📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Keep On Rolling. Boise State Heisman candidate Ashton Jeanty rushed for 209 yards and three touchdowns to help lead the Broncos past Nevada, 28-21, in front of the sixth-largest crowd at Albertsons Stadium on Saturday night. The win also marked the program’s 700th all-time victory. Tight end Matt Lauter caught five passes for 61 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter while Ty Benefield finished with a team-high eight tackles.
🔼 Runner Up. Boise State women's soccer lost to nationally-ranked Utah State 2-1 in the title match of the Mountain West Championship on Saturday night. Jillian Anderson put the Broncos on the board in the 21st minute to tie the match, but in the 25th minute, the Aggies took the lead and never let up. At the conclusion of the match, Genevieve Crenshaw, Carly Cross and Morgan Padour were named to the 2024 MW All-Tournament team.
🔼 Big Win. Boise State women’s basketball forward Abby Muse secured a steal with 17 seconds left and the Broncos hit four free throws down the stretch to solidify a win over Colorado, 50-47, on Sunday in ExtraMile Arena. The win was the program’s first over a Power 5/4 opponent since 2017. Freshman Teryn Gardner netted a team-high 10 points, shooting 3-of-5 from the field and 2-of-4 from the 3-point line, and Abby Muse became the 24th player in program history to eclipse 1,000 career points.
🔼 Great Battle. Boise State volleyball’s Paige Bartsch had a season-high 23 kills, but it was not enough as the Broncos fell 3-1 to Mountain West leader Colorado State in Bronco Gym. With the loss, Boise State moved to 16-9 overall and 8-7 in conference play, good for sixth place.
🗣️ “…I was really proud to see how we battled back and found ourselves in the match late, winning a tough third set and being right there in the 20s during the fourth set, that showed a lot about our team.” - Shawn Garus, head coach

🔼 Tough Road Test. Despite battling back from a first-half deficit, Boise State fell short to San Francisco, 84-73, at War Memorial on Saturday night. Tyson Degenhart led Boise State with a game-high 25 points, shooting 8-of-15 from the field and adding seven rebounds. Alvaro Cardenas chipped in 11 points, while Andrew Meadow added 12 points and nine rebounds.
🔼 The End, For Now. After winning their first two matches, freshman Maya Dutta and sophomore Zdena Safarova's run came to an end in the quarterfinals at the ITA Conference Masters where they fell to a duo from Appalachian State. Dutta and Safarova wrap up their debut fall season together with an impressive 11-5 record.
