Last Time Out:
In a two-stop trip in Texas to open the 2026 dual season, Air Force fell, 6-1 at SMU, then bumped into No. 2 Texas A&M, falling 7-0 to the Aggies in College Station.
Last Time with the Buffs:
Air Force, opening its 2025 season at home against Colorado, pushed its Big 12 neighbors to the brink but fell, 4-3. In the match, Air Force claimed the doubles point behind set wins for Shivaani Selvan/Sofia Mavor and Nadia Kojonroj/Arianna Van Houweling.
An Historic Turnaround:
The Falcons underwent their largest single-season turnaround in the program's history in 2025, closing the year ranked ninth in the final ITA Mountain Region rankings. In the second season of head coach Taylor Hollander's tenure, Air Force improved from a last-place finish in 2023-24 to going 12-14 and 4-6 against Mountain West opponents. The Falcons ended their season as the seven-seed in the 2025 Mountain West Championship, shutting out New Mexico in the opening round and scoring a 4-1 win over No. 69, two-seeded Nevada – A win representing Air Force's highest-seeded postseason victory since 2017.
A Rising Standard:
In the wake of Air Force's rapid ascent in 2025, head coach Taylor Hollander amassed one of the programs' best-ever collection of recruits. The Air Force Women's Tennis Class of 2029 ranked 10th overall on Tennis Recruiting Network's 2025 Top Mid-Major Women's Classes – The Falcons' highest-ever ranking on the platform. The No. 10 spot placet the Falcons in front of both fellow service academies, falling one spot ahead of Navy (11th) and 14 ahead of Army (24th). Air Force was the lone Mountain West program to crack the list in 2025.
In fall competition, Air Force freshmen (Jariahlyn Rhoades, Yule Kang, Alba Martinez) combined to finish 16-10 and 16-13 in open singles and doubles, respectively.
The Cotuna Comeback:
Senior Abby Cotuna, who competed for Air Force as a freshman in 2023, returned to the Falcon roster for one final season ahead of 2024-25. In her inaugural season, Cotuna was a three-time Mountain West Freshman of the Week, combining for a 21-6 doubles record and a 16-8 mark in singles. The now-senior amassed a 4-1 record in the 2023 Mountain West Championship, including a 3-0 run in singles competition, spearheading Air Force's run to its first-ever runner-up finish in postseason play.
On the heels of a 14-day tryout taking place just days ahead of Air Force's 2024-25 debut, Cotuna made a rapid return to the Falcon lineup in time to represent the Academy at the ITA Bedford Cup in the Mountains. Cotuna, competing in the Charlie singles bracket, finished 4-0 with a title in hand.
A Worthy Challenge of Aspiring Falcons:
Five matches against opponents who comprised the 64-team field of the 2025 NCAA DI Women's Tennis Championship headline a stacked spring schedule for the Falcons. Included in the gauntlet are one national runner-up (Texas A&M), three conference champions (Boise State, Denver, Grand Canyon) and six opponents who were named to the final ITA national rankings in 2025 (Texas A&M, Oklahoma, San Diego State, SMU, Boise State, Nevada).
