2026 Schedule | 2026 Stats
Lacrosse Head Coach Bill Wilson turned a 2-7 non-conference start to a five-game tear through the conference schedule to earn a share of the 2026 ASUN Regular Season Tittle for the third-straight season. The win streak landed AF a spot in the post season playoffs where they battled to the championship game against top-seeded host Jacksonville. En route to the Championship, the Falcons earned eight ASUN All-Conference honors highlighted by Bill Wilson's second-straight Coach of the Year nod. Two Falcons earned Player of the Week honors on three occasions, and six Falcons earned spots on the leagues' All-Academic team.
Cunningham Tabbed USA Lacrosse All-American
USA Lacrosse revealed its NCAA Division I Men's All-Americans, honoring the top individual performers of the 2026 season. Air Force's Cole Cunningham became the 18th Falcon in program history to earn All-America honors. The Falcons have had an All-American for three years running.
Cunningham was instrumental in leading Air Force to its third-straight share of the ASUN Conference Regular Season title. A 2026 All-ASUN First-Team selection, Cole led the Falcons with 75 ground balls and 25 caused turnovers, ranking fifth in the ASUN in both categories. He picked up a career-best nine ground balls with three CTOs in the upset win against No. 18 Utah, helping Air Force to the regular season title. His 205 career ground balls ties for fifth most in program history while his 54 career caused turnovers ties for seventh. At the conclusion of his playing career at the Academy, Cunningham has earned All-America, ASUN Conference Specialist of the Year, two First-Team ASUN All-Conference honors, two Academic All-Conference honors, CSC Academic All-America honors and two conference Player of the Week honors.
Caelan Driggs Nabs All-Time Goals Record
Senior attacker Caelan Driggs has 140 career goals, the most by any Falcon to play the game, taking the torch from Air Force great Mike Crampton who has 127 from 2011-14. Driggs has 168 career points for the fifth most in the record book.
13 Falcons Earn ASUN Post-Season Honors
Eight Falcons earned All-Conference nods with four making the First Team, one making the Second Team, and three on the All-Freshman team. Six Falcons were named to the All-Academic team.
Senior LSM Cole Cunningham earned his second First Team honor while classmate and co-team captain Caelan Driggs was selected to the First Team as well, one-upping his Second Team selection from last season. Senior midfielder Cole Rassas and junior defenseman Charlie Pyfer round out the First Team selections with their first post season awards.

Schweiger, the second leading scorer on the team, concluded the regular season with 26 goals and 15 assists. Heidt, the fifth-leading scorer, finished with 16 goals and a pair of helps. Gounaris' presence on the defense yielded the freshman 10 caused turnovers and 16 ground balls.
