Women’s Hoops Announces Seven Freshmen to Roster

USAF ACADEMY, Colo. – Head coach of Falcon women's hoops, Chris Gobrecht, has announced the addition of seven freshmen to the 2020-2021 roster. The class of 2024 will join 12 returners, five starters, for the winter campaign.

"This is a class with some true talent to add to a veteran group that should be the best team Air Force Women's Basketball has ever put on the floor," Gobrecht said. "So much of their ability to contribute will depend on how fast they learn and how well they handle the challenges of being a freshman at the Academy. We expect big things of this class down the road."
