🔼 Regular Season Champs. Boise State women's soccer lost to No. 25 Utah State 2-0, but were still able to own the title with the help of a 0-0 draw in the Wyoming at Colorado State match. As the MW Regular Season Champions, Boise State is the No. 1 seed heading into next week's conference tournament and will host the 2025 MW Soccer Championship.

🗣️ "It's a tough place to play and a very tough team. We played ourselves very well, and the fun part about it this late in the season is still learning your group and growing, which bodes very well for us in the tournament." - Jim Thomas, head coach

🔼 Orange Over Blue. Team Orange exploded for seven runs in the first two innings and made them stand up in a 7-4 victory over Team Blue to capture the 2024 Boise State Softball Fall World Series. Brook Thompson, Leah McAnally and Mykenzie Hanna, playing for Team Orange, were each named top performers of the series. Hanna and McAnally combined for four home runs in the series while Thompson pitched in three games, finishing with a 2-0 record, 10 strikeouts and a 2.62 ERA.

🔼 More Fall Ball. The Boise State women’s tennis team will head to Eugene, Ore., to compete in the Duck Invitational from Nov. 1-3. The Broncos will send seven members of the team to compete in both singles and doubles play over the three-day event. The last time out, senior Bhakti Shah and freshman Paula Schaefer paired up for the first time at the Mountain Region Championships, where they went 3-1 with a victory over the country’s No. 8 ranked duo.

🔼 Back On The Hardwood. Boise State women's basketball will open the 2024-25 season with an exhibition matchup against Bushnell on Saturday, Nov. 2, at 1 p.m. in ExtraMile Arena.
