Something doesn't seem right here.  It doesn't seem logical that a team
ranked in the 30-40th range (depending on the poll) in Div I has a record
of 23-7-1, yet it also seems strange that their record would be 5-6-1 this
far into the season.  Can someone confirm Army's true overall record?
 
Just an observation from someone scouting UML's next opponent...
 
Go RiverHawks!!
