ROMANTIC TOUR DELAY
Global superstar Bruno Mars today will be performing for The Romantic Tour at Falcon Stadium on Saturday, September 26. The sold-out show will cause traffic delays at the North and South Gates.
A LOOK AT THE TRAILBLAZERS
The Trailblazers will take pitch under the command of head coach Jonny Broadhead in his 10th season at the helm of the program. Broadhead's Trailblazers qualified for the WAC tournament for the last three seasons and joined the Mountain West with Air Force in 2026.
UT has five goals on the season with five different goal scorers. Seth Powder and Jacob Cinelli lead the offense with five and four shots on goal, respectively. Mitch Williams leads the team with a pair of assists.
In goal, Luca Campoli and Zack Jarvie have four starts each. Jarvie started for UT in their last match, making four saves to tie No. 22 Utah Valley, 1-1. The Trailblazers' only win of the season was against Sacramento State, 1-0, in Utah.
Last time they met, UT outscored the Falcons, 4-0, in St. George. Air Force is 3-3 in the all-time series, winning the first three meetings by shutout.
UP NEXT
Air Force hits the road for a mid-week matchup with UC Davis on Wednesday, September 30, in Davis, California. Action is scheduled for 7pm PT.
LAST TIME OUT
Air Force led UTRGV wire-to-wire in their first win of the 2026 campaign, 3-1, Friday evening at USAFA. The Falcons (1-3-3), scoring a season best three goals, are back in the win column. The Vaqueros (2-2-1) close out a two-match road stint with a pair of losses. Air Force strikes came from Doran Farrell (21'), Logan Zaa (53'), and Quinn Muderlak (76').

GETTING ON THE RIGHT TRACK
The Falcons are in the win column for the first time this season, they sit ahead of UC Davis and Utah Tech in the MW standings. Tucker Kern and Quinn Muderlak are leading the charge with two goals each.
Despite an upsetting loss to UC Riverside, the Falcons scored a transition goal in just the fourth minute via connection from Hunter Anderson to Muderlak. It was the second time AF scored first this season. They went on to hold UCR scoreless until the 71st minute. They doubled the Highlanders on shots taken (15/7), making it the third time they've outshot an opponent this season.
SET PIECE GOALS
Air Force has eight goals this season, the first three originated from a set piece. Sophomore team captain Tucker Kern notched the first goal of the season in a free kick at Army, August 20. At Saint Mary's, the first goal came by way of free kick where C4C Xidane Espinoza chipped a deflected shot to C4C Doran Farrell who headed the ball off crossbar which deflected to Logan Zaa who had his header blocked to freshman teammate Hector Orozco who finished low center for his first collegiate goal. The second strike happened when Menes Ajyeman lined up and took a shot that was deflected by an SMC defender into the possession of Kern who capitalized with a rocket to the right side of the frame from 22 yards out.
