WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point men's basketball team led wire-to-wire Sunday afternoon to register their first Patriot League victory of the early season.
Army started hot and never really looked back defeating a strong Loyola team, 66-57.
The Black Knights showcased solid defense in the opening period, holding the Greyhounds to just 19 points on 30.8 percent shooting. Loyola also went 0-for-9 from behind-the-arc in that half. The Greyhounds' 19 points marked Army's best defensive effort in an opening period of play and second best defensive half overall this season.
Army held the game's largest lead at 37-21 early in the second period but Loyola would not go away.
