The Falcons, hosting the MPSF Championships at Clune Arena, closed the event with a third-place finish, ending with a 195.475.
Senior Amber Boll was tabbed MPSF champion on uneven bars after earning a career-best and team season-high 9.925 - A figure which tied for the second-highest event score in program history. 9.925 on bars had only been achieved or surpassed four times prior, with the most recent belonging to former Falcon Anna Salamone in 2020.

Air Force opened its day with a season-high showing in the floor exercise, with freshmen Sarah Willis and Madison Carlisle both leading the way for the Falcons, each earning a career-best 9.825.
A 9.750 for Boll led Air Force on vault; Freshman Kylee Greene followed up, earning a 9.725 and tying her second-highest mark of the season in the event.
Boll's championship-worthy 9.925 led all scores for the day on bars and was complimented by a pair of new career bests for both sophomore Velandra Brochi (9.825) and freshman Kylee Greene (9.775).
Closing the day on beam, it was sophomore Ayla McKean who led the way, tying for second place and matching her career mark with a 9.875. Boll and Brochi followed up, both earning a 9.825. Senior Briona Carswell finished with a 9.800.
