Falcons Win Two on Saturday

Jan. 22, 2012

The Air Force men's tennis team opened its 2012 spring schedule with a pair of 7-0 victories Saturday at the Academy over Northern Colorado and CSU-Pueblo. The Falcons swept all 12 singles matches and won five of the six doubles contests.

In the morning match against UNC, Air Force won at Nos. 2 and 3 doubles to clinch the doubles point, then won five of the six singles matches in straight sets. Air Force then downed CSU-Pueblo in the afternoon, sweeping all six singles matches in straight sets.

"This was a solid start to the season for our team," said Air Force head coach Dan Oosterhous. "Our guys did a good job keeping their focus and energy high during the long day on the court.  We'll build on this for our tough road matches next weekend in Wichita."

The Falcons will face Texas-San Antonio on Saturday, Jan. 28 and Wichita State on Sunday, Jan. 29.
