🔼 Nothing But Net Results. Boise State forward Tatum Thompson's dominant week was recognized by the Mountain West on Monday as the conference named the junior the MW Player of the Week.
The Woodinville, Wash., native led the Broncos to two home victories on the week, recording double-doubles in both contests. Between the two games, Thompson averaged 18.0 points, 12.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game while shooting 47.6% from the floor. She converted 16 of her 19 free throw attempts, added five steals defensively, and committed only three turnovers in 65 minutes of action.

🔼 Very On Brand. Boise State Football sure knows how to make an impression.

🔼 Raising the Bar. Emily Lopez took home the bars title as Boise State placed second at the Wasatch Classic. The Broncos (195.625) tied San Jose State (195.625), defeated Iowa State (194.575), but fell to Arizona State (195.675).
Lopez earned her second bars title of the season (and 15th of her career), scoring a 9.925 on the event. Emma Loyim was the team-high scorer on beam and floor, tying-second and tying-third, respectively, overall.
Congrats to Kurata and Haddouch on their 7-6(5) doubles victory over a mixed Illinois and Columbia team on the opening day of the Fighting Illini Invite.

🔼 Tennis Tune-Up. The Boise State men's tennis team traveled to the University of Illinois for a preseason tune-up at the Fighting Illini Invite against Illinois and Columbia. The tournament was a singles and doubles format with no team competition.
The Broncos competed against two of the top teams in the nation, including No. 8 Columbia. Leading the Broncos in singles was freshman Lukas Velik, who recorded a pair of singles victories, while Carson Baker and Taiyo Kurata each recorded one.
In doubles, the Broncos saw victories from Idriss Haddouch and Taiyo Kurata and Carson Baker and Jett Middleton on Friday. On Sunday, Dylan Jaen and Julius Seifert recorded a doubles victory, 7-6(5), over the 52nd-ranked team in the nation in Illinois' Tyler Bowers and Zach Viiala.
