🔼 To the Ship. Carson Baker and Avery Tallakson are on to the championship at the 2025 Mountain West Fall Qualifier! The dynamic doubles duo defeated New Mexico, 7-6, 6-4, in the semifinals on Sunday afternoon to advance.

🔼 Strong Showing. Tereza Polakova and Masa Viriant delivered standout performances, placing third and fourth, respectively, at the Mountain West Fall Qualifiers in Las Vegas. In singles play, Viriant cruised into the semis in straight sets, while Polakova battled through three-set matches in all rounds to reach her semifinal. The two Broncos flipped a coin to decide the third-place finish, with Polakova drawing the win.

🔼 In the Sand. Avery Allen and Ava Anderson kicked off the fall beach volleyball season in style, finishing third at the Alki AVCA Qualifier in Seattle. The pair stormed through the early rounds before falling in the semifinals. They bounced back and closed out the tournament with a straight-set win to claim third place. Meanwhile, partners Allyson Alden and Elli Wolthuis rallied through the consolation bracket, winning three in a row to take that crown.

🔼 Recap from South Bend. Boise State went toe-to-toe with one of college football’s bluebloods on Saturday, showing grit in a 28–7 matchup at Notre Dame Stadium. Quarterback Maddux Madsen threw for 215 yards and added a rushing touchdown to give the Broncos an early lead. Boise State’s defense came ready too, with Ty Benefield posting eight tackles and a forced fumble, and Jake Ripp adding six tackles and 1.5 for loss.
While turnovers proved costly, the Broncos held strong against a Top-25 opponent in front of 77,000+ fans, the fifth-largest game in Boise State history. With the nonconference slate behind them, Boise State now turns its focus to Mountain West play, hosting New Mexico next Saturday on The Blue.

🔼 Five Sets. In a tightly contested Mountain West match, Boise State dropped a 5-set thriller at Utah State, 25-19, 22-25, 25-27, 25-18, 15-11. The match was tight from start to finish; Boise State won sets two and three, but couldn’t close it out in the decisive fifth. Standout performances included Jazmine Smith and Kailyn Jager, who each poured in 15 kills. Arianna Bilby recorded a double-double with 12 kills and 10 digs, Sydney Dreves added nine kills and 16 digs, and Elle Cotton tallied a career-high 34 assists in the effort.

🔼 Moving Fast. Boise State is coming home from South Bend with two top-three finishes at the Joe Piane Invitational! The men’s and women’s cross country teams finished second and third, respectively, at the meet, with the men tallying 71 points and the women earning 108 points. Meshack Kuyo led the way for the men as he scored four points with his time of 22:52.7 in the 8k, good for fourth place. Meanwhile, Kaiya Roberston was the first Bronco to finish for the women in the 5k, landing in fifth place with a time of 16:08.9.
Next up? The Broncos are off to the East Coast for the Princeton Fall Classic in New Jersey on Oct. 17. A second group of Broncos will head to Oregon for the George Oja Invitational on Oct. 18.

🔼 Renewals Open. Ready for another season of Boise State gymnastics? Season ticket renewals and sales are open now for the upcoming campaign! Grab individual season tickets for $20 or pick up a family plan of four tickets for $60. The home slate gets underway on January 30 against Air Force, Utah State, and Sacramento State.

🤔 BLUE TURF TRIVIA
