LAST GAME
Air Force was unable to overtake defending Mountain West champs, Boise State (17-9, 9-5), falling 74-69 in Clune Arena in a Wednesday evening league contest (Feb. 12). The Falcons overcame an 18-point deficit to tie at 61 in the fourth quarter but were unable to wrangle in the Broncos for the win, falling to 5-19 on the season with a 3-10 mark in the conference.
Air Force was led by sophomore forward Riley Snyder who was outstanding on the night, scoring a game-high and career-high 25 points, shooting perfect from beyond the arc (3-3) and from the free throw line (4-4). Snyder shot 60-percent on the night (9-15) while adding four boards, three assists and two steals to her final stat line. Snyder has four 20+ point games on the season.
Kaelin Immel was Air Force's next significant contributor, dropping 18 points with three assists and three steals. The game marked Immel's 20th double-figure scoring mark this season. She shot 44-percent from the field on the night (8-18). Sophomore teammate Briana Autrey-Thompson, who now averages 4.2 apg, dished out six assists and contributed eight points to Air Force's final scoring tally.
Air Force's bench outscored Boise State's bench, 15-4, led by freshman Allyah Marlett who scored nine points off the seat, shooting 57-percent on the game (4-7). Freshman teammate Nikki McDonald, who made her fifth-straight start of the season, collected five rebounds and dropped three points with an assist. Junior team-captain Emily Conroe, who has started all 24 contests this season, also collected five rebounds but was scoreless on the evening.
Air Force had a notable night shooting, albeit not all necessarily good notes; they knocked down 50-percent from the field (28-56) and 46-percent from deep (6-13), season high marks well-above the season averages, but they struggled to hit the free throws, sinking just 7-12 attempts (58.3-percent), arguably giving up the game at the line.
Boise State was led by a quartet of players in the double-figures, highlighted by Riley Lupfer's 23 points, 18 of which came from down range as she shot 6-12 from deep. Mallory McGwire posted a double-double with 16 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. Jayde Christopher was a bucket shy of a double-double, dishing 11 assists while scoring eight points.
