Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Boise State forward Tyson Degenhart has been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches Mountain District First Team.
 
In a newly-revised model, the NABC Division I All-District Teams were arranged by state rather than conference, featuring 10 geographic regions. Each district has a first and second team which consists of 20 total players (10 first team, 10 second team) and a coach of the year.
 
Degenhart's first-team selection marks the second time he's garnered the distinction in his career. He was named to the NABC All-District 17 First Team a year ago.

The winners in 14 categories will be determined by a group of industry executives. Award winners in two categories — Athletic Director of the Year and Executive of the Year — will be selected solely by Sports Business Journal.

🔼 Squad Goals. The Boise State gymnastics squad collected five Mountain West weekly accolades following its win over No. 22 Southern Utah on March 14. Emily Lopez earned MW Co-Vault and Bars Specialist of the Week, Kristina Shchennikova picked up MW Co-Beam Specialist and Freshman of the Week, while Julia Melchert garnered MW Floor Specialist of the Week.

Lopez scored a team-high 9.825 on vault and tied for third at the meet. The fifth year also claimed the bars title with a 9.925, marking her sixth this season and 19th of her career.

Melchert earned her first career floor title as she made her Boise State debut on floor with a career-high 9.925. The fifth year also notched her first MW weekly award.

Shchennikova secured her seventh and eighth MW weekly honors, three on beam and five freshman. The freshman notched a 9.875 on beam to earn the individual crown, marking her third of the season.

🔼 As Right As Rain ☔️. Lukas Velik's straight-set win at No. 3 singles clinched the match for Boise State as the Broncos men’s tennis team defeated Santa Clara 4-1 on Tuesday. It was Boise State's fifth-consecutive victory as the 42nd-ranked Broncos improved to 13-4 overall.
 
The match was delayed five times because of rain on Monday in Santa Clara, California, and eventually postponed. On Tuesday, it was relocated to San Luis Obispo, California, to complete.

🔼 In Sweeping Fashion. The Boise State softball team members hit four home runs during a doubleheader sweep at Pacific in nonconference softball, Tuesday.

In the opener, Makenzie Butt and Hollie Farmer went deep in a 7-2 victory. The nightcap saw Megan Lake and Brooklynn Pettis dial long distance in a 9-6 win that improved Boise State to 21-9. Lake also drove in a career-high five runs in the second game. Sophia Knight's on-base streak is at 44 games, a school record.
