2011 Season in Review Army (7-10-1, 2-4-1 PL) finished the 2011 campaign with its highest win total since the 2007 squad posted nine wins. The seven wins recorded by the Black Knights equaled the number of victories accumulated by the program over the previous three seasons combined. Army’s two Patriot League victories were the most since the 2006 team recorded three conference wins. Army’s 2-1 victory over Holy Cross in the Patriot League opener on September 24 halted a 14-game winless streak in conference matches. Two of the Black Knights’ three league setbacks were one-goal decisions, including a 3-2 overtime heartbreaker at preseason favorite Colgate. Jeff Pickett and Josh Koeppe were named to the 2011 All-Patriot League second team, giving the Black Knights two all-conference selections for the first time since Daniel Newell and John Borland were placed on the second unit in 2006. Pickett, who was the stabilizing force along the Black Knights' back line throughout the course of the season, earned second-team laurels for the second consecutive season. He became the first Army men’s soccer player to take home all-conference honors in back-to-back years since Newell in 2006 and 2007. Pickett was part of an Army defense that limited the opposition to 1.61 goals per game and recorded three shutouts. A constant contributor on the Black Knights’ set pieces, Pickett scored his lone goal on a header off a corner kick in Army's season opener versus Marist. After not recording a point over his first two years at the Academy, Koeppe burst onto the scene offensively this past year. The third-year performer from Plano, Texas, led Army and ranked among the Patriot League leaders in goals (four), points (10), shots (40) and shots on goal (16). Koeppe, who also listed among Army’s leaders with two assists and two game-winning goals, scored the game winner in Army’s 1-0 victory over Manhattan on Aug. 29. He added his second game-winning tally of the season in the Black Knights’ 2-1 triumph over Holy Cross in the Patriot League opener. Additionally, Tanner Robertson and Mitch Johnson were selected to the Patriot League’s All-Academic Team for the second straight season. Both players excelled on the field and in the classroom. Four different Black Knight earned Patriot League weekly awards with Winston Boldt (goalie of the week), John Marinelli (goalie of the week), Devin Perlee (rookie of the week) and Trent Brown (player of the week) earning various honors throughout the season. It marked the most weekly honors won by Army in a single season since 1996 when the Black Knights took home five weekly awards.
