USAFA, Colo. – The San Francisco Women's Basketball Team got its win on the road this season, defeating Air Force on base, 77-70.
"It's always challenging to play on the road," San Francsico Head Coach Molly Goodenbour said after the game. "Especially here at Air Force, on Veteran's Day… I thought it was good for us to play in an environment where things are hard. Hard with the altitude, hard with the style Air Force plays."
In what was a back-and-forth affair for most of the contest, the Dons were down 20-16 at the end of the first quarter. The Falcons' biggest lead of the game came in the quarter, when Air Force led by nine with 1:31 left to go.
Candy Edokpaigebe led the Dons in scoring for the second game in a row. Her 16 points, while shooting 7-for-12, is the third-straight game this season scoring at least 15 points for Edokpaigbe. The double-digit score is also the nineteenth-straight game she has completed that feat, which is the longest-active streak in the entire West Coast Conference.
Eight of Edokpaigbe's 16 points also came in the fourth quarter, highlighted when she picked off a pass for a fastbreak layup. She also had two steals in the final quarter and two blocks on the game.
"Candy is just incredibly competitive," Coach Molly Goodenbour said after the game. "She always is going to be the one that wants to be in a position to make big plays."
Aina Cargol and Savi Mi were the other Dons to score double digits. Cargol scored 15 while shooting 3-of-5 from behind the arc and dished out six assists to lead the game. Mi had her second double-digit scoring game on the year, scoring 12 points on 5-for-10 shooting from the field and 2-for-3 from three.
The Dons' biggest lead of the contest came in the fourth quarter when they were up 12 after a 9-0 run with 4:06 left in the game, when Edokpaigbe finished with the fastbreak layup after her steal to help cement the victory.
Air Force went on its own run near the end of the game, dropping USF's lead down to seven with 51 seconds remaining in the game before three Emilie Beggs free throws cemented the win.
Lucia Yenes led the game in rebounds, grabbing 10 boards and three on the offensive side. Two of those offensive boards were immediately put in by Yenes for second-chance points.
"It's good to have her on the floor," Coach Goodenbour said. "She can extend with her three-point shot, she's also able to finish close to the rim. We're really pleased to have her out there playing."
The Falcons were led by Jayda McNabbwith 20 points, shooting 12-of-16 from the free throw line.
San Francisco continues to show its depth as well with 23 bench points to the Falcons' 6.
Next up for the Dons will be another road game. This time, playing future-WCC member UC San Diego in La Jolla on Sunday, November 15 at 1:00 p.m. PT.
"UCSD is a great team," Coach Goodenbour said. "They're well coached, they're consistently in the NCAA Tournament… And coming into our league next year, it's a good opportunity for us to play against a high-level team."
