The Army West Point women's lacrosse team achieved a program-best seven All-Patriot League selections this week, highlighted by Brigid Duffy being named Midfielder of the Year and Allison Reilly earning Attacker of the Year honors. The Black Knights also celebrated their coaching staff, which received the Coaching Staff of the Year award. Duffy and Reilly were joined on the First Team by Sarah Chernik and Lily Valentini, while Meghan Pedrani, Lindsey Serafine, and Ryan Remaly earned Second Team recognition. Meanwhile, the men's lacrosse team saw Evan Plunkett named Offensive Player of the Year, John Sullivan as Defensive Player of the Year, and Sean Byrne as Goalkeeper of the Year, with four players earning First Team All-Patriot League honors.

In baseball, the Black Knights completed a dramatic sweep over Lafayette, highlighted by Josiah Overbeek's walk-off home run in the second game of a doubleheader on April 27. After rallying from a 5-0 deficit, Army secured a 10-9 victory, with Overbeek contributing both as a pitcher and a hitter. Earlier in the week, Army also finished its regular season home slate with a 7-0 shutout against LIU, showcasing strong performances from pitchers Sean Newton and Max Donecea. Overbeek's outstanding week earned him both Patriot League Player and Rookie of the Week honors.

The Army West Point golf team wrapped up its season with a fourth-place finish at the Patriot League Championships, where seniors Rob Ferris and Tyson Sparks both tied for seventh place. The team shot a total of 871 (+31) over three rounds, with Ferris concluding his collegiate career with a strong final round. The track and field teams also shone this week, as Charlotte Richman, Collin Torres, and Todd Worth received weekly honors following their performances at the Penn Relays, with Richman setting a new program record in the 5000m.

As the week concluded, Army West Point Athletics announced the hiring of Katy DeMarco as the new Chief Financial Officer and Senior Associate Athletics Director, effective mid-May, marking a significant addition to the department's leadership.
