LAST TIME THEY PLAYED
Air Force's explosive fourth quarter propelled the Falcons to a 62-45 win over Utah State in Mountain West Conference action, Wednesday evening (Jan. 8) in Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. Air Force had four players score in the double-figures.
Junior co-team captain Emily Conroe had the performance of the night as she registered a double-double with 11 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Conroe's defensive rebounding was exceptional as the guard out of Fredericksburg, Virginia, collected 11 defensive boards, helping to tie her season-high rebounding mark while setting a new career-high standard for defensive rebounds. Conroe also picked off a career-high six steals, flirting with a triple-double for the first time this season.
Air Force's top-three scorers, Kaelin Immel, Riley Snyder and Briana Autrey-Thompson, also put up double-figure scoring marks. Snyder and Autrey-Thompson led the team with 15 points apiece while Immel tallied 14.
Autrey-Thompson led the Falcons in shooting, hitting 83-percent from the field (5-6), and 100-percent at the free throw line (4-4). The sophomore point guard also registered a game-high four assists. Snyder, who shot 50-percent from the field (4-8), drained all six of her free throw attempts, marking her seventh perfect game from the line this season.
Air Force shot 47-percent from the field (23-49), and 100-percent from the line (11-11) on the game.
Sophomore guard Haley Jones helped round out the Falcons' solid performance, collecting seven rebounds and picking off a game-high four steals.
The Aggies were led by 6-2 senior forward Hailey Bassett who scored a game high 20 points. Bassett, who leads the league in blocks, also added six rebounds, three blocks and two steals to her stat line.

Air Force's bench combined for 16 points led by freshman Kamri Heath's eight point performance, the second-highest scoring mark for the Falcons.
