Projection: need to automatically qualify

Army’s résumé is defined by a handful of gritty wins — a road victory at UMBC, an away triumph at Fairleigh Dickinson, and a close home result against Manhattan — that show the program can find ways to win in different settings. Those bright spots are offset by multiple heavy defeats, most notably a crushing loss to Duke and lopsided setbacks at St Thomas Minnesota, Harvard, Cornell and Marist as well as a home loss to George Washington, which leave the nonconference body of work thin on quality wins. With limited résumé-enhancing victories and inconsistent success away from campus, the clearest path forward runs through the Patriot League schedule, where beating Colgate on the road and claiming wins at Bucknell and Navy would change the narrative. Home opportunities against Lehigh, Holy Cross and Lafayette offer chances to build momentum, but failing to turn those games into signature wins will make postseason hopes hinge on conference tournament results.
