Air Force women’s basketball was unable to get the shots to fall, Wednesday evening in Boise, Idaho
BOISE, Idaho - Air Force was unable to get shots to fall in Taco Bell Arena, falling to Mountain West front-runners Boise State, 79-48, Wednesday evening, in Boise, Idaho. The Falcons dropped to 6-12 overall with a 2-5 mark in league play while the Broncos improved to 15-2 with a perfect 5-0 mark in MWC play.
Air Force freshman Briana Autrey led the Falcons with 11 points and two assists in her second-straight double-figure scoring performance. Autrey also shot a perfect 3-3 from the free-throw line. Junior forward Kassady Huffman led the team with 10 rebounds, one short of her career-high, while adding five points to the final tally.
Boise State had four scorers in double-figures, led by A'Shanti Coleman's 18 points. The Broncos crashed the boards as they out-rebounded Air Force, 51-33. Both teams had trouble managing the ball as Air Force committed 18 turnovers to the Broncos' 17.
The major difference was shooting- Air Force only knocked down 17 buckets in 61 attempts (27.9%), and only two were three-balls. The Broncos shot 50.7 percent on the game in roughly the same amount of attempts.
The Falcons return to the Academy to host San Jose State, 2 p.m., Sat., Jan. 26, in Clune Arena. Air Force split last season's series with the Spartans, 1-1.
