Series History vs. UTEP
-Air Force has only played UTEP twice, with the Falcons posting a 0-2 record against the Miners.
-Both matchups took place during the 1997-98 season, as Air Force was defeated 75-63 at home and 77-51 on the road.

Last Time Out
-To start a four-game road trip, Air Force was buoyed by Cierra Winters, as she scored a career-high 21 points en route to a 63-48 Falcons win over Dixie State.
-Winters finished her afternoon 7-17 from the field, including 1-4 from beyond the arc.
-Her relentless pursuit of the rim paid dividends for her and Air Force, with Winters attempting a game-high 10 free throws, making six.
-Her stat line, to go with her new personal best in points, was accompanied with eight rebounds, three assists and three steals.
-Riley Snyder also managed double-figures for the Falcons, scoring 16 points on a day where she finished 50% from the field. The senior was 2-4 from long range, and made all four of her free throws.
-It was surely true team effort in regards to filling up the scoreboard, as 10 of the 11 players that came onto the floor scored at least a point for Air Force.
