U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – Air Force men's and women's Tennis turns its sights toward Washington D.C., as the Falcons prepare to take on the Commander-In-Chief's Challenge, set for Friday through Sunday at the prestigious Army and Navy Club.
The event will be conducted in a round-robin, mock dual format, featuring doubles and singles matches between all three service academies. Each team will face off with one another, with each match viewed as an individual event. Singles will be carried out best two of three sets with a super tiebreaker in the third to accommodate for time constraints; Doubles will be a single set with a 6-6 tiebreaker.
The Falcon men opened 2024-25 at the Dar Walters Classic, hosted by Boise State (Sept. 13-15). Air Force, with four competitors in play (Kyle Garner, Matthew Staton, Langdon Tingleaf, Luke Wolf,), accrued a handful of victories and aims to build on those successes this weekend in D.C.
With the team split over the weekend due to prior commitments, the Navy men's roster will be rounded out with members from the Georgetown men's program.
