Tale as old as time. If I were an Army fan, I’d be furious at Alberici for that schedule. From #1 in the country to out of the tournament completely.
It's a tale as old as time, save for last year when the Patriot was a dumpster fire beyond Army this is their MO. Play a below average OOC, play like a top 3 team vs Syacuse, lose multiple conference games and then lose at some point in the Patriot tourney. No shame in losing to a good BU team but to lose twice and with your best offensive squad in years can't even get to the finals of the Patriot tourney or score more then 10 goals?? Brutal.
Alberici did add UNC this season but he needed to look ahead when scheduling. It was clear Rutgers was gonna be down again and UNC was gonna struggle as well. They needed an IVY or a Maryland/PSU type of game. Give him credit for again giving SU all they can handle and I think winning like 3 straight against Cuse but he can't translate that performance to the rest of the season for some reason.
