GAME EIGHT: AIR FORCE (1-6) at #20/25 TENNESSEE (6-0)
WHEN: Sunday (Dec. 1) at 2 p.m. ET/ 12 MT
WHERE: Thompson-Boling Arena - Knoxville, Tenn.
Air Force closes out its holiday road stint at undefeated No. 20/25 Tennessee on Sunday (Dec. 1), in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Falcons will be meeting the Lady Volunteers in the first-ever meeting between the programs.
NEXT UP
The Falcons return to the Academy to host Wyoming in the Mountain West Conference opener, Wednesday (Dec. 4) at 6:30 p.m. in Clune Arena, USAFA. Following Wednesday's contest, the Falcons take flight for another three-game road stint.
LAST GAME
Air Force dropped a 67-59 contest to Navy, Wednesday evening (Nov. 27) in Alumni Hall on the campus of the United States Naval Academy. The Falcons, now 1-6 on the season, were led by junior co-team captain Kaelin Immel who scored a season-high 24 points on the night. The Mids ended their three-game losing streak, improving to 3-3 on the season. Immel, who has led the Falcons in scoring for three-straight games, left it all on the court, snagging six rebounds and dishing three assists while shooting 9-17 from the field in her attempt to rally the Falcons to victory.
IMMEL SETS THE STANDARD
Junior co-team captain Kaelin Immel scored a season-high 24 points in the loss at Navy, besting her previous season-high mark of 23 points, set last week at Northern Colorado (Nov. 7). Immel has two 20-point performances and five double-figure scoring marks on the season. She averages 14.9 PPG this season and has led the squad in scoring in the last three games. Immel continues to climb the all-time career points ladder with 952 points scored to date, a mark that puts her ninth in the Div. I era and 20th in the all-time record book. Immel is on track to become the 16th all-time Falcon to achieve 1,000 career points.
SNYDER SCORES
Sophomore forward Riley Snyder was the Falcons' leading scorer for the first five games of the season. Through said first five games, she averaged 14.0 PPG, but a stale four-point performance against Portland dropped her scoring average to 12.3. Snyder regained scoring traction at Navy, dropping 12 points for her sixth double-figure scoring mark of the season. The native of Fruita, Colorado, has led Air Force in scoring in three games this season, scoring a season-high 19 against NJIT (Nov. 8), 13 against Army (Nov. 13) and 18 against San Diego (Nov. 16). Snyder makes her money at the free throw line where she is currently shooting .913 (21-23) this season, highlighted by five perfect games at the line. She has the third-best free throw shooting-percentage in the MWC.
CRASHING BOARDS
Air Force collects 43.6 RPG as a team, the most on average by any MWC team. Emily Conroe is the fifth leading rebounder in the league (7.57 RPG) while Haley Jones is at sixth (7.29 RPG). Conroe is fifth in the league in both defensive rebounds (4.86 DRPG) and offensive rebounds (2.71 ORPG). Jones is second in the league in offensive rebounds (4.14 ORPG) while sitting at fifth in the league with eight blocks (1.14 BPG).
