    Air Force junior Shannon Buck will play Josh Cohen of the University of Miami on Wednesday, May 25 in the first round of the 2005 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Singles Championships, the NCAA announced today. Buck and Cohen, a sophomore, will face off at 12:30 p.m. (CT) at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center on the campus of Texas A&M in College Station, Texas.

    The winner of that match will face the winner of the match featuring the No. 2 seed, Sam Warburg of Stanford, and Izak van der Merwe of Old Dominion in the second round of the 64-player, single-elimination tournament on Thursday, May 26.

He defeated all five MWC opponents he faced and enters the tournament with a 17-match winning streak. Buck is the first Air Force player to participate in two separate NCAA Singles Championships. He lost in the first round two years ago as a freshman.
