Senior Grant Taylor took home the most valuable player award, along with three awards at the team's annual awards ceremony Tuesday night.
In addition to being named MVP, Taylor took home the Lightning Bolt Award for most wins with 24, the most improved player award and the Rich Gugat "Attitude is everything Award." Max Olson took home the Human Performance Lab Falcon Award while Jack McCullers was named the team captain for the 2015-16 season.
The Falcons reached 10 wins for the sixth straight year, including a win over Army West Point and are now 4-1 against the Black Knights. The Falcons had regional wins over Northern Colorado, Weber State and Northern Arizona and set new attendance records at home matches this season. The Falcons had two All-Mountain West Conference players in Grant Taylor (singles and doubles) and Lucas Fumagalli (doubles).
Taylor became the first Air Force player in MW history to earn three all-conference doubles honors and is only the fifth Falcon to earn both singles and doubles recognition in the MW in the same year.
"Grant had a career at Air Force that few players in our history have had," Air Force head coach Dan Oosterhous said. "The improvements he made in four years is remarkable and he has set a high standard for our future players to aspire to achieve."
