WASHINGTON, D.C. – Prior to its three competitions in the Service Academy Challenge, the Army West Point volleyball team had a chance to tour the nation's capitol, meet some key influencers in the Senate and House of Representatives and have friendly interactions with their future competition. The team's first stop was outside the steps of the Supreme Court building where they were met by representatives of Pennsylvania Senator, Pat Toomey's office. The Cadets were then taking to the Capitol building for a private tour.
The Black Knights then held a light practice at the Pentagon. Employees that were working out during their lunch break, including many Old Grads, stopped by practice to express their excitement for the tournament. Many "Hooahs" were exchanged. In honor of the anniversary of Sept. 11, the tour led the Army team to the memorials of the West Wing that had been crashed into 14 years ago. The Cadets left a small note of comfort in the visitor's book at the indoor memorial, which the families of those lost, can read when seeking comfort.
Army will face service academy rival Air Force on Friday at 12 p.m. and Cal at 6:30 p.m. in the Pentagon Athletic Center. On Saturday, Army will face Harvard at the Fort Myer Fitness Center to close-out the Service Academy Challenge at 1 p.m. Read More
