Air Force Women’s Basketball will face Boise State on Wednesday, February 18 at ExtraMile Arena in Boise, Idaho. The Falcons enter the game with a 12-13 overall record and a 6-9 mark in Mountain West play, while the Broncos stand at 20-6 overall and 11-4 in conference games.

The matchup can be viewed on the Mountain West Network or heard on XtraSports AM 1300 with Ryan Kaufman providing commentary. Live statistics will be available through StatBroadcast, with access to all links via the women’s basketball schedule page at goairforcefalcons.com.

Senior Milahnie Perry leads Air Force in scoring with an average of 17.5 points per game, which is currently the highest in the Mountain West Conference. Junior Keelie O’Hollaren follows with an average of 9.7 points per game. The Falcons are ranked second in the conference for turnover margin (3.56) and turnovers forced per game (17.64). They also hold third place for steals per game (9.0) and offensive rebounds (12.3).

In their most recent outing, Air Force overcame San Jose State after trailing early to secure a 77-61 victory at Clune Arena, completing a season sweep over the Spartans. Perry scored a game-high 20 points, including career highs of 14 free throws made out of 16 attempts—both setting season benchmarks for any player in the Mountain West this year. This performance moved Perry into third place all-time for career scoring at Air Force, surpassing alumna Stacey Goss.

Juniors Keelie O’Hollaren and Jayda McNabb contributed significantly as well, scoring 18 and 14 points respectively while each collecting seven rebounds.

The Falcons led San Jose State across several statistical categories: field goals made (21), three-point attempts (27), free throws made (28—a season high), rebounds (36), assists (12), steals (12), points from turnovers (29—a season high), second-chance points (six), and fast-break points (15). Their total of 28 made free throws was the highest by any Mountain West team in a single game this season.

With this win, Air Force achieved its fourth victory out of five games and improved its series record against San Jose State to 14-15 overall.

Senior Emily Adams has shown notable improvement recently, averaging 12.1 points over her last eight games—the best stretch of her collegiate career—and achieving seven double-digit scoring games this season.

Jayda McNabb continues to be an important presence for Air Force; she leads the conference and ranks seventh nationally in offensive rebounding with an average of 4.2 per game this year.

Perry now has accumulated a total of 1,663 career points—third all-time at Air Force—and is within reach of moving up further on that list before her senior campaign concludes.

Statistical trends indicate that Air Force performs strongly when leading at halftime or holding opponents below certain point thresholds; they are also successful when out-rebounding opponents or making more three-point shots than their rivals.
