LARAMIE, Wyo. - The Air Force women's basketball team dropped a 65-34 Mountain West Conference game at Wyoming Saturday afternoon at the Arena Auditorium. The Falcons dropped to 4-23, 0-14 while the Cowgirls improved to 15-12, 7-7.
Megan McGuffey led Wyoming with 24 points and nine rebounds. McGuffey's 23rd point of the game gave her 1,000 for her career. Wyoming hit 10 three-point baskets in the game and shot 40.7 percent from the floor. Kristen Scheffler added 22 points and six three's for the Cowgirls.
Wyoming jumped out to a 30-17 halftime lead and never looked back. The Cowgirls hit six three's in the first-half while Air Force went 0-for-5 from long distance.
Air Force shot 23.5 percent from the field. Senior Kim Kreke led the Falcons with 10 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. It was Kreke's seventh double-double of the season. Raimee Beck added eight points and Anna Gault had a team-leading two assists.
Air Force played the game short-handed with senior co-captain Brooke Cultra sitting out the game with a strained calf. Cultra had played in 107 consecutive games prior to the Wyoming game. Her status is probable for the UNLV game and will be re-evaluated Monday. Freshman Jamela Satterfield earned her first-career start for the Falcons in place of Cultra.
Air Force returns to action Wednesday, March 4, hosting UNLV. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. MST.
