🔼 Clinched! The 2025 Mountain West regular-season championship belongs to the Broncos after Boise State beat Grand Canyon, 1-0, on the road in Phoenix yesterday. Kenzie MacMillan provided the game’s only goal early, netting this goal in the fifth minute. Freshman goalie Ava de Leest made a jaw-dropping save late in the second to preserve the win.

🔼 A Voice From the Back. Freshman goalie Ava de Leest is making an impact this season for the Broncos. A native of Fullerton, California, de Leest started playing soccer when she was five years old, and when assistant coach Liz Ruiz saw her play with Legends FC, she knew de Leest would be special. A recruiting trip to Boise soon followed, and now the freshman goalie is an integral part of why the Broncos are undefeated in conference play this season.

🔼 Preseason Rankings. The Boise State men’s basketball squad is predicted to have a strong season by select members of the media, coming in third in the Mountain West’s preseason rankings. The team finished behind San Diego State and Utah State.

Meanwhile, junior forward Andrew Meadow landed on the preseason 2025-26 All-Mountain West Team! Meadow started 35-of-37 games last season for the Broncos, averaging 12.6 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.

🔼 Five Sets. Boise State volleyball won a five-set thriller last night over UNLV. The two teams traded sets all night, with the Broncos taking the opening set before the Rebels evened things after two frames. Boise State picked up set three, and the Rebels took the fourth, before a back-and-forth five-set broke the Broncos’ way. Watch Arianna Bilby’s game-winning 21st kill of the night!

🔼 Media Day. Boise State men’s and women’s hoops hit Mountain West Media Day this week! Here are some of our favorite moments from the trip to Las Vegas:
