U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – The Air Force women's basketball team seeks its third-consecutive win on Wednesday, hosting Adams State at 6:30 p.m. in Clune Arena.
Scouting Air Force
Air Force, out to a 2-0 start – the Falcon's best season start since 2005- enters Wednesday's matchup fourth in the nation in free-throw percentage (.914), and 41st in turnovers forced per-game (23.50).
Senior guard Kamri Heath leads the way through the Falcons' season open, scoring 12 and 27 points at Denver and versus Navy, respectively. Both seniors Heath and forward Nikki McDonald have scored in the double-digits in their first two contests, with McDonald earning her first career double-double versus Navy, scoring twelve and logging ten assists along the way. McDonald's seven offensive boards leads the program through two games.
Sophomore Madison Smith debuted her 2022-23 season against Navy, putting up 17 points on 7-11 (.636) from the field and 3-5 from three in 16 minutes of play.
Air Force women's basketball rosters 13 players in 2022-23, including the addition of six C4C (Cadet, Fourth-Class - freshman) newcomers - Mackenzie Le, Milahnie Perry, Faith Shelton, Griffin Greenwood, Parker Brown, Emily Adams.
Shelton and Perry lead the C4C pack in floor time, averaging 17.0 and 15.5 minutes, respectively; Shelton, with six points against both Denver and Navy, also recorded three rebounds and one assist, block, and steal apiece against the Midshipmen on Nov. 11.
Scouting Adams State
Adams State finds itself out to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2013-14 entering Wednesday's match, following a pair of home wins against Midwestern State (97-72) and Cameron (101-66). Entering week two, the Grizzlies find themselves amongst Division II ranked third nationally in scoring offense (99.0) and fourth in three-point percentage (51.6%).
Adams State is currently led in scoring by a frontcourt duo consisting of junior Sharmayne Finley and freshman Harmanie Dominguez. Both, in the Grizzlies' first two games, have posted double-digit scores, averaging over 20.0 points. Dominguez leads Adams State from beyond the arc, shooting 7-10.
Adams State closed 2021-22 with a 12-15 record and 10-12 against league opponents in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC), good for an eighth-place finish.
Coach G Gaining Ground
Coach Gobrecht is currently serving her 43rd season as Air Force head coach - the second-longest tenure in women's hoops behind Stanford's Tara VanDerveer (44). Gobrecht's coaching resume boasts 600 career wins, a figure good for 16th among active Division I women's basketball head coaches.
Into her eighth season at the head of the Falcons' program, coach Gobrecht currently has 57 career Air Force wins to her name- tied for all-time winningest coach in program history with former head coach Ardie McInelly (2001-10).
Gobrecht was named 2021-22 Mountain West Coach of the Year following Air Force's successful 19-14 season – A year punctuated by Gobrecht's fourth career WNIT appearance as a head coach, and Air Force's first postseason appearance and subsequent win in program history – a 64-60 victory over WCC opponent San Francisco on March 17.
Last Time Out
It was a Veteran's Day to remember for the Air Force women's basketball team, as they downed Navy 90-50 at Clune Arena on Friday, Nov. 11. The win marked head coach Chris Gobrecht's 600th career victory, and 57th at the head of the Air Force program, tying Ardie McInelly (2001-10) on the all-time wins list. Additionally, the Falcons' 40-point victory – the largest win margin against Navy in program history – also represented Air Force's first win against the Midshipmen since the 2008-09 season.
The Falcons' (2-0) offense was fueled by a marquis day for senior Kamri Heath, who posted a career-high 27 points on 11-14 (.786) shooting, along with three rebounds and three steals on the day. After an early 6-0 run awarded the Midshipmen (0-2) with an 8-5 lead, Heath set the tone for the rest of the contest, leading the Falcons on a 10-0 run of their own to regain a lead which they would not give back for the remainder of the game.
Air Force was able to separate itself from the Midshipmen on the defensive side, creating 39 points off 29 turnovers – 14 of which were critical to the Falcons' first-half surge. Turnovers and 22 fastbreak points on the game for Air Force led to a 15-17 (.882) day at the free-throw line. Through their first two games, the Falcons have shot 32-35 (.914) at the stripe.
All-Time vs. Adams State
In coach Gobrecht's first meeting against Adams State since arriving at USAFA, the Falcons face off against ASU for the first time since the 2009-10 season- a 65-59 win against the Grizzlies at Clune Arena. Air Force maintains a 12-3 advantage in the all-time series against Adams State, having won four-consecutive meetings. The last Air Force loss against the Grizzlies was in the 1993-94 season opener in Alamosa- two seasons prior to the Falcons joining Division I.
