🔷 ONE BIG THING
Boise State beach volleyball added to its longest winning streak in program history with its ninth and tenth straight wins over Saint Mary's and No. 17 Arizona in the Broncos’ final competition at home. Each match was decided 3-2, with Boise State’s win over Arizona coming in comeback fashion. The win over the Wildcats also marks the second win over a ranked opponent on the season and the fourth in program history. Boise State finishes with a 6-0 home record, and the team’s 26 total wins are the most in program history with three matches still to play in the regular season.
🗣️ "I'm ecstatic right now. We rose to the occasion. This is big for our program and proves we're on the rise. We want to be a high-level team not only in the Pacific Northwest but in the country and this shows we can compete at that level." – Allison Voigt, head coach
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 An Honor and A Privilege. The National Football Foundation announced its 2024 Hampshire Honor Society, with six Boise State student-athletes earning recognition. Among the Broncos listed were Billy Bowens, Michael Callahan, Ben Dooley, DJ Schramm, Riley Smith and Alexander Teubner represented the Broncos on this year's list. The selections mark the ninth straight year the Broncos have had multiple award recipients.
🔼 No Quit. Boise State softball showed no quit and climbed back into the game after being down early but eventually fell to Washington, 15-9. Heading into the bottom of the fifth down 10 runs, the Broncos started to make a comeback thanks to a trio of two-run doubles from Sydney Groves Alycia Flores and Leah McAnally. After cutting the Huskies’ lead to four, the Broncos were unable to draw any closer. Boise State will now get ready to host Fresno State this weekend for a three-game series.
🔼 Closing Time. Boise State women's golf finished the 2023-24 regular season tying for ninth at the Bobcat Desert Classic, carding a team score of 16-over-par. Hannah Lim led the Broncos with a season-best 3-over-par round, tying for 22nd. Elli Gordon and Teal Matsueda each fired under-par rounds and finished in the top 40 on the leaderboard. The Broncos will now prepare to play in the MW Championship from April 16-18.
