Big Weekend as Air Force Sweeps Pair at Home
Last weekend, the Falcons swept a pair of games at Cadet Soccer Stadium for the first time this season.

Tilton scored his first of the season in the season just 11 minutes into the game by heading in a corner kick from sophomore Zane Dydasco. Henry added an insurance goal with 2:31 remaining and sophomore goalie Matt Underwood made four saves in earning his second career shutout.
On Sunday, Air Force trailed 1-0 at halftime to Sacramento State but completed a furious second half rally when sophomore Kevin Durr scored his fourth game-winning goal of the season with 15 minutes left to give the Falcons a 2-1 victory. Senior Kyle Moses, playing his final game at Cadet Soccer Stadium, evened the game at 1-all with his third goal of the season in the 56th minute. Underwood, who replaced senior Patrick Gould at halftime, made two saves to post his sixth win.
