Main Story

Army volleyball closes its three-match road trip with games against American on Friday in Washington, D.C., and Loyola Maryland on Saturday in Baltimore. The Black Knights are looking to rebound from a close loss to Navy and build on their earlier win over Loyola.

By the Numbers
  • Army: 10-8 overall, 4-5 in Patriot League play.
  • American: 14-4 overall, 9-0 in the league; Loyola Maryland: 7-11 overall, 5-4 in the league.
  • Army ranks 13th nationally in digs per set (16.65) and 37th in service aces per set (1.86).
  • Army leads its series with Loyola, 20-8; American leads its series with Army, 49-13.
Yes, But

American has won seven straight meetings with Army, including a 3-0 victory in September. Army, however, beat Loyola 3-1 in the teams’ Patriot League opener and has won four straight in that series.

What’s Next

Army visits American Friday, Oct. 23, at 6 p.m. ET, then faces Loyola Maryland Saturday, Oct. 24, at 4 p.m. ET. Both matches will stream on ESPN+.

Bottom Line

The weekend offers Army two different tests: a chance to snap its losing streak against unbeaten-in-league American, and an opportunity to extend its recent success against Loyola.
