HISTORY 101
Air Force has only faced one of this weekend's opponent before, holding a 0-1 mark against UT Arlington after dropping a 0-3 contest to the Mavs in Denver during the 2015 season. The Falcons' match with UTA will mark the first time this season that Air Force has faced a previous opponent.
SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS
This weekend's opponents are a combined 2-7 after the opening weekend of play. Loyola Maryland went 2-1 in its home tournament, defeating Sienna and Towson by 3-1 margins and dropping a 1-3 match to Radford. UT Arlington and Binghamton both went 0-3 on the road, with UTA falling to Arizona State (1-3), New Mexico State (0-3) and Pacific (2-3) and Binghamton dropping matches to Cleveland State (1-3), Canisius (1-3) and Montana State (0-3).
SSOZI AND MIKSCH NAMED TO THE ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM
Abigail Miksch and Denise Ssozi were named to the all-tournament team of the Spartan-Demon Deacon Classic on Aug. 25. It is the fourth all-tournament selection for Miksch and the third for Ssozi.
WHAT A WEEKEND!
The Falcons had a milestone day on Aug. 25, recording the program's first victories over schools from the Atlantic Coast (Wake Forest, 3-1) and Big 10 (Maryland, 3-2) conferences. In addition, the two wins brought Air Force's total number of Division I wins over programs from Power 5 conferences to three (California, 2015).
WHAT'S ON DECK
It's a quick turnaround for the Falcons, who open their home season on Monday, Sept. 3, when they host McNeese State at the Academy's Cadet West Gym at 1:00 p.m. (MT). The match kicks off an 11-match homestand for the Falcons that includes the annual Amy Svoboda Memorial Classic on Sept. 6-8.
