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. San Jose State
-In 19 previous meetings, Air Force is 6-13 against San Jose State since 1997.
-In the earlier matchup this season, the Falcons bested the Spartans 58-46 on January 19.
Last Time Out
-On the afternoon spent commemorating Air Force's senior class, it should come as no coincidence that the Falcons veteran leadership steered the ship in Saturday's 67-56 win over Utah State.
-Riley Snyder led the Falcons with 17 points, 15 of which came in the second-half.
-Snyder also managed six rebounds and three assists.
-Cierra Winters gave Air Force an early jolt, as eight of her 13 points came in the first quarter.
-Winters provided relentless defensive pressure, snaring five steals to lead all players.
-Nikki McDonald scored a season-high 11 points to go with five rebounds, as Kamri Heath was also in double-figures with 10 points.
-Point guard Jo Huntimer continues to get better each time she hits the floor, as the freshman led all players with a career-high eight assists.
Riley's Real Close
-Riley Snyder enters Wednesday with 1,514 career points, as she still sits second all-time in regards to Divison I scoring in program history.
-Snyder trails all-time DI scoring leader Kaelin Immel by 17 points (1,531 pts.) with three regular season games remaining.
-Her current 15.6 PPG average is 4th in the MW, and would give Snyder three of the top five scoring seasons in DI program history if the season ended today.
-Snyder's 13.8 career PPG would also become a DI program record.
-Her 89.3% free throw percentage ranks 3rd in the MW, and would become the 3rd-best single-season free throw rate in program history.
