Army holds off Air Force 17-14, 11th straight win at home

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Army is in rarefied air and coach Jeff Monken is impressed. The third wheel in the annual round-robin series with service academy rivals Air Force and Navy -- the Falcons have won the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy 20 times and the Midshipmen 15 -- before Saturday Army had won the coveted hardware, emblematic of supremacy among the three schools, just seven times. Make that eight -- and the first time in consecutive years. Fullback Darnell Woolfolk rushed for 117 yards and a touchdown, Kelvin Hopkins Jr . scored on a 6-yard run, and Army held off rival Air Force 17-14 on Saturday. It was the 11th straight victory at Michie Stadium for Army (7-2), which won the trophy outright last season for the first time since 1996 and will keep possession no matter the outcome of its game against archrival Navy next month.
