COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USF fell behind early for the second straight game but rallied this time, overcoming a 13-point second-half deficit to beat Air Force 73-70 Saturday night in the Air Force Classic.
Jasmine Wynne had 18 points, her sixth straight game in double figures, and Andrell Smith had 12 despite fouling out midway through the second half for the Bulls (6-4).
"It was good to see some fight and resolve from our team," USF coach Jose Fernandez said.
A day after falling behind 17-0 in a loss to Idaho State, the Bulls trailed for nearly the entire first half and were down 53-40 with 15:50 left in the game.
USF then went into a full-court press, creating turnovers that triggered the comeback. Wynne's free throw with 5:01 left gave the Bulls a 63-62 lead. The Falcons tied it twice after that, the last time at 65 before Kaneisha Saunders' jump shot with 3:11 left gave USF the lead for good.
