Air Force Loses Two in California
 The Falcons lost their first two league games and was unable to find the back of the net on the road last weekend. On Friday, Sacramento State defeated Air Force, 2-0, despite AFA outshooting the Hornets, 15-14. San Jose State then downed the Falcons, 1-0, on Sunday with a goal just 6:25 into the match.

 Air Force is happy to be playing at Cadet Soccer Stadium this weekend. The Falcons are 3-0-1 at home this season and have outscored their opponents 11-4. Conversely, they are 0-5 on the road and have been outscored 10-2. Three of AFA's final five games are at home.

Almost Double From A Year Ago
