SCOUTING THE COWGIRLS
Wyoming is 8-7 on the year, with a 1-3 mark in conference play. The Cowgirls, who are coming off a split MW weekend at San Jose State (1-3 loss, 3-0 win), shared several non-conference opponents with the Falcons, including Utah (0-3 loss), South Dakota (1-3 loss) and Idaho State (3-0 win) – with the last serving as one of just a handful of losses' on the Bengals' 12-4 season. Individually, Addy Thorington is tied for third in the conference with 0.50 aces per set, while Rylee Heinz holds MW Top 10 averages in hitting (eighth, .351) and blocks (eighth, 1.00). A full stat comparison of Air Force and Wyoming s is located on Page 5 of this release).
HISTORY 101
The Cowgirls hold a 48-8 lifetime advantage over the Falcons, with Air Force's last victory coming during a thrilling reverse sweep win (17-25, 18-25, 25-16, 25-23, 15-7) in Laramie during the 2022 season. Five of the Falcons' wins came at the Academy, while the remaining three wins came on the Cowgirls' home floor.
AROUND THE CONFERENCE
Grace Fiaseu is ranked second in the Mountain West for hitting during both conference (.493) and overall (.377) action, while Ella Vogel leads the league in overall digs (4.29) and holds a No. 3 ranking in digs during MW play (4.20). In addition, Alysa Walker holds league-leading averages in both kills (3.97) and points (4.27) for the season, while the Falcons lead the Mountain West in digs with a 15.90 per-set average.
THE 500 CLUB
Grace Fiaseu and Alysa Walker both joined The 500-Kill Club during the first set of the Falcons' match at UC Davis on Oct. 1. Walker reached that milestone mark with her third kill of the night – a strike that came during a set-opening run that saw the junior account for four of the squad's first six points, while Fiaseu moved from 499 to 500 with her first kill at the 16-20 mark.
WHAT'S ON DECK
The Falcons remain at the Academy next week, when they host Grand Canyon on Oct. 15-16.
