LAST GAME

The Falcons, who downed the Aggies earlier this season in Utah, drop to 4-15 with a 2-6 mark in the league, while Utah State improved to 6-13 overall and their first MW win this season (1-7).
Air Force was led by freshman guard Allyah Marlett who scored a career-best 15 points, shooting 60-percent from the field and 66-percent from deep. Air Force ignited behind Marlett in the fourth quarter as she scored six points of Air Force's 11-0 scoring run to open the final quarter. The native of Aurora, Colorado, was instrumental in the Falcons' rally, draining a three-ball late in the third quarter and another during the fourth quarter scoring run, tallying a career-best two three-balls on the night. Marlett also added to boards and a steal to her final stat line.
Junior co-team captain Kaelin Immel dropped 15 points for her fifth-straight double-figure scoring performance, 15th of the season. Immel collected four rebounds, picked off two steals and dished an assist to round out her stats on the night.
Air Force's third double-figure scoring performance came from sophomore point guard, Briana Autrey-Thompson, who tallied 10 points, three assists and three of the Falcons' 13 steals. Emily Conroe and Haley Jones were working hard down low as two of the Mountain West's top-10 rebounders, snagging six boards apiece.

Gorman drained a game-high four three-pointers, helping the Aggies to an 80-percent three-point percentage (4-5) in the third quarter. Basset collected a game-high nine rebounds and shot over 60-percent on the night.
