Manhattan at Air Force

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (Interstat) — The Air Force Falcons will look to capitalize on their home court when they host the struggling Manhattan Lady Jaspers in a non-conference women’s basketball game on Saturday.

Both teams are seeking consistency early in the season. Air Force (1-2) earned a season-opening win over Denver but has since dropped two straight on the road, including a 60-49 loss at Oregon State on Monday. Keelie O’Hollaren led the Falcons with 13 points in that contest.

Manhattan (0-3) is still searching for its first win. The Lady Jaspers are coming off a narrow 65-63 home loss to Fairleigh Dickinson on Wednesday, a game in which Brianna Davis scored 19 points and Agar Farres Garcia recorded a double-double with 12 points and 15 rebounds. Manhattan’s offense has been an issue, having scored just 36 points in a lopsided loss at Minnesota.

The matchup at Clune Arena pits Air Force’s defense against a Manhattan team that has shown recent signs of life. The Falcons will continue a homestand against Portland State on Tuesday, while the Lady Jaspers’ search for a victory will next take them to Fordham on Nov. 23.
