📈 STOCK UP

🔼 On Deck. The Broncos (18-20, 4-5 MW) welcome New Mexico (15-19, 3-6 MW) for a three-game home series starting tonight at 6 p.m. Boise State is looking to rebound after a heartbreaking series loss at Colorado State, where a walk-off three-run homer in the seventh ended Sunday's rubber match. Head coach Justin Shults needs 14 more wins to become BSU's all-time winningest softball coach, while the Broncos hold a 14-4 advantage in games played at home against the Lobos. Full preview here.

🔼 Ready for Regionals. Boise State sends a trio of All-Mountain West gymnasts to the NCAA Regional Championship in Corvallis, Ore., tomorrow at 2 p.m. MT (ESPN+). Kristina Shchennikova and Mahleea Werline will compete on bars, where both share the team-best NQS of 9.850 (fifth in the MW). Shchennikova posted BSU's top individual score of the year, a career-high 9.925, at Cal and is the only Bronco with event titles in multiple apparatus during her career. Werline enters on a streak of seven straight bars routines at 9.825 or better, including a career-high 9.900 on Senior Night. Senior Sydney Kho represents BSU on beam with a team-leading NQS of 9.845 (sixth in the MW), riding her own seven-meet streak of 9.800+ beam scores capped by a career-best 9.900 at Stanford. All three earned All-MW Second Team honors alongside Blake Pascal (floor) and Miraya Nero (all-around).

🔼 Ranked & Rolling. Boise State women’s tennis checks in at No. 44 in the national UTR rankings! The team is back at it today vs. San Jose State at 1 p.m. MT. Preview here.

🔼 Ready To Go. Boise State women’s golf tees off at the State of Idaho Match today! Full preview here.

🔼 On Par. Chase Gorder and Reese Knox will represent Boise State in the 18-player Genesis Invitational Collegiate Showcase today at Bluejack National in Montgomery, Texas. The individual champion earns an exemption into the 2026 Corales Puntacana Championship on the PGA Tour (July 16-19). Boise State has owned this event, with Cole Rueck winning back-to-back titles in 2024 and 2025 to become the showcase's first two-time champion. This marks the first Genesis appearance for both Gorder and Knox, and BSU is again one of just a few programs with multiple representatives. The Broncos carry a 72-43-3 team record with two team and individual championships this season.
