Last season, the Saints won the matchup between the two by a score of 83-67 as Charlie Peterson picked up a double-double and Josh Caldwell led the way with 19 points. They will then travel to Williamsburg, Virginia for matchups against William &amp; Mary (November 19<sup>th</sup>) and Radford (November 20<sup>th</sup>). The Black Knights are 2-2 all-time against the Tribe and have never played Radford. </p><p id="ODpKzp">On Thanksgiving, Army will take the journey from the USA’s old capital to the capital of England, London for two matchups. They will open against a young Princeton Tiger team who won the Ivy League regular season title and then face either Manhattan or Northeastern on November 26<sup>th</sup>. Army is 13-23 all-time against Princeton, 6-11 all-time against Northeastern, and 44-27 all-time against Manhattan.</p><p id="PRvt71">The Black Knights will then take a trip home for a three-game homestand against D3 Merchant Marine Academy (November 30), Wagner (December 3), and NJIT (December 7). Army is 1-0 all-time against their fellow New York academy, beating them by a score of 93-32 in 2020. Wagner finished in second place in the Northeast Conference last season but lose a lot of their team including their head coach, Bashir Mason. The Seahawks won the last matchup by 20 points in 2019. NJIT welcomes in four-star recruit Paul McMillan IV and will look to rebound off a two-game losing streak against the Black Knights.</p><p id="eOgNYs">After that tough three-game stretch, Army will play its biggest buy game of the season at Rhode Island (December 10). The Rams are now led by former Dayton and Indiana head coach, Archie Miller and are coming off a rough 15-16 season. Leading the way are North Carolina transfer Anthony Harris, Seton Hall transfer Brandon Weston, Syracuse transfer Jalen Carey, and Alabama transfer Alex Tchikou.</p><p id="UN6LkA">Army then closes out non-conference play with two games in three days, at Stony Brook (December 18) and at Central Connecticut State (December 20). This will be a tune-up for SBU’s first season in the CAA and struggled last season after it was announced that they had a postseason ban due to switching leagues. Stony Brook is 5-2 against Army all-time. Central Connecticut State struggled in the NEC last season and is 4-7 all-time against Army.</p><p id="xDXm78">The Patriot League schedule is to be released at a later date. </p> </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.againstallenemies.com/2022/7/29/23284405/army-releases-22-23-non-conference-mens-basketball-schedule"/> <id>https://www.againstallenemies.com/2022/7/29/23284405/army-releases-22-23-non-conference-mens-basketball-schedule</id> <author> <name>Nick Lorensen</name> </author> </entry> <entry> <published>2022-07-15T14:02:19-07:00</published> <updated>2022-07-15T14:02:19-07:00</updated> <title>VMI’s Eaton goes yard in Major League Debut</title> <content type="html"> <figure> <img alt="Kansas City Royals v Toronto Blue Jays" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/ZtJvfDLURN2L8uuYK3DpNl5gH8U=/0x244:5610x3984/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/71123242/1241906683.0.jpg" /> <figcaption>Photo by Mark Blinch/Getty Images</figcaption> </figure> <p>Eaton was selected by Kansas City in the 21st round of the 2018 MLB Draft.</p> <p id="6o61bV">After spending parts of four seasons in the minors, former Virginia Military Institute star Nate Eaton made his Major League debut on Thursday.

It’s the first time ever that the game has been played in the state of Massachusetts.</p><p id="wfXB21">Along with the 2023 game, Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk and Army West Point Director of Athletics Mike Buddie announced the locations for the game through 2027. Here’s where the game is headed:</p><ul><li id="ibsVBZ">2023: Foxborough, Mass. | Dec. 9 </li><li id="xfVEDD">2024: Landover, Maryland | Dec. 14</li><li id="IUSkeo">2025: Baltimore, Maryland | Dec. 13</li><li id="ZofttX">2026: East Rutherford, N.J. | Dec. 12</li><li id="wvFbbC">2027: Philadelphia, Pa. | Dec. 11</li></ul><p id="giyrIN">Philadelphia is also set to host this year’s Army-Navy game, set for Dec. 10.</p><p id="luJcIq">Boston is a newcomer to the rotation for the game, but it winning the bid for the 2023 Army-Navy game is notable because it means the game will stay in the northeast corridor of the U.S., where it has traditionally always been played aside for a few outliers. Other cities that bid on the game that would’ve taken it out its traditional footprint included Charlotte, Orlando, Dallas and Chicago.</p><p id="nECtY1">One reason the game has largely stayed in the northeast is because it makes for easy traveling for thousands of cadets and midshipmen. Though, Orlando seemed to be up to the task for paying for travel and lodging for 8,000 of them, as Steve Hogan, CEO of Florida Citrus Sports <a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/orange-county/os-ne-orange-army-navy-bid-20220307-6cuw2w6t4rchbmghd5kxuj6o3a-story.html">said</a>: “That’s why so many communities don’t even attempt to bring this game. We’re bold enough to think Orlando can do it.”</p><p id="ZCBMID">Organizers of the game visited and toured Charlotte and Bank of America Stadium back in April. On Wednesday, Danny Morrison — Executive Director of the Charlotte Sports Foundation — <a href="https://charlotte.axios.com/300494/charlotte-wont-host-the-army-navy-game/">said in a statement</a>: “While we are disappointed the Army-Navy game is not coming to the South, being a finalist reinforces the fact that high-profile college sporting events are important to Charlotte.”</p><p id="IR5V4R">Had the game ventured anywhere south of the Chesapeake Bay or west of the Mississippi River, it would’ve been the first time since 1983 that the game left the northeast — that year, it was played in Pasadena, California. The game was also played in Chicago once, in 1926.</p><p id="nVXXYx">The 2023 game in New England will coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. The 2024 game at Fed Ex Field in Landover marks the 125th playing of the Army-Navy game.</p> </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.againstallenemies.com/2022/6/15/23169932/army-navy-locations-announced-five-years-boston-host-in-2023-mids-football"/> <id>https://www.againstallenemies.com/2022/6/15/23169932/army-navy-locations-announced-five-years-boston-host-in-2023-mids-football</id> <author> <name>Mitchell Northam</name> </author> </entry></feed> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
