Clune Arena Hosts Air Force Falcons vs Army Black Knights in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Air Force Falcons prepare to take on the Army Black Knights at Clune Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an enthralling encounter in women's basketball. The Falcons, coming off a decisive 78-68 victory over Regis University Rangers on November 15, are looking to maintain their winning momentum.
The Falcons' recent performance has been nothing short of impressive. Their defensive prowess was on full display as they racked up 15 steals and capitalized on turnovers, scoring 25 points off their opponent's mistakes. This aggressive defense is likely to unsettle the Black Knights who will need to be cautious with ball handling.
Offensively, the Falcons have shown they can maintain a steady pace throughout the game but really turn up the heat in the final quarters. In their last outing against Regis University Rangers, they poured in 26 points in the fourth quarter alone – a testament to their endurance and strategic play as games progress.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for AFA; just three days prior on November 11 against Houston Cougars at Fertitta Center, they suffered a heavy defeat with a scoreline of 61-99. The Cougars exploited AFA’s weaknesses by dominating both offensive rebounds and second-chance points. This loss highlighted areas where AFA must improve if they hope to overcome ARMY – particularly by enhancing their field goal percentage which stood at only 27 percent during that game.
Despite this setback, there is reason for optimism among Falcon fans. When facing Denver Pioneers back on November 7 at Clune Arena itself, AFA secured a narrow win with strong performances across both ends of the court – including five blocks and nine steals defensively and maintaining a solid field goal percentage of nearly 41 percent.
Looking ahead to ARMY’s visitation, it is essential that AFA leverages its home-court advantage at Clune Arena where fan support can provide an additional boost. The team will need to focus on maintaining high energy levels throughout all four quarters while executing plays efficiently if they wish not only win but also send out a statement of intent for future games.
The scheduled clash between Air Force Falcons and Army Black Knights is set for November 18th at Clune Arena located within Colorado Springs’ zip code area of 80840. Tip-off time is slated for an evening start at around eight o'clock PM local time (Mountain Time Zone). Fans eager not miss any action should note that while no broadcast networks have been announced yet; attending live would undoubtedly offer most thrilling experience!
