The Army Cadets and Navy Midshipmen renewed their respectful rivarly on the lacrosse field this spring.

The two schools went head-to-head at M&T Bank Stadium as part of the “Day of Rivals” event.

The two schools have become part of what is slowly becoming an annual tradition in Baltimore.

The day also features the Maryland Terrapins and Johns Hopkins Blue Jays, which is widely regarded as the oldest rivalry in lacrosse.

Despite the fact that Navy was essentially the home team, Army managed to pull off the one-goal upset.

When Dec. 11 rolls around, the Naval Academy football team will look to continue its possession of the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.

Having beaten rival Army for the past seven years, Navy has positioned itself as the elite football program among the service academies. The Midshipmen went 10-4 last season, beating Missouri in the Texas Bowl to finish with double digits in victories.

The sledding wasn’t as smooth for Army, which went 5-7. Included in that loss tally was a 17-3 loss to Navy on Dec. 12 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, the third year in a row the Army offense hasn’t reached the end zone against Navy.

Army mustered just 187 yards of total offense. Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs eclipsed that total by himself, rushing for 133 yards on 33 carries and passing for 61 yards. Dobbs rushed for a touchdown and passed for a score.

This year’s Army/Navy game returns to Lincoln Financial Field. Navy opens the season Sept. 6 against Maryland in Baltimore. Army begins its 2010 slate at Eastern Michigan on Sept. 4.

Army v. Navy to Decide Army’s Bowl Fate

It all comes down to Saturday for Army.

Win their annual matchup against the Navy Midshipmen on Saturday in Philadelphia, and Army advances to the EagleBank Bowl on Dec. 29 against Temple.

Army is currently 5-6 and needs one more win to become bowl eligible.

If they lose to Navy, then UCLA would advance to play Temple in the EagleBank Bowl, and Army would be left completely out of the bowl picture this year.

With so much to play for, one would have to imagine Army coming out a little extra fired up on Saturday, dreaming of a bowl berth in Washington, D.C. with one more victory.
