FRESNO – Air Force dropped a 76-58 Mountain West contest to Fresno State, Wednesday evening in the Save Mart Center. The Falcons drop to 4-12 on the season with a 2-9 mark in the league while the Bulldogs improved to 11-6 with a 9-3 mark in the league.

Fresno State got out to an early lead and never looked back, holding the scoring advantage for nearly 40 minutes. The Falcons battled to within five points of the lead in the third quarter but the Bulldogs were able fend off the offensive and seal the deal over Air Force in the first of a two-game series.

Autrey-Thompson shot 58-percent from the floor (7-12) and picked up three rebounds. A bit out of character, Autrey-Thompson did not dish an assist or pick off a steal in the contest.

Senior rebounds leader Emily Conroe picked up a game-high nine boards on the night and added six points to the Falcons' scoring total. Senior teammate Kaelin Immel was good for nine points, four rebounds and a season-high five assists. Immel was also credited with two blocked shots.

All-time blocks leader Kassady Huffman added two more blocks to her tally while collecting five rebounds and scoring a bucket.

The Bulldogs had three players in the double-digits, led by sophomore guard Hanna Cavinder with 24 points. Sister, Haley Cavinder, was good for 15 points and Aly Gamez put up 14 points, 12 of which from downtown.

Air Force and Fresno State will meet tomorrow (Feb. 11) to conclude the two game series. Tip-off is slated for 6 p.m. PT, in the Save Mart Center.
