Air Force Academy athletic teams have participated in several recent competitions involving water polo and soccer.

In early September, the Air Force men’s water polo team competed in the Navy Open tournament at the United States Naval Academy. The Falcons finished the tournament with a 3-1 record, highlighted by a 19-18 double-overtime victory against George Washington University.

Later in the month, the Air Force women’s soccer team secured a 3-1 victory over UC Davis in their Mountain West Conference opener. However, the men’s water polo team suffered a 14-13 loss to #18 Navy during a contest for the Freedom Vase, failing to overcome a scoring drought despite a late rally.
