This season, McNabb leads the Mountain West Conference and ranks second nationally with an average of 4.8 offensive rebounds per game; she is also second in total rebounding (8.5) within the conference and third in steals (2.31).

The Falcons have shown strength at home this year with a perfect record of four wins without loss at Clune Arena to start their campaign—continuing their streak of strong home performances over recent seasons.
Perry’s career point total now stands at 1,455; she needs just 77 more to move into fifth place all-time—and third among Division I scorers—in program history.
Recent improvements have been made to access procedures for intercollegiate athletic events held at the U.S. Air Force Academy campus: visitors without Department of Defense identification must obtain a visitor pass before entering base grounds; however, passes are now issued monthly rather than requiring separate applications for each event during that period.
