🔼 Deja Vu. For the second time this season, redshirt sophomore Avery McBride was named the Mountain West Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week. The budding Bronco McBride earned the honor for the second time this season following a pair of wins that saw her score three goals, including the game-winning score against Utah Tech. McBride is the only Bronco this season to record more than one multi-goal match, scoring three goals over two matches.

🔼 Fall Ball. Ahead of Boise State softball’s 2025 campaign, head coach Justin Shults announced the team’s fall schedule. The Broncos begin fall action on Friday, September 27 at 3:30 p.m. against Northwest Nazarene. Two days later, the Broncos will be at the College of Southern Idaho for a noon matchup.

🔼 Save The Date…and Time. Boise State and Washington State, the two future conference foes, will officially kick off their matchup at 8 p.m. on FOX Sports on September 28. This will be the fourth time in the series history that Washington State will make a trip to Boise to play on The Blue and the seventh meeting pitting the two programs against each other. The 2024 meeting between the Broncos and the Cougars is courtesy of the Mountain West/Pac-12 Scheduling Alliance for this season, but the game will not count in the MW standings.

🔼 Here To Stay. Boise State women's tennis head coach Beck Roghaar is here to stay after inking a two-year contract extension. The contract adds to the one year that remained on Roghaar's contract, keeping him with Boise State through the 2027 season. A two-time conference coach of the year, Roghaar is entering his 14th season at the helm of the Boise State women's tennis team. He has coached the team to nine winning seasons, and his 156 wins are the second-most in program history.

🗣️ "I love being a Boise State Bronco. This place is special. It's meant so much to me as a student-athlete and as a coach. The opportunity to work alongside so many passionate and talented people in this environment every day is truly a blessing." - Beck Roghaar
