PROVO, Utah - In the closest game ever in the series, Air Force lost a 52-47 heartbreaker at BYU Wednesday night in Mountain West Conference women's basketball action at the Marriott Center. The Falcons fall to 7-11 overall and 1-5 in MWC play.

The previous closest game ever in the series was a 78-66 Cougar win in 1998.

Trailing 50-47, the Falcons' last two three-point attempts were blocked and BYU (10-8, 4-2). The Cougars sank a pair of three throws with five seconds left to seal the win.

Seniors Jamie Davis and Pamela Findlay, and freshman Raimee Beck reached double-figures in scoring. The trio picked up the slack for the Falcons as leading scorer and rebounder Alecia Steele was limited to seven minutes in the second-half due to a hamstring injury.

Beck led Air Force with 13 points, making three, three-point baskets and dishing out three assists. Findlay scored 12 points, and made 7-8 free throws. The senior has not missed a free throw since the Dec. 8 game against Wisconsin. Davis scored 11 points, all in the first-half, making a career-high three, three pointers.

BYU was led by Mallary Carling, who scored 24 points, 16 in the second-half. Lauren Varley added nine points 15 rebounds and five blocked shots


METRO NOTES:    Freshman Raimee Beck starts at point guard for the Falcons and played a team high 39 minutes on the road.  Raimee is currently the 3rd leading freshman scorer in the Mountain West Conference.  She is also the leading freshman in assists, 3 point shots made and 3 point shooting percentage in the Mountain West Conference.
