Russell Payne is in his eighth season as the Head Men’s Soccer Coach at Army West Point and is looking forward to the opportunity for his squad to square up, man to man, with their arch-rivals from the U.S. Naval Academy. On Sunday, October 15, the Cadets of Army West Point and the Midshipmen of Navy, will compete in one of the premier collegiate soccer events in the nation-- Army-Navy Cup VI at Talen Energy Stadium.
“We’re lucky enough to play in a championship level game, championship environment every year during the regular season,” said Payne. “You can’t understate playing in front of 10 or 11 thousand fans in Division I college soccer because pretty much nobody gets the chance to do that.
