Air Force at a Glance:
Air Force, sitting at 1-6, has undertaken a monumental challenge to open its 2026 dual season. The Falcons opened on a three-match, Power Four road trip which included a stop at national runner-up, No. 2 Texas A&M. Thereafter, the Falcons split results on a two-match stop in Flagstaff, Ariz., downing New Mexico State (4-1) before dropping a 5-2 decision to host NAU. Last weekend, Air Force fell in 5-2 to Army (10-2) at College MatchDay in Orlando, falling to West Point in a trio of three-set matches.
As a team, Air Force currently sits at 8-25 in singles play and 5-13 in doubles.
On Wednesday, senior Abby Cotuna of was named Mountain West Player of the Week..
Against Army on Feb. 14, Cotuna picked up a pair of wins in both stages of competition. In doubles, Cotuna/Sofia Mavor scored their first win of the spring season in a shutout doubles set, downing 9-0 Army duo Olivia Mellynchuk/Emily Ruckno. Cotuna's collective performances shined through in a 4-2 loss to West Point at College MatchDay in Orlando.
In singles play, Cotuna defeated Army's Madison Smith, 6-4, 6-3, to pick up her second win of the season while snapping a six-match win streak for the West Point junior.
Cotuna continues to show out in her return campaign, now sitting at 6-3 as a singles competitor for the 2025-26 season. On the heels of a 14-day tryout taking place just days ahead of Air Force's 2025-26 fall 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 with an unblemished 4-0 record in the Falcons' home tournament with a singles title in hand.
In her freshman 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.
Looking Ahead:
Air Force Women's Tennis makes its spring debut at home facing North Florida on Friday, Feb. 27 at 10 a.m. MT in Cadet East Gym.
