- 2025 Mountain West Men's Tennis Coach of the Year
Evan Urbina enters this third year as head coach for Air Force men’s tennis and 12th overall with the program in 2025-26. He was promoted to head coach on July 19, 2023 after serving as the assistant coach at the Academy for the previous nine seasons 2014-2023.
In just his second season as head coach in 2024-25, Urbina quickly made his mark on the program. The Falcons posted 11 wins on the season, nearly doubling the total from the previous season. The Falcons earned a pair of Mountain West wins, doing so for just the fourth time in the MW history. One of the wins was over #65 New Mexico, snapping a 25-match losing streak to the Lobos, which dated back 20 years to 2005. It was also Air Force's first win over a ranked opponent since 2013.
