Army concluded its regular season with a thrilling 27-22 victory over its service academy rival Navy on March 26 in Annapolis, Md. Sophomore Jake Lachina led the offensive charge in the match, scoring a program-record four tries and 20 points.
The Black Knights went 3-1 in the spring, bringing their overall record for the season to 8-4. Other wins in the spring came in the home-opener against Dartmouth and in the final game of the two-game road trip to Utah. Army used a second-half comeback to upset the then fifth-ranked Utes, 29-26.
