    Air Force's top men's doubles team of senior Tyler McClung and junior Shannon Buck won their third straight qualifying match and have advanced to the 32-team main draw at the 2004 Icy Hot/ITA Men's All-American Championships in Chattanooga, Tenn. McClung and Buck defeated Andy Formanczyk and Cameron Marshall of Michigan State, 8-4, on Wednesday.

    "Tyler and Shannon are playing excellent tennis right now," said Air Force head coach Rich Gugat. "Their serving and returning has been top notch the past few days. They only missed a few first serves in today's match."

    The 32-team main draw brackets will be announced later this evening, and will begin on Thursday. Buck, the 51st-ranked singles player in the country, opens the singles main draw on Thursday as well.
