Scouting Air Force
The Falcons finished the 2023-24 season 15-17 overall, and 8-10 in the Mountain West Conference. Stacy McIntyre is in her first season at the helm of the women's basketball program. McIntyre was previously an assistant coach at Air Force for nine years under Chris Gobrecht. This season, the Falcons are 2-0 with wins over Regis and South Dakota.
In 2023-24, McIntyre and the Air Force staff led the Falcons to a 15-17 finish, going 8-10 against the Mountain West. The Falcons went 10-6 in Clune Arena, marking the second season in three years of 10 or more home victories. Air Force has 30 wins the past three seasons which accounts for more home victories than the prior 10 seasons combined.
The Falcons are led by Junior Milahnie Perry, who holds the current single-season scoring record at AF, totaling 535 points in the 2023-24 season. Perry is currently on pace to become Air Force's 19th all-time career 1000-point scorer.
The Mattio Era
Head Coach Kristen Mattio enters her 4th season at the helm of Bears Basketball. Under Mattio, the Bears are 44-51 since she took over the program in 2020. Mattio is just two wins away from her 200th career victory and would be the first coach in program history to reach the 200-win mark.
