COVID-19 Update
-Current Department of Defense and Air Force Academy policies require all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask when indoors in all Academy facilities, including the press box, Blue and Silver Club, suites, elevators and restrooms. All individuals who have not been fully vaccinated must also wear masks outdoors at all times while on the installation. Fans who are fully vaccinated and are not required to wear a mask when outdoors. Anyone with a COVID-19 diagnosis within the previous 10 days, or any symptoms suggestive of possible COVID-19, or a recent close contact with an individual known to be positive for COVID-19 should not come to the stadium. These policies will be constantly evaluated and any changes will be communicated.
Series History vs. Opponents
-Air Force is 1-22-1 in 24 matches with the Aztecs.
-The Falcons lone win against SDSU was in 2001, a 3-0 home win.
-Air Force has never beaten the Aztecs in San Diego.
-As a program, the Falcons are 10-18-1 against New Mexico.
-The Falcons last road win in Albuquerque was in 2016, a 2-1 final score.
What to Expect
-SDSU's Denise Castro is 5th in the MWC in points (17) by way of eight goals and one assist.
-Castro's eight goals place her in a share for the MW lead.
-Aztec goalkeeper Alexa Madueno leads the MW in saves per game (5.14) as well as shutouts (6).
-Air Force should be able to find openings against the Aztecs, as SDSU has surrendered the third-most goals in the MW.
-The Lobos Zaria Kateswiga and Jadyn Edwards are tied with Castro for the conference lead in goals (8). New Mexico's Molly Myers also has seven scores under her belt.
-Edwards leads the MW in points (21), while Kateswiga is third (19).
-New Mexico's defense will test Air Force, considering the Lobos own the third-lowest GAA in the MW (1.07).
A Pivotal Final Home Stand
-This past weekend, Air Force managed four points, with results including a 0-0 tie against Utah State, and a 2-1 OT win over Boise State.
-The Falcons now sit only one point outside of a Mountain West Conference Tournament position.
At the Peak
-Faith Lee continues to lead the Falcons in points with 13.
-Her contributions over 15 games have made for the seventh-most points in the conference.
-Lee's game-winning goal against Boise State was her fifth of 2021, placing her in a share for fourth-most scores within the MW.
-GK Cammi Bych now has four shutouts in 2021, second-most in the MW.
Two This Weekend, One Next Week
-Following a westward road trip, the Falcons will close the 2021 regular season at Colorado College on Friday, October 29.
