in the second quarter. The Black Knights scored all three goals of the first quarter and rattled off nine unanswered after Kraus’ goal to secure the win. During that scoring surge, Thul scored a natural hat trick with a trio of second-quarter goals spanning from 9:21-5:22. Army outshot the Wolverines 52-18 and scored three man-up goals. The teams nearly split face-off wins with Michigan holding a slight 9-of-18 edge. The Black Knights picked up 35 ground balls, including a team high four from sophomore defensive midfielder Al DeStefano, to the Wolverines’ 32. Appropriately, Thul got Army on the board 5:13 into the game off a feed from Glesener, who later found Boyd from “x” for the Black Knights’ second goal at the 6:26 mark. On the ensuing face-off, which rookie Alex Daly won, freshman Connor Cook picked up the ground ball and found Thul for a turnaround shot that gave the Black Knights a 3-0 lead with 6:11 to go in the first quarter. Michigan’s lone goal of the game opened the second quarter scoring at the 10:27 mark. Just over a minute later Thul began his three-goal assault, which included a pair of man-up goals off Mazzone assists, extending the Black Knights’ lead to a comfortable 6-1. Army starting goalkeeper Sam Somers made eight of his 12 saves in the second half, helping to keep Michigan off the scoreboard. The Black Knights, meanwhile, exploded for six second-half goals. Newsome scored back-to-back spanning the third and fourth quarters, while Thul’s record-breaking goal came as Army took advantage of a failed Michigan clear and scored with 7:02 remaining in the game. Boyd earned the assist on the play.

ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS 2013 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS GAME 6 MARCH 9 ARMY 10, RUTGERS 8 PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Sophomore attackman John Glesener led all players with a career-high four goals as the Army lacrosse team edged Rutgers, 10-8, on Saturday afternoon at the RU Stadium Complex. A back-and-forth contest all afternoon, Glesener scored a clutch insurance goal with 1:31 remaining to clinch the Black Knights’ victory. In the 66th-straight meeting between the two programs, Army (4-2) out-shot Rutgers (2-5) 41-28 and scored two man-up goals en route to the win. Senior attackman Garrett Thul netted a pair of scores in his home state, while Alex Newsome, Pat Brennan, Alex Van Krevel and Matt Ghidotti each scored single goals. The Black Knights scored four of the first five goals of the game to build a 4-1 lead midway through the second quarter. The Scarlet Knights scored twice in the final three minutes of the half to pull within 4-3 at intermission. Army scored a game-high four goals in the third quarter and led 8-6 on a Thul goal with 20 seconds left in the quarter. The teams traded goals a combined four goals in the fourth quarter, including Glesener’s clutch goal and a timely face-off win for rookie Alex Daly to keep possession and keep the ball out of Rutgers’ stick. A wild final 15 minutes saw each team score twice, but Daly won three of four face-offs to help Army possess the ball throughout much of the final frame. Brennan scored his second goal of the season on a pass from junior middie Tyler Kamide to make it 9-7 Army with 8:05 to play. The Scarlet Knights scored man-up with 6:54 on the clock to inch within 9-8 as DePaolera beat Somers. More than five scoreless minutes ensued before Glesener netted his fourth goal of the day, a rocket with 1:31 remaining just after a Rutgers penalty had expired. Daly won the face-off and Army hung on for the victory. Game Notes: John Glesener tied his career-high with five points (4G, 1A) for the second game in a row … he led Army in scoring last season against Rutgers as well (3G, 2A) … former Army great Scott Finlay ’79 was in attendance … Finlay held the program’s goalscoring record (140) for 35 years before Garrett Thul broke it last weekend against Michigan … the victory was Army’s sixth-straight against Rutgers ... the series dates back to 1923 … senior goalkeeper Evan Danahy carried the American flag onto the field pregame.

GAME 7 MARCH 16 #16/15 LEHIGH 10, ARMY 6
2013 Defensive Player of the Year Brendan Buckley against Lehigh last spring at Michie Stadium.
WEST POINT, N.Y. - For the second week in a row, Army sophomore attackman John Glesener put up a hat trick to lead the Black Knights, but this Saturday it was not enough to produce a victory as his team suffered a 10-6 loss to No. 16/15 Lehigh in the Patriot League opener for both teams at Michie Stadium. Glesener paced Army’s (4-3) attack with three goals en route to his third hat trick of the season. Senior attackman Garrett Thul punched in one goal and added a career-high two assists, while sophomore Alex Newsome and freshman Will Mazzone added single goals. Earning its second-straight victory, Lehigh (5-3) got three goals out of middie Brian Hess and two each from David DiMaria and Alex Drake. Reigning Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Year Matt Poillon, making his second start of the season, finished with 15 saves. A sluggish first half cost the Black Knights in the four-goal setback. Army trailed 6-2 at the half, while both teams tallied four second-half goals. Thul, Newsome and Mazzone all scored as Army out-tallied the Mountain Hawks 3-1 in the third quarter and pulled within 7-5. Lehigh responded with a 3-1 run to close the game and escape with its third-straight win over the Black Knights. Lehigh out-shot Army 34-29 and held a 3721 advantage in ground balls. The Mountain Hawks won 14-of-20 face-offs - 13 of which were courtesy of second team all-league performer Ryan Snyder. Lehigh committed 21 turnovers on the day, while Army surrendered 18. The Black Knights scored the only man-up goal of the afternoon. The Mountain Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but the Glesener got the Black Knights on the board with a goal with 56 seconds left in the opening quarter to slice Lehigh’s lead in half. The second quarter was all Lehigh, scoring four goals to Army’s one - Glesener’s eight-yard score from Tyler Kamide. The Mountain Hawks took a 6-2 lead into the locker room. Army came out swinging to open the third, as
Thul fed Mazzone for goal just outside the crease at the 11:08 mark for the Black Knights’ third goal of the game. Lehigh answered less than four minutes later to lead 7-3, but Thul and Newsome scored back-to-back over the final 3:04 to inch Army within 7-5 at the end of 45 minutes of action. Thul’s goal came just after a Lehigh penalty expired as fellow senior Kip Haddock tallied his first assist of the season. The Mountain Hawks were called for a cross check not long after - capping a stretch of three-straight Lehigh penalties - which allowed Newsome to net the lone man-up goal of the game. Glesener earned the assist to round out his four-point effort. Lehigh went back up by three, 8-5, less than two minutes into the fourth quarter on a Dan Taylor goal. The Mountain Hawks continued to wear down Army’s defense with long possessions and cashed in again with 9:17 remaining to go up 9-5. Glesener’s third goal of the game with 6:11 left sparked the Black Knights, but Lehigh quickly took possession and continued to eat up the clock. The Mountain Hawks scored their final goal with 1:17 remaining.

WEST POINT, N.Y. - Attackmen Garrett Thul (6G) and John Glesener (4G, 4A) combined for 14 points as the Army lacrosse team clicked on all cylinders in a 15-6 win over visiting Lafayette on Saturday afternoon at Michie Stadium. Earning their first Patriot League win of the season, the Black Knights recorded a season-high number of goals. Thul’s six goals led all players, while Glesener matched career highs in goals (four) and assists (four) and set a career best with eight points. Sophomore middie Alex Newsome and a quartet of freshmen - Tim Coll, Mike Perettine, Will Mazzone and Alex Daly - each registered single goals. In one of the team’s most effective defensive performances this of the season, Army (5-3, 1-1 Patriot League) caused 12 of Lafayette’s (2-7, 0-3) 26 turnovers on the day. The Black Knights also held a 43-35 advantage in ground balls. Army dominated the game offensively from the onset and never took its foot off the gas. The Black Knights carried an 8-1 lead into the halftime locker room after scoring all five second-quarter goals. Lafayette got going early in the second half, scoring two of the first three goals of the third quarter, but Army answered with three-straight to stave off any notion of a rally. Glesener and Thul got things rolling early for the Black Knights, each scoring unassisted goals in the opening three minutes as Army went on top 2-0. Round got Lafayette on the board at the 4:13 mark, but Army quickly made it 3-1 as Thul found the net at 4:05. His second goal of the game came thanks to a Daly face-off win and quick transition with the assist to freshman Connor Cook. The Black Knights went on to score all five second-quarter goals, including three from Thul and two from Glesener. While four of the five goals went unassisted, freshman middie A.J. Canara recorded his first collegiate point on an assist in transition to Thul at the 9:48 mark. Glesener’s goal with 11 seconds left gave the Black Knights a comfortable 7-1 lead, but Daly won the ensuing face-off and scored his first collegiate goal with five seconds on the clock to make it 8-1 at intermission. The Leopards got some offense going in the second half, scoring five of their six goals over the final 30 minutes. Lafayette, however, inched no closer than six goals the rest of the way. After a Cory Scheuele goal pulled the Leopards within 9-3 with 5:39 left in the third quarter, Army reeled off three unanswered goals to hold a 12-3 lead heading into the final quarter. Each team scored three fourth quarter goals, but the damage was already done for Lafayette.
HAMILTON, N.Y. - Sophomore goalkeeper Sam Somers made 13 saves and sophomore attackman John Glesener tallied five goals as the Army lacrosse team picked up a dominating 10-4 win at Colgate on a windy Easter Sunday at Andy Kerr Stadium. The Black Knights clicked on all cylinders en route to their second Patriot League win of the season. Somers turned in one if his best performances of the season, making four saves in the fourth quarter to help preserve the win. Glesener registered his fourthstraight hat trick and led all players with six points to include a career-high five goals. Senior tri-captain Andrew Boyd added two goals, while Pat Brennan, Garrett Thul and Al DeStefano added single goals. Anchored by Somers’ standout effort, the Army (6-3, 2-1 Patriot League) defense held Colgate (7-3, 2-1) to its second-lowest scoring output of the season and ended reigning Tewaaraton Award winner Peter Baum’s 54-game point scoring streak. Senior close defenseman Brendan Buckley marked Baum all afternoon, while junior John Burk surrendered just one goal to Colgate’s second-leading scorer Ryan Walsh. Somers and freshman face-off specialist Alex Daly paced the Black Knights with five ground balls. Daly went 10-of-17 in the “x.” The Black Knights took control from the opening face-off, scoring the first five goals of the game and holding the Raiders scoreless over the opening 26 minutes. Colgate got on the board with 3:56 remaining in the second quarter, but the Black Knights never gave up momentum in the statement victory. Army came out of the gate clicking on all cylinders, not allowing Colgate into its offensive zone over the first three minutes and taking a 2-0 lead in the process. Daly won the opening two face-offs, which helped the Black Knights maintain possession and get a jump on the home Raiders. Glesener bounced a shot off the pipe and in for the first goal of the game. The Black Knights later thwarted Colgate’s first offensive possession with a speedy transition goal as DeStefano, a sophomore defensive middie, netted his first career goal at 10:25. Sophomore long stick midfielder Jimbo D’Aprile earned the assist. After over seven minutes of scoreless lacrosse, the Black Knights pushed their lead to 3-0 as senior tricaptain Andrew Boyd’s rebound shot got past Colgate goalkeeper Conor Murphy at 3:07. The 3-0 score stood at the end of the first quarter. The Black Knights played man-down to start the second quarter due to a two-minute penalty with 30 seconds remaining in the first frame. Army
successfully killed Colgate’s first EMO of the day and got back to work. Army pushed its lead to 5-0 with back-to-back goals over the first eight minutes of the second. Thul’s first score of the game came on a 15-yard rip at 10:21 before Glesener notched his second on a 20-yard laser with 7:29 to play before the half. After holding Colgate’s potent offense scoreless for the first 26:04 of the game, the Black Knights surrendered their first goal at 3:56 as the Raiders pulled within 5-1. That score stood at halftime, as Somers saved a last-second shot from Baum. Army cashed in on a long possession early in the third quarter as Brennan reeled in a Glesener pass to make it 6-1 with 11:07 on the clock. Nearly seven minutes of scoreless play ensued before the Black Knights broke the silence with their seventh score of the game at the 3:32 mark. Freshman Tim Coll hit Boyd close range for his second goal of the day. The Raiders retaliated right away with their second goal on the next possession to pull within 7-2 with 2:29 to play. Glesener went on to complete the hat trick with his third goal at 1:25 as Army held an 8-2 lead after 45 minutes. Somers made three huge saves over the opening four minutes of the fourth quarter, while the Black Knights continued to burn clock with long possessions on the offensive end. Each team tallied two fourthquarter goals, but the damage was already done for Colgate, which ended a four-game win streak.

ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS 2013 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS GAME 10 APRIL 6 #11/13 BUCKNELL 9, ARMY 8 WEST POINT, N.Y. - In a game when neither team led by more than two goals, it seemed fitting that the action would go down to the wire. That it did as visiting No. 11/13 Bucknell edged Army, 9-8, on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Michie Stadium. The Black Knights had the ball over the final 1:41, but the equalizer would not come as Army dropped to 6-4 on the season and 2-2 in Patriot League play.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Rookie midfielder Alex Daly went 20-of-24 on face-offs and classmate Will Mazzone recorded his first career hat trick, but 20 turnovers and three Bucknell man-up goals plagued No. 3 Army as it fell to second-seeded Bison in the Patriot League Tournament’s first semifinal match-up on Friday at topseeded Lehigh’s Ulrich Sports Complex. The first half was a game of runs as Bucknell held a slight 6-5 halftime advantage. The Bison proceeded to score the first five goals of the second half, which extended its lead to 11-5 with less than eight minutes to play in the game and put the contest out of Army’s reach. The Black Knights scored the final three goals of the game, as attackmen John Glesener, Garrett Thul and Mazzone each found the back of the net over the final 2:24. The surge was not enough, however, as Army got ousted in the semifinal round of the Patriot League Tournament presented by Rockin’ Refuel for the thirdstraight year. Army (8-5) owned a 42-41 edge in shots, which included 17 in the fourth quarter, and a 34-27 advantage in ground balls. Daly amassed a careerbest 12 ground balls in the setback. Bucknell (12-3) forced 14 of Army’s 20 turnovers and was 3-of-4 manup as it punched its ticket to Sunday’s Patriot League Championship. Mazzone’s three goals paced the Black Knights offense, while Thul and Glesener tallied two goals apiece. Glesener added a pair of assists and tied Mazzone (3G, 1A) with a team-high four points. The Army defense surrendered double-digit goals for the third time this season. Sophomore Michael Larrabee totaled three caused turnovers while sophomore goalkeeper Sam Somers recorded 12 saves. Game Notes: Senior Matt Ghidotti led the team onto the field carrying the American flag ... Army has made the Patriot League Tournament field every season under head coach Joe Alberici ... Army leads the alltime series 26-12 ... Bucknell topped Army 9-8 during the regular season ...

Then-rookies Connor Cook (left) and Alex Daly (right) faced perennial powerhouse Johns Hopkins for the first time last spring at Michie Stadium.
GAME 14 MAY 3 #14/16 JOHNS HOPKINS 9, ARMY 4 WEST POINT, N.Y. - No. 14/16 Johns Hopkins scored five of six second-half goals to pull away from Army in a 9-4 decision on Senior Night at Michie Stadium. In a game that included a combined 17 penalties, the teams played in front of a stadium record 10,340 fans under the lights on Friday in the Black Knights’ season finale. Junior attackman Brandon Benn led all players with four goals for the Blue Jays, while senior attackman Garrett Thul ended his Army career with a team-high two goals and became the only player in the program’s rich 96-year history to register three 40-plus goal seasons. Thul broke the Academy’s alltime goals record earlier this season and finished his All-American career with 163 tallies. The Blue Jays held a 35-32 edge in shots and a 37-27 advantage in ground balls. Army freshman midfielder Alex Daly won eight of 17 face-offs, while sophomore goalkeeper Sam Somers turned in 11 saves. The Black Knights committed 15 turnovers to Hopkins’ 14 miscues. Hopkins’ senior goalkeeper Pierce Bassett made 14 saves, which included the 500th of his career late in the fourth quarter. Twelve of the game’s 17 penalties occurred in the second half, including eight in the fourth quarter alone. Despite the plentiful chances, both teams struggled in the extra-man game as Army went 1-of-7 and Johns Hopkins 2-of-8. The first quarter proved to be a defensive struggle on both ends of the field. The Blue Jays drew first blood and scored the lone goal of the opening stanza just 1:06 into the action. The scoring picked up in the second quarter as the teams combined for six goals. The Blue Jays struck early once again, taking a 2-0 lead on a Wells Stanwick goal at 13:39. Senior tri-captain Brendan Buckley marked Stanwick, the Blue Jays’ leading scorer entering the game, and held him to one goal on the night. Army’s offense got rolling just minutes later, however, as sophomore midfielder Alex Newsome and Thul scored back-to-back to even the

scoreboard. Newsome netted his 18th goal of the season as he picked up his own loose change and found the back of the cage at 11:54. Thirty seconds later, sophomore attackman John Glesener found Thul for a 12-yard laser and his 40th goal of the season. Hopkins regained a 3-2 lead with a Ryan Brown goal at 8:37, but Army once again tied the score at 3-3 on Thul’s second goal in a row. Senior midfielder Matt Ghidotti bounced a pass to a waiting Thul just outside the crease at 7:04. The Blue Jays netted the final score of the half with 3:27 on the clock and carried a 4-3 advantage into intermission. The Black Knights fought through being two men down early in the third quarter. That stretch included two of Somers’ four saves for the frame. While coming up empty on the EMO, Hopkins notched back-to-back goals during a five-minute span midway through the quarter to stretch its lead to 6-3 at the 5:47 mark. That score stood as the quarter came to an end. The Black Knights opened the fourth-quarter scoring as senior midfielder Pat Brennan beat Bassett at the 9:57 mark to pull Army within 6-4. Hopkins (9-5) went on to score three unanswered insurance goals over the final eight minutes to secure its ninth win of the year. The Black Knights close out the 2013 season with an 8-6 record. Army welcomes back six starters, including the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year in Glesener and Daly at the face-off “x.” Game Notes: Senior attackman Garrett Thul led the team onto the field carrying the American flag ... Thul is currently tied with Colgate’s Peter Baum for the Patriot League record ... the Raiders play Saturday afternoon at Maryland ... Army honored the 1983 and 1993 teams, along with Lacrosse Hall of Fame head coaches Dick Edell and Jack Emmer, at halftime ...

Now in its third decade as an all-sport conference combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Boston University, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Loyola and Navy as full members, and Fordham, Georgetown and MIT as associate members. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League finished at the top spot with nearly all of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 82 teams from Patriot League full-member institutions earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competitive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society.
Under the guidance of head coach Joe Alberici, Army lacrosse players have excelled in the classroom, as well as the lacrosse field. Since Alberici arrived at West Point nine years ago, Army players have won the Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year award five times. In 2010, Andrew Maisano was named the Patriot League ScholarAthlete of the Year for lacrosse in addition to being named the recipient of the Senior CLASS Award. Maisano, who became the fourth Army lacrosse player to earn the league’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year award in the 20-year history of the conference, became the first Army lacrosse player to ever receive the Patriot League Overall Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. The award considers student-athletes from each of the conference’s 23 sports. Brendan Buckley ’13 followed in Maisano’s footsteps as a two-time Overall Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Senior CLASS Award recipient. He was also a third team All-American defenseman as a senior.

ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS ARMY LACROSSE HISTORY
Early Army lacrosse action from 1939.
One of the most storied institutions in the nation, West Point is also home to one of the oldest and most successful college lacrosse programs in the country. The Black Knights embark on their 94th season of intercollegiate lacrosse Feb. 10 (the earliest season opener in Academy history) when they host Massachusetts at Michie Stadium. Joe Alberici enters his seventh season along the sidelines and hopes to lead the program back to a Patriot League title and run in the NCAA Tournament. With 725 victories under its belt, Army’s lacrosse program ranks sixth in all-time wins, behind only Johns Hopkins, Syracuse, Navy, Hobart and Maryland. Army lacrosse has earned eight national championships before the NCAA sanctioned a postseason tournament in 1971, while 12 men (eight players and four coaches) associated with the program’s history have been welcomed into the National Lacrosse Foundation Hall of Fame. Additionally, former legendary head coach F. Morris Touchstone was part of the inaugural class to be enshrined in the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. Touchstone, who retired in 1957, is still the Academy’s all-time winningest lacrosse coach. He was joined by legendary head coach Ace Adams in the Army Hall of Fame in 2011. Further testimony to Army’s prominent place on the landscape of collegiate lacrosse is evident in the postseason awards. Two of the five existing national lacrosse awards bear the name of a former member of the Army lacrosse “family.” The national Coach of the Year award is named in honor of Touchstone, while the national Player of the Year award is recognized as the Lt. Raymond J. Enners Award – a 1967 Academy graduate. Two former Black Knights (Pete Cramblet in 1970 and Tom Cafaro in 1971) have won the Enners Award, while James “Ace” Adams (1961) and Dick Edell (1978) were presented with the Touchstone “Coach of the Year” honor. Three Black Knights have been named the nation’s top attackman while two have earned outstanding goalie plaudits (including A. Norman Webb, who earned that distinction in 1963 and 1964). Eight Army players have captured the nod as the top defenseman in the country.

James Hartinger to follow. Wilson was the first West Point athlete to earn first team All-America accolades in both lacrosse and football in the same year, accomplishing that feat in 1926. Charles Born, a first team football All-American in 1925 was selected as a first team lacrosse All-American in 1928. Throughout its early days, the lacrosse program enjoyed a close affiliation with the Army football team as many gridders kept themselves athletically fit by excelling in lacrosse each spring. Among Army’s early lacrosse All-Americans were gridders Wilson, Born, Milt Summerfelt, Robert Stillman, Clinton True and Woodrow Wilson. Bill Carpenter would equal that feat prior to his graduation in 1960. Carpenter achieved national acclaim as the “Lonely End” on Army’s football team. Much like Touchstone, who was a lacrosse visionary, the “Lonely End” formation was the brainchild of Hall of Fame football coach Earl “Red” Blaik. So intertwined were the success of the gridders and laxmen that both programs captured national championships in 1944 and 1945.
TRACING LACROSSE’S ROOTS Lacrosse had a sparse beginning at West Point as an Academy-sponsored sport. The U.S. Military Academy supported an intercollegiate squad in DAWN OF THE MODERN ERA 1907, 1909 and 1910 before the sport really took The one constant throughout all of Army’s off for good in 1921. Despite its shaky start off success was a stingy defense. Don Tillar and the field, the program enjoyed immediate on-field Carpenter were named the nation’s top defenseman success, foreshadowing a long, rich history as one in 1959 and 1960, respectively, headlining a of the nation’s elite teams. Those squads of 1907, span of 15 years in which six Black Knights were 1909 and 1910 combined to win all 10 of their presented with that honor. games. The benefactor, as well as a chief contributor, of By 1923, in only the program’s sixth year, head Army’s stellar defense during the mid-1960s was coach Talbot Hunter brought home the Academy’s Norman Webb, who became a two-time national first national championship when his Black Knights Goalie of the Year and an All-American. concluded the season with an 8-1-1 mark. In Adams had the unenviable task of replacing Hunter’s first campaign along the Hudson, Army Touchstone in 1958. But “Ace” was equal to the was 2-3. However, the Black Knights rebounded task, forging a 9-0 mark in his first year on the job with a 6-1 showing in 1922, beginning a stretch and earning a share of the national title. It was of 33 consecutive seasons in which Army posted a Army’s first perfect season since 1910. winning record. In a dozen years at West Point, Adams’ teams West Point’s lacrosse fortunes reached its won .777 percent of its games — including a then all-time high under direction of the legendary Academy-record 10-win performance during his Touchstone, who guided his charges to 214 wins, against just 73 losses and four ties, during a 29-year career as Army mentor. He roamed the Army sidelines from 1929 through 1957. During his tenure, the Black Knights of the Hudson won or shared three national titles, capturing the outright crown in 1944 before sharing it with Navy in 1945 and Princeton in 1951. Forty-two of the 83 first team All-Americans in Army history came while Touchstone was the coach. His resume, laden with a .743 winning percentage at Army and coupled with a strong four-year stint as head coach at Yale, earned him an induction into the Hall of Fame in 1960, just three years after his retirement. His entry into the Hall paved the way for All-Americans Harry Army played its home games on “The Plain,”as well as at Daly Field, Clinton Wilson, Thomas Truxtun and Field and Shea Stadium, before moving into Michie Stadium.
@ARMY_LACROSSE ARMY LACROSSE HISTORY
ARMY JOINS EXCLUSIVE 700-WIN CLUB Army became only the fifth lacrosse program in the nation to total 700 victories with its win over VMI on Feb. 14, 2009. In 95 seasons, the Black Knights are the owners of a 740-358-7 record since defeating Steven’s Tech, 3-1, in the program’s first outing in 1907. Cornell joined the 700-win club with its final win of 2012. Army is one of only seven teams with more than 700 wins:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7
SCHOOL W-L-T Johns Hopkins .....................933-303-15 Syracuse .............................. 846-324-16 Navy ..................................... 759-324-14 Maryland ................................ 747-257-4 ARMY ...................................740-358-7 Hobart ..................................738-464-20 Cornell ..................................714-451-27
final season in 1969 — and shared the national championship four times, 1958, 1959, 1961 and 1969. In 1961, after a 9-2 campaign, Adams was named national Coach of the Year. An All-America midfielder during his college days at Johns Hopkins, Adams joined Touchstone in the Hall of Fame during induction ceremonies in 1975. By that time Robert Miser, Webb and Cramblet had also been enshrined following stellar careers. In 2010, Dick Edell increased Army’s representation in the Hall of Fame to 11 with his enshrinement. It marked the second consecutive year that the Hall of Fame class included a member of the Army family. In 2003, another stalwart from the Ace Adams era earned his way into the hallowed hall when Tom Sheckells (USMA ’65) was voted in posthumously. Cramblet and Cafaro, who were the cornerstones of the Army team during the transition from Adams to successor Al Pisano, helped establish the Black Knights as an explosive offensive team. Cramblet would graduate in 1970 as the Academy’s all-time leading scorer with 150 points, but Cafaro would shatter that mark one year later following an 85point senior season that vaulted his career point total to 167. With Pisano at the helm, the Black Knights played an instrumental role in the emergence of the NCAA Tournament. The NCAA unveiled its eightteam playoff format in 1971 and the Black Knights found themselves in the first lacrosse final four. Cafaro was the impetus behind that success, scoring 18 points in Army’s two contests. The Black Knights defeated Hofstra in the opening round (19-6) but lost to eventual champion Cornell, 17-16, in the semifinals. Both games were held at West Point. In fact, since the tourney’s inception, West Point has been the home to postseason play in seven different years, most recently in 2001 when the first round was held at Michie Stadium. The Black Knights were members of the first three NCAA tourney fields and last appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 2010, when they reached
the second round. Army is one of only 11 lacrosse programs that have appeared in at least a dozen postseason tournaments since the event began in 1971. Dick Edell, who succeeded Pisano and forged a .733 winning percentage in his seven-year stint at the Academy, continued Army’s success. He guided the Black Knights to the NCAA Tournament in four of his seven years along the Army sideline. Goalie George Slabowski and attackman Frank Giordano were the featured stars of Edell’s era. Both earned first team All-America accolades in 1983 — Edell’s final season — as Army put forth the first of two successive 11-3 marks. THE EMMER ERA Jack Emmer, who had been a highly successful coach during stints at Cortland State and Washington & Lee, replaced Edell in the spring of 1984. Emmer’s inaugural season along the banks of the Hudson was a resounding success as the team became just the second Army squad to reach the final four, edging Pennsylvania, 8-7 at Franklin Field in the NCAA Quarterfinals. That would be the first of eight postseason bids earned by Emmer’s Black Knights. When Army defeated Cornell in the 1996 season opener, Emmer joined Touchstone as the only coaches in Army history to reach 100 wins at the Academy. One of Emmer’s most successful seasons came in 1993 when a senior-dominated Army team — paced by Steve Heller, who would graduate as the Academy’s career scoring leader with 204 points — finished the regular season with an 11-3 record before beating Maryland 15-11 in the opening round of the NCAA tourney. In 1997 and 1998, Ross Yastrzemsky and Chad Hadlock eclipsed the century mark for career points. Yastrzemsky graduated as the program’s highest scoring midfielder, compiling 121 points. He added an honorable mention All-America certificate to his accolades after the 1997 season. Emmer coached 27 All-Americans in his 22 years at the Academy, including Jim Wagner and John Walker (USMA ’06). Tim Pearson (USMA ’02), a three-time honorable mention All-American, concluded his exceptional career as the Academy’s all-time leading scorer. He smashed Heller’s previous mark, finishing with 238 points. Emmer led Army into league play when the Patriot League was formed in 1991. The Black Knights did not lose a game to a conference foe in their first 25 contests, reeling off one of the nation’s longest conference winning streaks. That string still stands as the longest in Patriot League history. Army’s peerless leader guided the Black Knights back into the NCAA Tournament in 2005 for the eighth time and the 15th time overall for the storied program. It also marked the third straight season that the Black Knights were invited to the NCAA Tournament. Despite finishing runner-up at the Patriot League Tournament, Army was one of 10 at-large bids to the NCAA tournament. Emmer led his charges south of the Mason-Dixon line for a match-up with No. 8 Georgetown. The Black Knights dropped that NCAA First Round contest, 16-6 to the Hoyas. Emmer carried on the Academy’s long line of coaching success among a lineage of legendary lacrosse mentors at West Point. However, that long
Jack Emmer retired following the 2005 season as the winningest coach in NCAA lacrosse history. He collected 186 of his 325 wins during his 22 seasons at West Point.
run came to a close in May 2005 when Emmer announced his retirement from coaching after 36 years. He left the game as the all-time winningest lacrosse coach in NCAA history. NEW BEGINNINGS The 2006 season brought a change of guard over the Army lacrosse program as one-time assistant coach, Joe Alberici, returned to succeed his former mentor Jack Emmer. Alberici became just the 10th head coach in 88 years of the Academy’s program, following Joe Alberici and impressive list of four Hall of Fame coaches. In his first campaign as head coach, Alberici paced the Black Knights to an 8-7 finish and a No. 20 USILA/USA Today ranking. Army fell just short of the NCAA tournament after a runner-up finish at the Patriot League Championship. In 2008, Alberici led the Black Knights to a 9-6 record and the regular season Patriot League Championship with a 5-1 conference mark. For his efforts, he was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year, marking the first time an Army skipper won the award since Emmer nabbed his second honor in 1998. In 2010, Alberici guided Army to an 11-6 overall record, a perfect 6-0 Patriot League mark, two wins over Navy and its first-ever Patriot League tournament title. The Black Knights went on to knock off two-time defending national champion Syracuse in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The monumental win was lauded by many as one of the biggest upsets in collegiate lacrosse history. In each of the last three years, Alberici led his Black Knights to a Patriot League Tournament berth. While they have come up short in the semifinal both seasons, he continues to hold a high standard and will not settle for anything less than competing titles on both the conference and national level.

Now in its 41st season, the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament continues to be the premier event of the college lacrosse season each spring. NFL stadiums have hosted lacrosse’s final four in each of the past seven years, setting attendance records in each successive season. M&T Bank Stadium, home of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, served as host site for three championship events in 2003, 2004 and 2007, and will bring the championship weekend back again in 2010 and 2011. Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field served as host of championship weekend in 2005 and 2006, while Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass, home of the New England Patriots, hosted the 2008 and 2009 championships. Syracuse won its 11th NCAA Title last season with a 10-9 victory over Cornell in the championship game, played in front of over 50,000 fans. Army has played an important role in the development of the NCAA Tournament, having appeared in 15 postseason brackets and hosting tournament contests on seven occasions. The Black Knights have reached the final four twice since the tournament was created in 1971, Former head coach Jack Emmer reached the NCAA Tournament 16 times, ranking him second all-time in NCAA history. He took the Army Black Knights to the postseason tournament a schoolrecord eight times. He also reached the postseason seven consecutive seasons during his previous two stops at Cortland and Washington & Lee. That mark of consistency ranks tied for 12th all-time in the NCAAs. Former Army great Tom Cafaro (’71) still holds a share of an NCAA Tournament record with his seven goals in the 1971 semifinals against Cornell. That is tied for the most goals scored by an individual in an NCAA semifinal game. It is also the second-highest total scored in any NCAA Tournament contest. Cafaro’s 18 points in the 1971 tournament set a postseason scoring record and is still tied for the seventh best single postseason performance by an individual in the NCAAs. More amazingly, Cafaro amassed his 18 points in just two tournament games.

@ARMY_LACROSSE ARMY IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT Since its inception in 1971, Army has played a distinctive role in the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships. The Black Knights are one of only 13 programs to reach the postseason at least a dozen times, including three-straight appearances from 2003-2005. Additionally, Army has reached the final four of the tournament on two occasions (1971 and 1984). A grand total of 53 programs have qualified for the NCAA Tournament in its 40-year history. Expanding to 16 teams in 2003, the premier event of the men’s lacrosse season welcomes seven automatic qualifiers and selects nine at-large schools to fill out its bracket each year. The game’s growth over the years necessitated a move of championship weekend to larger stadiums. M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore has hosted three of the last six championship weekends, while Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field hosted the 2005 and 2006 festivities. The 2013 Final Four was once again played over Memorial Day weekend. The semifinals and finals took place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa.
The Black Knights have been a part of the NCAA Tournament 16 times and rank 14th all-time in tournament appearances. Army has qualified for the NCAAs at least twice in every decade since the tournament began in 1971. Current Army head coach Joe Alberici is no stranger to the NCAAs. He was an associate head coach at Duke University for nine seasons, leading the Blue Devils to the National Championship game in 2005 before falling by one goal to Johns Hopkins. Duke spent the majority of that season ranked second nationally behind the Blue Jays. West Point and venerable Michie Stadium have played host to the NCAA Tournament seven times, most recently in 2001 when Notre Dame, Bucknell, Virginia and Hofstra squared off in firstround tilts.

ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS THE ARMY-NAVY RIVALRY ALL-TIME RESULTS
The Class of 2012 celebrates after an unprecedented fourth-straight victory over Navy at Michie Stadium in 2012.
One of the most celebrated and revered rivalries in all of sports, the Army-Navy competition is not limited to the gridiron. The two service academies compete in 21 other intercollegiate sports. I n l a c ro s s e , t h e A r my - N av y rivalr y carries the same weight and expectations as its football counterpart. Adding to the mystique is the fact that the two academies annually rank in the national polls and are two of the most storied and successful programs in the history of the sport. Army and Navy rank among the all-time winningest programs in Division-I history. The two academies have combined for 25 national championships and even shared the national title in 1945 and 1961. Only 15 schools in the country have made a dozen or more NCAA Tournament appearances – Army and Navy are two of those institutions. Army knocked off Navy twice in 2010, including an 11-8 victory versus the Mids in the Patriot League Tournament championship. The 2008 edition of the game marked the end of the longest run of consecutive wins by either team in the history of the rivalry. Army’s 9-6 victory snapped an 11-year, 13-game winning streak the Mids started in 1998. The two schools histories are deeply intertwined with one another. Navy head coach Richie Meade was an assistant under former Army head coach Jack Emmer at West Point from 1991-94. One of the Mids’ most recent top scorers, Ian Dingman, has an older brother, Lee, who graduated from West Point in 2000 and was an
integral part of Emmer’s squads for four years. In the very first meeting, in 1924, the Midshipmen prevailed, 5-0. The two teams met every year from 192428, with Navy taking four wins and a tie, before putting the series on hold until 1933. After a nine-year wait, Army finally picked up its first win over Navy in 1933, 8-5. The Black Knights and Mids have met every year for the past 79 years. Navy holds a 57-31-3 advantage in the overall series. The Army-Navy series has consisted of numerous hard-fought games throughout the years. Of the first 83 Army-Navy clashes, 47 were decided by three goals or less, including 16 one-goal games and three ties. One of the most memorable of those one-goal affairs was a thrilling 11-10 double-overtime victory for the Black Knights in Annapolis in 1991. Army trailed 10-9 in the final minute with Navy holding possession of the ball trying to salt away the clock. Army goalie Rick Aguilar ranged far behind his own net to force a turnover, then fed Eric Waltz, who ran the length of the field and scored with four seconds to play. After a scoreless first overtime, the Black Knights’ Jim Gorman scored an unsettled goal with 1:05 left in the second overtime, ending a five-year losing streak to the Midshipmen. The 2000 game was no different, as the contest was tied five different times before Navy prevailed 10-8 in front of more than 2,600 fans at Michie Stadium. In 2002, the Mids came away with a 9-6 victory in that encounter to extend their winning streak over Army. Navy scored three times in the
82 | 2014 ARMY LACROSSE GUIDE
first six minutes of the second half to turn a one-goal lead into a four-goal advantage. In 2003, the bitter rivals put on yet another spectacular show, earmarking another for the classics. Army jumped on top early, 3-1, at a jam-packed Rip Miller Field. However, homestanding Navy retaliated with three unanswered goals to take the lead. From there, the two lacrosse giants traded blowfor-blow until the late stages of the fourth quarter. Navy scored twice in a 15 seconds to break a 9-9 tie. The Mids held a 12-10 advantage in the final minute of play, when Army’s Marko Kostovic scored with 16 seconds left. However, Navy won the ensuing faceoff and ran out the clock, ending Army’s comeback bid. In 2005, Army and Navy met twice in one season for the first time since 1981. The Midshipmen came away with a win in the regular-season encounter and again in the Patriot League Championship game to run their consecutive winning streak to nine straight. An Army-Navy record crowd of 12,117 saw the Midshipmen come away with a 12-9 victory and clinch home field advantage for the Patriot League Tournament later that month. On that occasion, another 5,451 fans poured into Navy-Marine Corps Stadium to watch Navy’s 15-8 victory. The recent series history has belonged to Army as the Black Knights will host Navy in on April 12 in search of an unprecendented sixth-straight victory over the Mids. Army has not lost to its archrival since 2009.
