🔼 On the Knight Watch. Boise State sophomore Sophia Knight was named to the D1Softball Preseason Top 100, Monday.

Last season, Knight became the first Bronco in school history to become a Freshman All-American when she received the honor from Softball America. The 2024 Mountain West Freshman of the Year ranked fifth nationally and led NCAA freshman with 85 hits. She was tops in the Mountain West with a .405 batting average.
