The Falcons earned eight podium finishes on the evening, including a one-two-three performance from all arounders Alyssa Bigler (T-1st, 39.250), Maggie Slife (T-1st, 39.250) and senior Kylee Greene (39.000).
From the jump, Air Force took its place in the front and never looked back, scoring a 48.725 on vault. Slife landed the first 9.800 of the evening to pace the Falcons in their first event and tie for second.
On uneven bars, Air Force compiled a strong showing, finishing with a 48.900 to extend the Falcons' lead over the field. Junior Clara Wallace, opening for the Falcons and competing for the second time this season on the apparatus, stuck a double back dismount to score a 9.725 and match her season best. Chelsea Boyer followed up, resetting her season high with a 7.750. All arounders Greene and Bigler went next, scoring 9.800 and 9.725, respectively. Slife capped the Falcons' showing with her second 9.900 of the season on bars and the only 9.900 of the night on the apparatus, clinching a podium finish.
Air Force shattered its season best on balance beam, scoring a 48.850. Bigler owned her routine, earning a 9.925 win to tie the all-time program record (Analise Howard, 2018) while matching the eighth-best bars score since the Mountain West adopted the sport in 2024. Greene landed a 9.800 to score a new season best and her second 9.800 of the evening. Freshman Erin McDermott took a big step forward on the scoresheet, scoring a 9.750 to the tune of a new career best.
Closing the evening on floor, Slife and Bigler provided a one-two punch worthy of lifting Air Force to its second win of the season, both scoring 9.875 and 9.825, respectively. Air Force closed with a 48.750 team score on floor, elevating the Falcons to their first 195 finish of 2026.
Head Coach Jennifer Green on the Falcons' adjustments from week two:
"The team owned our mistakes from last week and were extremely intentional all week to fix things. They took it upon themselves to ask for what they needed. Shows maturity and such growth!
"Tonight was a huge confidence booster. We wanted to put four events together and we did just that. We controlled what we could and stayed in our bubble. I am so proud of this team - We are moving in the right direction."
Green on Bigler Stepping Into Her Role With The Falcons:
"It's amazing to see Alyssa take a leadership role. She had the beam team dialed in. Having a total team effort is what it takes - Everyone owning their roles. Tonight we wanted to have fun and be ourselves. Alyssa was calm and confident on beam and so fun to watch her do what she does everyday in practice. Well deserved!"
Up Next:
The Falcons are in Boise, Idaho, taking on host Boise State, Sacramento State and Utah State at the Broncos' ExtraMile Arena on Jan. 30.
