🎾 The Broncos women’s tennis team is 4-0 for the first time since 2013-14
🤸🏽‍♀️ Tomorrow is the annual BroncoBOLD gymnastics meet
🔷 And much, much more!

🔼 Courting Success. Zdena Safarova was named the Mountain West Player of the Week, while Maya Dutta earned MW Freshman of the week honors.

This marks the first time since 2021 Boise State has earned three weekly awards in a season, and is the first time in program history the team has swept both honors in the same week.

🏆 Go here for more on the many accomplishments that led to these accolades, including the pair’s unbeaten doubles record. 🎾

🔼 U-N-D-E-F-E-A-T-E-D. If you haven’t already done so, it’s time to put the 2025 Boise women’s tennis squad on your radar.

🔼 “Jett” Setter. Boise State redshirt-senior Jett Middleton has been named the Mountain West Men's Tennis Player of the Week for Jan. 20-26. This is his first MW Player of the Week accolade in his career. 

Middleton led the Broncos to a road split last week at the ITA Kickoff Weekend Tournament in Charlottesville, Virginia. Boise State came up just short of an upset of No. 5 Virginia 4-2, then regrouped to defeat VCU 4-0 on the second day. He played at No. 1 singles and doubles, going 1-0 at both positions.

🔼 Be BroncoBOLD. Tomorrow is our annual BroncoBOLD meet! We hope to see you there as we raise awareness about the importance of mental health.

🔼 Cold Night, Hot Deal ❄. For National Hot Cocoa Day, the first 100 fans in to our Boise State gymnastics meet tomorrow at ExtraMile Arena will receive a blue Bronco mug and a hot chocolate kit. Doors open at 6 p.m.—see you there!

🔼 Running Into the Weekend Like… The Boise State Track & Field team is ready for a split weekend. The Stan Scott Invitational will be held at the Sports Performance Indoor Center, and will be streamed on ESPN+ on Friday and Saturday.

The UW Invitational, hosted at Dempsey Indoor, will feature Boise State’s distance runners in a two-day competition.

A Team Effort. Today’s trivia question… Boise State WBB overcame a double-digit halftime deficit to rally past New Mexico, 89-80, in a high-octane contest on Tuesday evening. The Broncos had five players score in double figures, marking the first time the team has had five players score 10+ points in a game since what year?
