Series History vs. Opponents
-Historically, Air Force is 3-5-1 all-time against Nevada.
-In 2021, the Falcons were defeated 2-0 in Reno.
-Air Force is 1-2-1 all-time in Reno, with the Falcons lone win coming in 2017, a 2-1 win in overtime in 2017.
-Against the Rebels, the Falcons are 8-17-1 in 26 matches.
-The Falcons have recorded a 5-9 record in Las Vegas.
-Air Force bested UNLV 4-3 in double-overtime a season ago.
-The Falcons last win in Las Vegas was in 2019, a 2-1 overtime win.
Last Time Out
-On the afternoon in which Air Force honored its 2023 senior class, it was a pair of freshmen that created a late game-winning goal, as the Falcons took down Wyoming 1-0.
-In the 73rd minute, Eleanor Musgrove took charge of the attack down the left side of the pitch. Musgrove's pass into the box deflected to Alexa Ramthun, who made a perfect through pass back to Musgrove.
-The Illinois native needed little space to square up a stellar left-footed shot into the back of the net.
-The score marks the first collegiate goal for Musgrove, with Ranthum notching her second career assist.
-Goalkeeper Sydney Davis was terrific yet again, stopping all six shots on goal she faced. Over the past two games, Davis has turned away all 15 shots on goal.
Coach Busby after Wyoming
-"I'm really proud of the way we applied information and showed grit throughout the match. It's always a grind on Sunday afternoons and our warriors pulled off the win. Credit to two freshmen for combining to give us the game winner. We're not done yet. We have a big road weekend ahead of us and I'm confident that we can put ourselves in the playoff race if we continue to play like we did today."
