HOMECOMING
Head coach Chris Gobrecht returns to where her Division I coaching career began 40 years ago. Gobrecht led Cal State Fullerton to an 84-92 (.477) overall record in six seasons, including a trip to the WNIT in her final season with the Titans (1989-90).
LAST GAME
Long Beach State rallied from behind to beat Air Force in overtime, 74-68, Wednesday evening in the Walter Pyramid. The Falcons dropped to 2-9 on the season while the 49ers improved to 4-7.
Despite the heart-breaking loss, three Falcons had career nights. Sophomore forward Riley Snyder led Air Force with a career-high 23 points, her third 20-point performance in the last four games, while also collecting a personal season-high eight rebounds. Snyder knocked down 6-6 attempts from the free throw line, marking the eighth time shooting perfect from the line this season.
Junior co-team captain Kaelin Immel dropped 14 points on the night, surpassing 1,000 career points to become the 16th all-time Falcon to achieve the feat. Immel also added two assists, two rebounds and a steal to her stat line. Freshman teammate Allyah Marlett scored a career-high 10 points and collected six rebounds while leading the team with a 71-percent field goal accuracy (5-7), only missing a pair of shots from beyond the arc.
20-20 VISION
Riley Snyder has registered three 20-point performances in the last four games, highlighted by a career-high 23 points against Long Bach State (Dec. 19). Snyder dropped a pair of game-high 20-point marks against No. 20 Tennessee (Dec. 1) and Wyoming (Dec. 4). Kaelin Immel has the top-two Air Force scoring performances this season, posting a season-high 24 points at Navy and 23 points at Northern Colorado-- both marks were game-highs in their respective meetings. Conroe added the squad's sixth 20-point mark as she dropped 22 against Nevada in the MWC road opener.
IMMEL SETS THE STANDARD
Junior co-team captain Kaelin Immel has seven-straight double-figure scoring marks and nine total on the season. She averages 14.2 PPG this year and is the eighth leading scorer in the MWC.
Following her 14-point performance at LBSU, Immel became the 16th all-time Falcon to achieve 1,000 career points at Air Force. Immel is now the 16th all-time leading scorer in program history and seventh leading scorer in the Division I era.
SNYDER SCORES
Sophomore forward Riley Snyder was the Falcons' leading scorer for the first five games of the season. Through said five games, she averaged a career-high 14.0 PPG.
Following a four-point hiccup against Portland (Nov. 23), Snyder has since regained scoring traction with five-straight double-figure performances, three of which were 20-point games. She has since raised her scoring average to a team-high and career-high 14.5, while notching her ninth double-figure scoring mark of the season along with a career-high mark at LBSU. Her game-high scoring performance against the abundantly tall Lady Vols garnered her Air Force Cadet Athlete of the Week honors for the week of Nov.23. She rolled the momentum into the following game against Wyoming where she dropped another 20 in the conference opener. She is currently the seventh leading scorer in the conference.
TAKE IT IF ITS FREE
Snyder makes her money at the free throw line where she is currently shooting .902 (37-41) this season, highlighted by eight perfect games at the line. She has the second-best free throw shooting-percentage in the MWC.
CONROE'S BIG GAME
Emily Conroe posted Air Force's first double-double of the season, leading the Falcons to a 68-61 comeback victory against Nevada in Mountain West Conference action, Saturday afternoon (Dec. 7) in the Virginia Street Gym. Air Force tallied its first-ever win against Nevada while playing in Reno.
Conroe, a junior co-team captain, had a stellar game as she scored a season-high 22 points and collected 11 rebounds while shooting 43-percent from the field and knocking down 8-8 attempts from the free throw line. Conroe now has four double-figure scoring marks and three double-figure rebounding marks on the season.
