Good Morning, Bronco Nation! ICYMI! The Boise State softball team and New Mexico split a Mountain West softball doubleheader, Sunday. The Broncos (28-12, 7-6 MW) dropped the opener 2-1 and took game two 6-3.

And to say this 3-run homer by Mykenzie Hanna to extend the lead in game two to 6-2 was a highlight is an understatement! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ
