    The Air Force men's tennis team dropped its final home match of the 2008-09 campaign Saturday evening, falling 6-1 to the University of Montana at the Academy. The Falcons fell to 7-14 this season, while the Grizzlies improved to 7-6.

    Montana took an early 1-0 lead by sweeping the three doubles matches. The best match was at the No. 2 position, where UM's duo of Felipe Raw and Raydner Ramos defeated Air Force junior Brett Rodgers and sophomore Taylor Soster, 9-8, winning the tie-break 7-5.

    Air Force freshman Cody Hall was the lone Falcon winner on Saturday, capturing the No. 2 match with a 6-3, 7-5 victory over Mikolaj Borkowski. Montana won the other five singles matches in straight sets.
