Air Force Women’s Basketball will conclude its two-game Florida trip with a matchup against Wright State on Saturday at 11 a.m. MT in Boca Raton. The game will be broadcast on Flo Sports and available for single-game purchase, while radio coverage will be provided by 740 KVOR from Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena. Live statistics and scoring can be accessed via StatBroadcast, with links found on the women’s basketball schedule page at goairforcefalcons.com.

Currently, senior Milahnie Perry leads Air Force in scoring, averaging 17 points per game, followed by junior Jordyn Devaughn with 9.3 points per game. Over the first six games of the 2025-26 season, the Falcons are second in the Mountain West Conference for both turnover margin (+5.71) and turnovers forced per game (21), ranking them 55th and 72nd nationally in those categories.

In their previous game against Florida Atlantic, Air Force started without two key players but managed to take an early lead of up to 13 points in the first half. Despite a strong offensive showing, FAU rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat Air Force 76-71.

Senior Milahnie Perry led all scorers with a season-high 27 points on Thursday (9-19 FG, 9-11 FT), also contributing four assists and three steals. Junior Keelie O’Hollaren scored a career-best 25 points, hitting five out of ten attempts from three-point range. Freshman Bhret Clay added ten points and three steals, while junior Marissa Hargrave collected a career-high six rebounds and tied for most steals in the game with four.

The Falcons led their opponent in made three-pointers (eight), blocked shots (three), and second-chance points (seven).

Jayda McNabb has played an important role throughout her time at the Academy. As a sophomore last season she averaged 7.9 points per game and achieved six double-doubles while leading Air Force in rebounding and finishing second in the conference for offensive rebounds. This year she ranks third among Mountain West players for rebounding (7.86 rpg) and is fifth nationally for offensive boards (4.9). She has reached double figures twice this season and averages just over seven points per contest while shooting .512 from the field.

Freshmen Bhret Clay and Jordyn Devaughn have been notable contributors off the bench early this season. Clay leads Air Force in three-point shooting percentage (.407) through her first seven collegiate games; defensively she also leads her team in steals with an average of 2.4 per game—ranking fourth within the Mountain West Conference for takeaways so far this year. Devaughn is currently Air Force’s second-leading scorer entering Thanksgiving week after recording four double-digit scoring performances at season start.

Saturday’s meeting marks only the second encounter between Air Force and Wright State; their previous matchup was back in 1983 when Wright State won at home.

Against Horizon League opponents overall, Air Force holds a record of one win to five losses—their sole victory coming last year against Milwaukee during play in Puerto Rico on November 28.

Recent performance trends show that last season Air Force held opponents below seventy points sixteen times out of eighteen wins—and outscored all opponents off turnovers during those victories as well.

At home during that period:
– The team was undefeated when scoring seventy or more points or when shooting better than their opponent.
– Over three seasons they posted a home record of thirty-one wins to seventeen losses.
– When reaching seventy or more points they went thirty-six wins to five losses overall—including twenty-four wins to one loss at home.
– They were eight-and-one when scoring eighty-plus or shooting fifty percent or better from the field.
– When holding teams under sixty they went twenty-three-and-eight overall; seventeen-and-seven when winning rebounding battles; eighteen-and-three when outscoring opponents inside—all predominantly favoring home contests.
