    USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Three tournaments and eight Mountain West Conference matches highlight the home portion of the 2008 Air Force volleyball schedule, which was released today by the athletic department. The Falcons, who will play 29 contests during the regular season, will host 19 different teams at the Academy's Clune Arena. Of the Falcons' 13 non-conference opponents, it will be Air Force's first meeting with 10 of the programs.

    The season begins with home tournaments during each of the first three weekends. The Falcons open the 2008 season on Sunday, Aug. 31, with a late weekend tournament. The Falcons will play Kennesaw State and Southern Mississippi on Sunday, before closing out the weekend with Buffalo on Monday. The Falcons' second tournament will take place on Sept. 5-6. Air Force will take on Akron and Montana State on Friday, before facing UC-Davis and North Carolina State on Saturday. Air Force will close out the tournament season on Sept. 12-13 hosting Kent State, Florida Atlantic, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and North Carolina Central.

    The Falcons finally leave the Academy on Sept. 25-27, when they travel to Utah for a pair of matches against perennial conference powerhouses, Utah (Sept. 25 in Salt Lake City) and BYU (Sept. 27 in Provo).
