    The Air Force women's tennis team looks to improve on its best start since 1992 with a pair of matches in Hawaii on Saturday, March 20. The Falcons, 13-3 this season, will play at the University of Hawaii at 9 a.m., followed by a match at Hawaii-Pacific at 3 p.m.

    Air Force, currently tied for 10th in the latest Mountain Region rankings, had a six-match winning streak snapped on March 7 with a 4-3 loss to Samford. Despite the loss, the Falcons have posted the most wins in one season since the 2003-04 campaign.

    Individually, Air Force already has three players with at least 20 overall singles victories. Freshman Christine Molina leads the way with 22, while sophomore Sarah Cassman and freshman Melissa Cecil each have 20. Molina has won seven consecutive matches, while Cecil has won five straight.

    In doubles play, Molina and junior Christen Monreal are 11-3 this spring, including a 10-3 mark at the No. 3 position, while Cecil and fellow frosh Hannah Dake are 10-4 at the No. 1 doubles spot.
