🔼 All Around Effort. Ashton Jeanty ran for 149 yards and two touchdowns and Maddux Madsen threw for 307 yards and four scores as No. 15 Boise State routed San Diego State 56-24 on Friday night for its sixth straight victory. Wide receiver Latrell Caples shined as he led Boise State in receiving with 90 yards on six catches and a career-high three touchdowns. Defensively, Boise State held the Aztecs to 256 total yards, the lowest yardage the Broncos have conceded all season.

🗣️ "Maddux played elite tonight and I still believe there's a lot more in the tank for him. I know there's going to be a couple of things where he can grow, but he played big time tonight with what he did with the football and running for some first downs. I'm very proud of him." - Spencer Danielson, head coach

🔼 Crossing The Line. The Boise State women secured second and third-place finishes at the 2024 Mountain West Championships, guiding the team to an overall second-place finish. Yasmin Marghini finished as the runner-up while Kaiya Robertson continued her streak of top-six finishes, crossing the line in third. The men placed three in the top 20, earning fourth place as a team.

🔼 Another Sweep. Boise State volleyball cruised past the Nevada Wolf Pack on the road in Reno, collecting its ninth sweep of the season to improve to 15-8 overall and 7-5 in Mountain West play. Boise State outhit Nevada .314 percent to .092 percent, but the difference in the match was Nevada's 29 attack errors compared to six by the Broncos. Paige Bartsch recorded a team-high nine kills with three block assists.

🔼 Much Success. Boise State beach volleyball ended the City of Trees Classic resoundingly, with eight Bronco duos finishing with undefeated marks on the final day of the two-day event. The Broncos completed the day with a 14-3 total record across all three divisions on Sunday. Two Boise State pairs finished the weekend with an undefeated record. Charlee Ellena and Emilia Guerra-Acuña finished 3-0 in the Silver Division while Anika Christensen and Nora Hayd went 4-0 in the Bronze Division.

🔼 Double Up. Three players put up double figures as Boise State women's basketball raced past Bushnell, 87-38, in an exhibition contest on Saturday. Teryn Gardner had an impressive performance in her Bronco debut, scoring a team-high 15 points and pulling down five rebounds while Tatum Thompson added a double-double for the squad, finishing with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

🔼 Leading The Way. Senior Bhakti Shah led the Broncos in singles finishing 3-0 on the weekend with victories over opponents from Oregon, Gonzaga, and Washington State, as the Boise State women's tennis team finished play at the Duck Invitational. In the three-day event, Shah won two of her three matches in straight sets. Fellow senior Ariadna Briones Ginesta also had a strong performance, posting a 2-1 record in singles play.
