Two members of the 2010-11 Air Force women's tennis team, Sarah Cassman and Megumi Voight, have been named to the 2011 Academic All-Mountain West team. To be eligible for selection, student-athletes must have completed at least one academic term at the member institution while maintaining a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better, and be a starter or significant contributor on their athletic team. This is the fourth academic all-conference honor for Cassman and the first for Voight.

Cassman, who graduated last month, led the team with 21 overall singles victories, becoming the first Falcon player in the Division I era (since 1996) to win at least 20 singles matches in each of her four seasons. She left the program ranked No. 1 on the school's career list with 88 career singles wins in the Division I era. She is also tied for No. 2 with 57 career dual match singles wins. Cassman played the majority of the 2011 season at the No. 4 singles position, posting a 10-8 record, and paired with sophomore Hannah Dake for a 15-6 record in doubles. She also won the 2011 Arthur Ashe Jr. Leadership and Sportsmanship Award for the Mountain Region. Cassman graduated with a 3.31 cumulative GPA in environmental engineering.

Voight, meanwhile, won 17 singles and 14 doubles matches during her junior season. She played all of her 19 dual matches at the No. 6 singles spot. In addition, she was 6-3 at the No. 3 spot in dual doubles matches. Voight has a 3.30 cumulative GPA and is majoring in foreign area studies.
