November 06, 2015 | Men's Soccer
WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point men's soccer team concludes its regular season with a Patriot League match at Bucknell on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Army (5-6-5 overall, 3-2-3 Patriot League) enters the weekend in a tie with Navy for fifth place in the Patriot League standings. Both the Black Knights and the Midshipmen have 12 points in conference competition, but Army currently holds the No. 5 seed in the Patriot League Tournament after defeating Navy, 2-1, earlier this week. Bucknell (6-6-5, 2-3-3) sits three points behind Army and Navy and is seventh in the league, one spot out of the Patriot League Tournament.
The Black Knights can clinch a berth in the Patriot League Tournament with a win or a tie at Bucknell. Army would make the tournament with a loss only if Navy loses its season finale against Boston University.
Army owns a 20-14-0 advantage in an all-time series with Bucknell that dates back to the 1931 season. The Black Knights won three straight versus the Bison from 2011-2013 before Bucknell claimed a 2-1 victory in overtime at West Point last season. Bucknell won the Patriot League Championship and represented the conference in the NCAA Tournament in 2014.
