πŸ”Ό Keep It Rolling. No. 12 Boise State finished its 2024 Mountain West slate with an undefeated record after defeating Wyoming, 17-13, Saturday at War Memorial Stadium. It marks the fourth time Boise State has finished with an undefeated conference record over the past six seasons and earns the Broncos a spot in the 2024 Old Trapper MW Football Championship. Ashton Jeanty powered the Broncos offensively, finishing with 169 yards and a rushing touchdown and became the first Bronco in program history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a season.

πŸ”Ό Senior Day Success. Boise State volleyball’s Anabel Kotzakov led the Broncos with a double-double and a school-record seven service aces as the team cruised past Fresno State in three sets on Senior Day. The win gave the Blue and Orange an 18-10 overall record and a 10-8 Mountain West mark to close the regular season.

πŸ”Ό Island Dub. Boise State men’s basketball’s Tyson Degenhart's 25 points powered the Broncos to an 83-69 victory over Hampton in the opening round of the Cayman Islands Classic on Sunday. The Broncos started strong, opening a 41-21 halftime lead fueled by Degenhart's offensive efficiency and a team defensive effort that held the Pirates to 26% shooting in the first half. Boise State led for all but the opening seconds, maintaining a double-digit margin throughout the game.

πŸ”Ό Team Win. Boise State women's basketball had its best performance of the season on Sunday, utilizing a complete team effort to dismantle Weber State, 96-46, in ExtraMile Arena. The win marks the team’s second 50+ point margin of victory this season and secures its seventh 6-0 start in program history. Elodie Lalotte shined in the win, tallying a season-high 19 points off the bench on an 8-of-8 performance from the field.

πŸ”Ό Closing It Out. Boise State cross country’s Kaiya Robertson finished 53rd and Joe Hudson placed 101st in the 2024 NCAA Cross Country Championships to wrap up the Broncos’ season. The Broncos will now look to the start of the indoor track & field season, which begins Dec. 6 at the Silver State Invitational and Multi.

πŸ”Ό Learning Opportunity. Boise State soccer is hosting its Winter Finishing & Goalkeeping Academy at the beginning of next year, but registration is open now!
