Army's Palesky plays on

Army junior goalkeeper Tom Palesky has returned and is in the net in the second half of the Black Knights' quarterfinal against No. 7 seed Cornell

Palesky (five saves) appeared to injure his left leg when he attempted to run upfield with the ball as time expired in the second quarter. It looked like his left foot got caught in the turf, and my initial reaction was that he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee. Palesky did get up and limp off under his own power

Had he sat out the second half, sophomore Zach Palmieri – who has played just 12 minutes this season, allowing two goals and making three saves – would have been in the net for Army, which trails the Big Red, 8-3, at halftime.
