After returning to the northeast last week, Siena (4-15, 0-3 MAAC) will look to break off a five-game losing skid, which included a three-game weekend sweep at defending conference champion and 2019 preseason co-favorite Canisius by a total margin of just four runs. The Saints' last seven games overall have been decided by two runs or less, with the team splitting an abbreviated two-game weekend affair at Bowling Green March 16-17. Siena captured games in two of its first three weekend series on the year, Shocking 2018 NCAA Super Regional participant Stetson in a 2-1 series victory February 23-25 and overcoming Florida Gulf Coast in the first game of a doubleheader on March 2.

Heading back out on the road after wrapping a six-game homestand, Army West Point (12-11, 2-2 Patriot League) Split a pair of doubleheaders against conference foes Bucknell and Navy last weekend. The Black Knights began their 2019 campaign by playing contests in Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia and Louisiana, most notably falling a run short of upsetting then #2/#1 LSU in Baton Rouge. The 2018 Patriot League Champions and NCAA Regional participants were picked to win their conference again this season in the 2019 Patriot League Preseason Poll. The team boasted a league-best six Preseason All-Conference selections, which included pitchers Tyler Giovinco, Daniel Burggraaf and Cam Opp, first baseman John McKenna, third baseman Anthony Giachin and outfielder Jacob Hurtubise. Giachin stands as the team's only weekly honoree thus far, having earned Patriot League Player of the week on Feb. 19.

Sporting a program-record 18 freshman and 22 total underclassmen, the Saints enter the contest with the second-best fielding percentage in the MAAC (.969) under head coach Tony Rossi, who is in the midst of his NCAA Division I record 50th season at the helm of the team. The Green and Gold have also had one player pick of a weekly accolade, with freshman pitcher Ben Seiler being named the MAAC Rookie of the Week on March 12. Additionally, senior pitcher Tommy Miller was recently selected as a candidate for the 2019 baseball Senior CLASS Award, becoming just the second player in program history in the 21st Saint overall to do so.

Overall, the Black Knights hold a 6-13 advantage in the all-time series, which dates back to 1958. Army West Point has taken the last two mid-week editions of the series, including a 9-6 decision on March 28, 2018 in West Point.

Following the tilt, Siena will return MAAC action, taking to the road for a three-game weekend series at Rider in Lawrenceville, NJ.
