Portland State at Air Force
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (Interstat) — The Air Force Falcons look to build on their first home win of the season when they host the Portland State Vikings in a non-conference women’s basketball game Tuesday at Clune Arena.
Air Force (2-2) is coming off a 67-54 victory over Manhattan on Saturday. The Falcons are 1-0 at home this season, having opened their campaign with a win over Denver.
Portland State (1-2) seeks to rebound from a 77-45 road loss to Colorado on Sunday. The Vikings’ lone win came in their home opener against Division III Willamette, 89-52, after a season-opening loss at Hawaii.
The matchup pits Portland State’s offense, which scored 89 points in its victory, against an Air Force defense that has held two of its four opponents below 60 points. The Falcons’ victories have been fueled by balanced scoring, while the Vikings have relied on the production of players like Milahnie Perry and Jordyn DeVaughn, who each scored 17 points in the loss to Colorado.
Following this game, Air Force begins a three-game road trip at UC San Diego on Saturday. Portland State continues its own road swing at Utah Tech on Saturday.
