Saturday night's competition will be available for viewing on B1G+ via online subscription; Live scoring can be found on the Air Force women's gymnastics' schedule page on goairforcefalcons.com.
Last Time Out:
Air Force closed the evening in UNC's Carmichael Arena with a 193.850.
Reigning MPSF Gymnast of the Week Velandra Brochi proved to be an anchor of consistency for the Falcons, scoring a 9.800 on both balance beam and floor exercise, while finishing third in the former. 9.800 on the floor was a team high in the event.
Senior Amber Boll, along with teammate Briona Carswell, were both recognized and briefly honored during North Carolina's Senior Day ceremony. Boll closed her day with a 9.725 on vault, improving upon last week's score in the event by five hundredths.
Sophomore Gabriella Meccia finished her night with a 9.700 on vault – improving on her score by .250 from the previous week - and another 9.700 on the floor, earning the second-best score of her inaugural season competing in the event.
On balance beam, two-time MPSF Freshman of the Week Kylee Greene tied last week's career best with a 9.825, good for a second-place finish; Boll followed up earning a 9.775.
In the all-around, Brochi closed the evening with a 38.900, finishing in third place.
2023 Award Winners:
On Feb. 28, Brochi was named MPSF Gymnast of the Week after setting season or career-bests in all four events in the Falcons' season-high 195.650 at Sacramento State (Feb. 24). Brochi's 39.250 all-around title marked the third-highest four-event total in Air Force history. The sophomore earned a season-high 9.750 on the vault, tying for third place, and tied a career-best 9.825 on bars. She set career-bests on the balance beam with a 9.850 and a season-high 9.825 on floor.
Greene, earning her second conference Freshman of the Week honor on Feb. 21, tied or set career-highs in two events on a night in which Air Force set a then-season-best 195.125 in the Falcons' home finale. On balance beam, Greene earned a career-high 9.800 on the way to the Falcons earning their second-best team score of the season (48.925). She then led Air Force on the floor with a 9.825 which tied her career best. This is the second career MPSF weekly award for Greene.
Greene earned the accolade for the first time for pace-setting performances at Air Force's showing at the TWU Quad on Jan. 20.
Looking Ahead:
Air Force returns to USAFA to host the MPSF Championships in Clune Arena on March 18.
