Air Force Women’s Tennis will play against the University of Denver on Feb. 6 at the Denver Tennis Park, with the match scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Mountain Time.
The meeting with Denver is part of a nine-match road stretch for Air Force to open its 2026 dual season. After facing DU, the Falcons are set to play Army in Orlando on Feb. 14 and then Oklahoma and Arkansas in Norman on Feb. 22 before returning home for their first match at the Academy against North Florida on Feb. 27.
Denver enters Friday’s contest as an eleven-time Summit League champion and holds a current record of three wins and no losses in dual matches this season, including a recent victory over Colorado by a score of 4-2 on Feb. 1. The Pioneers have won fifteen out of seventeen singles matches and five out of eight doubles matches so far this year.
Last weekend, Air Force split its results during two matches played in Flagstaff, earning a win over New Mexico State (4-1) but falling to Northern Arizona (5-2). In their win against New Mexico State, Arianna Van Houweling and Shivaani Selvan secured an early doubles victory while Nadia Kojonroj and Yule Kang clinched another close doubles win in their first pairing of the year. In singles competition, Abby Cotuna, Kojonroj, and Kang each recorded straight-set victories that helped seal Air Force’s team triumph.
The Falcons achieved their largest single-season turnaround last year under head coach Taylor Hollander, improving from last place in the previous season to finishing ninth regionally with twelve wins overall and four conference victories. The team also made significant recruiting gains; its incoming class was ranked tenth among mid-major women’s programs nationally by Tennis Recruiting Network—the highest ranking ever for Air Force—and placed ahead of both Navy and Army among service academies.
