According to the Athletic Director’s report, two more teams secured spots in the Patriot League Tournament. The lacrosse team clinched its ninth straight trip as third seed and will face second-seeded Bucknell on Friday at Lehigh. Well represented on the Patriot League Awards list, John Glesener was named the Offensive Player of the Year, and Brendan Buckley the Defensive Player of the year. In addition to Glesener and Buckley, Garrett Thul and Alex Daly were all named All-Patriot League First Team. Sam Somers and Jimbo D’Aprie were second-team selections.
The Baseball team will also be attending the Patriot League, with the help of Chris Rowley who threw a four-hit shutout at Bucknell. Depending on the outcome of this week’s play, Army could be the top seed in next month’s tournament.
The softball team will try to secure its postseason position when it travels to Lafayette this weekend. Currently in third place, the team is fighting for one of two available spots. 3-1 against Bucknell this past weekend to finish a 5-1 week, Morgan Lashley threw two shutouts recording a 0.45 ERA for the week and was named the Army Athletic Association Athlete of the Week.
Garrek Hojan-Clark and Kip Webber competed in the NCAA Gymnastics Championship. Both advanced to the finals, with Hojan-Clark placing 10th nationally on the pommel horse.
Golf and women’s tennis compete for Patriot League titles this weekend. The golf team will travel to Bethlehem, PA while the women’s tennis will host the conference tournament beginning Friday. Army, the top seed, will host the winner of the Colgate-Lehigh match at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
