A senior from Spokane, Wash., Buck won all six of his matches last week. He was 3-0 at No. 1 singles, winning all three matches in straight sets. He defeated Idaho State's Marc Pijoan (7-5, 6-2) to lead the Falcons to a 4-3 victory over the Bengals. The 15th-ranked player in NCAA Division I, Buck also defeated Northern Arizona's Gareth Ducray (6-0, 6-1) and South Dakota State's Zack Lunak (6-0, 6-0). In No. 1 doubles, Buck teamed with Trevor Johnson and Grant Keaton to post a 3-0 mark last week as the Falcons improved to 4-2 on the year. Buck is 16-4 overall in singles play and ranks first all-time at Air Force for singles win percentage in dual matches at 70-6 (92.1 percent). The Falcons, 4-2 this season, are back in action on Sunday, Feb. 19, when they play Nebraska and Creighton in Lincoln, Neb.
