Falcons at a Glance:
Hosting the Yotes on Friday, the Falcons look to get on track ahead of the start of Mountain West competition next weekend. Air Force totals a 9-37 record in singles and 9-16 in doubles action.
As a team, Air Force currently sits at 1-9. In their first 10 matches, the Falcons set themselves against a gauntlet of opponents that included four ITA-ranked programs and three conference champions and a national runner-up from the previous season. Air Force's opponents to date combine for an 84-34 record.
In the Rankings:
Abby Cotuna/Sofia Mavor currently rank 64th in the nation as a doubles pairing. Cotuna/Mavor have scored wins in three of their last four doubles sets, including a 6-4 win over Arkansas' Carolina Gomez Alonso/Anet Koskel who currently ranks 22nd in the country.
Scouting the Coyotes:
South Dakota enters Friday's match with momentum at its back following the Coyotes' 4-3 win over Northern Iowa in Sioux Falls, snapping a five-match skid. The Yotes sit at 24-28 in singles and 11-14 in doubles play. As a team, South Dakota finished at 10-9 in dual play last season.
Looking Ahead:
Air Force Women's Tennis is in the midst of a five-match home stand leading into Mountain West play. The Falcons transition into league competition next weekend, playing three matches in four days against Davidson (March 12), Nevada (March 13) and UNLV (March 15).
Installation Access Improvements for Intercollegiate Athletic Events:
Access procedures at the U.S. Air Force Academy continue to affect athletic events. While the installation remains open, anyone without a DoD ID card must obtain a visitor pass to enter the base.
New this year: Passes will now be issued monthly instead of requiring a separate submission for each event. This means ticket holders only need to complete the form once per month to gain access to all events during that time. Ticket holders can request a base pass using the link provided below.
After registering, you will receive a message on our phone to present at the gate when entering the Academy. Fans must also present their game tickets at each venue. All tickets and credentialed attendees can enter through the North or South gate. North gate is recommended for access to athletic fields; while fans are encouraged to use the North and South gates for football games.
Note: When completing the information from the link, please use the information directly from your driver's license (Robert vs. Bob). Your ID must also be REAL ID compliant. Anyone under 18 will not be required to do a QR code.
