The Falcons were tough at home this season, going 8-2 in matches at the Academy.

Prior to the match, Air Force honored its senior class of 2025. Kyle Garner, Arjun Kersten and Luke Wolf were honored for their four-years with the program.

Head coach Evan Urbina recapping the match:
"Senior Day was special for this team. The guys competed well from start to finish, and we had everyone working their way into matches today. I'm thrilled for Kyle, Arjun, and Luke to get a win in their last home match. I'm proud of AJ to get the win and clinch today after a heartbreaker on Friday. That's what this team is all about: keep going no matter what. We'll bring that toughness into next week on the road. Go Falcons!"
