As we approach the final stretch of the regular season and head into championship season, senior nights are in full swing. Tonight’s West Coast showdown between Air Force and Oregon State marks their second-to-last meet of the regular season, with postseason aspirations on the line for both teams. Historically, Oregon State has dominated this matchup, winning seven of their last twelve contests, including the last four.
Air Force has made steady progress throughout the season, consistently scoring above 49 on every event except bars. After an uncharacteristic performance with two falls on bars last week, they’ll look to bounce back. The Falcons will rely on seasoned all-arounder Maggie Slife and bars specialist Chelsea Boyer to lead the charge. Kylie Greene will also be key for the Falcons on beam, as she nears a 9.800 NQS.
For Oregon State, it’s all about the seniors tonight in their final home meet at Gill Coliseum. The Beavers’ seven-member senior class has been integral to the program’s success since 2022, and they’re heading into the postseason with momentum, led by Jade Carey, who ranks in the top ten nationally across all four events. This senior class has already tallied six scores of 9.900+ this season, and a 197.000 tonight would mark the 60th such score in program history, a fitting tribute for a sold-out crowd.
Today’s meet will be streamed for free on YouTube, with scoring updates provided by Virtius.
