    The Air Force men’s tennis team defeated former Falcons, 10-4, Saturday in the program’s annual Alumni Match. Ten former players returned to the Academy for the match, as did legendary former head coach Rich Gugat, who was the honorary coach for the alumni team.

    "We had a great time and it's a wonderful way for our current players to connect to those that came before them,” said head coach Dan Oosterhous. “I think our guys learned a lot about life after the Academy and that these old guys can still play tennis.”

    Here is the list of alumni and the year of graduation that played on Saturday:
    Chet Bryant (1998)
    Tom DeAngelis (2000)
    Dietz Fry (2000)
