🔷 ONE BIG THING

For the third time this season, Bronco soccer forward Kenzie MacMillan was named the MW Offensive Player of the Week. MacMillan earned the award following her two-goal performance over the weekend where both goals turned out to be game winners. The standout striker currently sits in second in the goals department with eight on the season.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Coming Soon. The Broncos will face off against the Wyoming Cowboys on Oct. 28 at 3:30 p.m. MT. The game will be available nationally for the fourth time this season on FS2 (FOX Sports). The game will mark the 14th consecutive season the two teams will meet, and the 13th time in conference play.

🔼 Man on the Street. Sixth-year guard Max Rice was mic’d up before Boise State men’s basketball practice to help the fans get acquainted with the team before the start of the season. Watch this short video as Rice interviews fellow teammates as well as assistant coach Mike Burns.

🔼 Mountain Tennis Time. Bronco women’s tennis is back in action tomorrow as the squad goes off to the ITA Mountain Region Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah for five days of competition starting on Oct. 18. Last season, Pauline Ernstberger made it to the round of 16 in the top flight and Shauna Heffernan picked up three wins in singles play in the second flight.
