Friday night's Temple at Army football game will be streamed live on the internet via the Army Knowledge Online (AKO) web site as the Black Knights kick off their 119th season at illustrious Michie Stadium. Now in its fourth season, a cooperative effort between ESPN and the Department of the Army will provide a video stream of ESPN's telecasts of Army's six home football games this fall.

The Army men's cross country team was picked to finish third in the Patriot League, receiving two first-place votes, in the 2008 preseason coaches' poll released on Friday.  The women's squad was picked to finish fourth in the conference.

With the departure of 10 seniors from last year's squad that posted the program's best record in 11 years, seventh year head coach Kurt Swanbeck will count on a host of new faces to mesh with his core group of returners to lead the Black Knights this year.

The Black Knights will look to build upon last season's success of finishing third at the EIWA Championships and qualifying six wrestlers for the NCAA Championships after compiling a 12-6 dual meet mark.

The Army volleyball kicks off the 2008 season in high gear, hosting Manhattan at 10 a.m. and Wagner at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The matches will be played within the friendly confines of Gillis Field House, where the team went 14-1 last fall.
