Freshman back Tanner Vosvick scored his first career goal to lift the Army Men’s Soccer team to a 1-0 win over Loyola in a Patriot League battle of regionally-ranked opponents Oct. 12 at Ridley Athletic Complex in Baltimore. With the win, the Black Knights, who stand seventh in the current National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Mid-Atlantic Region poll, improve to 9-1-1 overall and 4-0-0 in conference action, while the Greyhounds, who are ranked fifth in the North Atlantic Region, fall to 5-5-2 and 0-3-1. Junior goalkeeper Winston Boldt made five saves to notch his ninth shutout of the season, equaling the program record set by Frank Oprandy in 1988 and matched by Lucas Rice in 1992. The victory marks Army’s best start to a season since 1975, when it opened 10-1-0, and is the first time the Black Knights are 4-0 in Patriot League play since 1996. Senior goalie Zach Kane turned away a pair of shots for the hosts. “It was a very tough game,” Army head men’s soccer coach Russell Payne said. “Loyola has a very strong team that is very difficult to play against. I’m very proud of Winston Boldt’s effort tonight, he was immense in every part of the game.” Loyola tested Boldt and the Army defense early, taking a pair of shots on target during a 15-second stretch in the ninth minute. Junior forward Connor Thompson’s initial attempt was blocked away before Boldt saved a header by senior back Jamie Libby. Sophomore forward Cody Guerry and junior back Tommy Jaeger each fired a shot in the ensuing 10:42, but neither attempt got past Kane. Senior midfielder Diego McQuestion’s attempt hit the post in the 27th minute for the hosts before the Greyhounds had two additional chances in the next 1:03. Boldt made his second save of the match in the 30th minute on Loyola’s fourth shot during a span of 3:04 to keep the match tied at 0-0. Vosvick took advantage of a Greyhound foul in the 18-yard box, burying a penalty shot in the 36th minute and putting the Black Knights in front, 1-0. Neither team had a shot in the half’s final 9:14. Army had four straight shots in the second half's opening 9:25, but wasn’t able to bolster its lead. Loyola created scoring chances in the 73rd and 74th minutes, respectively, before winning four consecutive corners during a span of 33 seconds. The Greyhounds fired four shots in the final 3:52, but couldn’t beat Boldt and find the equalizer. The most dangerous of Loyola’s final chances came in the 88th minute, when Boldt made a diving save to his right to keep Thompson’s strike from connecting with the back of the net. “We don’t focus on youth or experience, we focus on details,” Payne said. “If you take care Freshman back Tanner Vosvick scored his first career goal to lift the Army Men’s Soccer team to a 1-0 win over Loyola of the details, you give yourself a chance to be Oct. 12 in Baltimore.

Junior running back Terry Baggett rushed for an academy record 304 yards and added four touchdowns as Army rolled past Eastern Michigan, 50-25, Oct. 12 in front of a crowd of more than 36,000 at Michie Stadium. Baggett established career bests in rushing yards and touchdowns, while helping the Black Knights improve to 3-4 on the season. Army amassed 513 yards on the ground as part of its 551 yards of offense. Junior fullback Larry Dixon and junior running back Trenton Turrentine added 69 and 92 yards, respectively, to include a touchdown apiece. Freshman Xavier Moss led the receiving corps with four catches for 30 yards—all from junior signal caller Angel Santiago, who had 38 yards passing and 36 yards rushing. EMU (1-5) cracked the scoring column on its first possession of the game as junior quarterback Tyler Benz marched the Eagles down the field and capped the 76-yard drive with a 17-yard pass to Bronson Hill in the end zone. A botched snap on the extra-point kick attempt was made into a two-point conversion as EMU took an 8-0 lead five minutes into the contest. Baggett notched his first score of the game on Army’s ensuing drive after a series of small gains as the Black Knights made their way downfield.
