    AFA Drops 1-0 Decision to Denver
    Air Force was shut out for the fourth straight game last Saturday, falling to MPSF champion Denver, 1-0. Junior goalie Jim Gullo made six saves for Air Force, which attempted just 10 total shots and only four on goal.

    Goals Hard to Come By
    The Falcons have been shut out for four consecutive games for the second time this season. Air Force has not reached the back of the net since junior Kevin Rosser scored with just under 20 minutes remaining against Sacramento State on Oct. 17. The scoreless streak is currently at 379 minutes of game time.

    Gullo Still in National Stats
    Junior goalie Jim Gullo is ranked 29th in the country in saves per game at 5.0. He made six saves against Denver last Saturday. Gullo currently leads the MPSF with 80 saves.

    Freshmen Getting Good Time
    Air Force head coach Doug Hill has seen a youth movement this season. Hill has played nine freshmen at different times this season. Of the eight players that have points this year, three are freshmen.
