Haley Jones had a strong performance, scoring 12 points and collecting five rebounds. Jones shot 5-6 from the field on the game. Snyder, who has the most double-figure scoring games of any freshman, led the fourth-classmen with 15 points. She also added four rebounds to her stat line. Briana Autrey recorded eight points, three assists and three steals.
The Aztecs were led by Mallory Adams with 15 points. Air Force outshot the Aztecs, 48.1 percent to 39.8 percent, and collected two more rebounds, 37-55. Air Force's bench was good for 11 points while the Aztecs' bench produced 20.
