Samantha Villa defeated Ella St. Louis at 123 pounds Friday night to close the Air Force–Army boxing dual at West Point, New York. Army won nine of the 12 bouts, according to Air Force.

Mohammad Khaliq and Jinwon Choi won the Falcons’ other bouts. Khaliq took a 150-pound decision over Mariano Escoberdo to earn the event’s outstanding boxer award. Choi earned a decision over Isaiah Garcia at 172 pounds in his first dual against a service academy.

Five of Air Force’s nine losses came by split decision. The dual took place at the U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School as part of the weekend around Saturday’s Army–Air Force football game.

Both academies are scheduled to send boxers to the Collegiate Military Boxing Classic in New York on Nov. 14, a 12-bout card featuring six schools.
