Women’s Hoops Falls at San Jose State, 73-60

A stale second quarter slowed the Air Force women’s basketball team down in the Saturday afternoon contest
SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Air Force women's basketball team dropped a 73-60 Mountain West contest to the San Jose State Spartans, Saturday afternoon, at the Event Center at San Jose State University. The Falcons drop to 8-18 on the season with a 4-11 mark in league play. The Spartans (4-21, 3-11 MWC) are now on a two-game winning streak.
Four Falcons had double-figure scoring marks but it was turnovers and the absence of the Falcons' bench that proved to be the difference. The Falcons committed 26 turnovers allowing San Jose state to score 29 points off of turnovers. The Spartans' bench combined for 20 points while Air Force's was scoreless.
Sophomore co-team captain Kaelin Immel led the Falcons with a 16 point performance, adding five rebounds and five assists to her stat line. She has had 12 double-figure scoring performances in 15 league games.
Freshman guard Haley Jones had a career night, dropping a personal-best 15 points while collecting a game-high nine rebounds. She hit five-of-six attempts from the field and five-of-seven from the free throw line. Freshman teammate Riley Snyder scored 13 points for her first double-figure scoring performance since her ankle injury, Feb. 2.
Sophomore guard Emily Conore had another solid performance, scoring 14 points and snagging five boards for her fourth-straight double-figure scoring performance. Freshman point guard Briana Autrey registered a team-high six assists and a buzzer-beater bucket.
The Spartans were led by Mikaylah Wilson's 16 points and nine rebounds. Both teams collected 41 rebounds on the game.
The Falcons return to Clune Arena to host the Wyoming Cowgirls at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Mar. 2. Air Force looks to deny Wyoming a clean sweep on the season after falling to the Cowgirls, 80-60, earlier this year in Laramie.
