๐ผ Commanding the Court. Boise State WBB overcame a double-digit first-half deficit to take down Nevada, 61-53, Saturday afternoon in ExtraMile Arena. Three Broncos scored in double figures in the win, led by a 14-point performance from Mya Hansen.
Trailing 29-19 with 4:10 left in the second period, the Broncos went on a 20-6 run over the next 10 minutes to take control of the game. After a back-and-forth fourth quarter that featured six lead changes, Dani Bayes converted a corner 3-pointer with just over two minutes remaining to put the Blue and Orange up seven and help seal the victory.

๐ผ Advantage Broncos. The Boise State women's tennis team started the spring campaign with a dominant 7-0 win over Weber State.

Maya Dutta, Zdena Safarova, Paula Schaefer and Masa Viriant each made their spring debuts in the Blue and Orange. Dutta and Safarova won at No. 1 doubles and all four student-athletes captured wins in singles.
