🔼 Highly Offensive. Following an impressive season as an attacker, forward Carly Cross was named the 2024 Mountain West Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Year. The Broncos also earned five all-conference selections, with Genevieve Crenshaw and Cross headlining with first-team honors. Fifth-year Morgan Padour received All-MW Second Team distinctions, while Jillian Anderson and Jasmine Young earned a spot on the MW All-Newcomer Team.

🔼 First Won Done. Boise State women's basketball used a strong second half to cruise past Eastern Oregon, 87-57, in the first regular season game of the season. Four Broncos finished the game with double-digit points, led by Elodie Lalotte who shot 9-of-12 from the floor to finish with 18 points. Next up, Boise State will host Colorado on Sunday, Nov. 10, in ExtraMile Arena.

🔼 A Worthy Award. Boise State quarterback Maddux Madsen has been named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week following his career day in the Broncos' 56-24 win over San Diego State.
