WATERLOO, Iowa – Air Force Women's Tennis, in its first road test of the 2025 dual season, continued its hot start to the 2025 dual season, as the Falcons took down Northern Iowa, 6-1, on Friday afternoon at UNI's Black Hawk Tennis Center.

The Falcons improve to 4-0 on the season in doubles play, as Air Force picked up wins on lines two and three to secure the opening point of the match. Senior Alexis Odom and Freshman Maya Michalski picked up a 6-0 sweep of UNI's Kim Zizek/Kanyanut Sudsaard to remain undefeated on the season (3-0); Sophomore pair Joselyn Limbago/Giovanna Sanchirico, competing in their first doubles match of the season against Abbie Peterson/Lasya Mylavarapu, secured a 6-2 victory to start the year 1-0.

In singles, Air Force claimed straight-set wins on lines one through five. Odom, facing off with UNI senior Darta Dalecka on line one, picked up a 6-2 first-set win, before securing her point with a 6-4 battle down the second.
