📈 STOCK UP

🔼 In Sync. Boise State's Sierra Land and Marlayna Bullington have been named the Southland Conference Beach Volleyball Pair of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday. This marks the third consecutive week that a Boise State pair has earned the award and the second time that Land and Bullington have received the accolade; the last time was on March 5. It is also Land's fourth weekly conference honor in her career.

🔼 Vaulting Over the Competition. Senior Emily Lopez was tabbed the Mountain West Co-Vault Specialist of the Week for the second time this season. This followed her performance in the Broncos' final home meet of the 2024 season on March 17, during which she matched her career-high score of 9.925 on the apparatus, tying for first. This marked her 10th event win of the season and the 26th in her career. In total, Lopez tallies 10 accolades this season and 25 weekly awards during her career.

🔼 Making Her Mark. Fresh off a Mountain West Player of the Week honor, Boise State first baseman Sydney Groves was named D1Softball National Player of the Week. Against Santa Clara on March 16, Groves homered twice and knocked in four runs. She blasted a grand slam in Sunday's victory over Santa Clara.

🔼 Best Putt Forward. The Boise State women's golf team concluded competition at the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational, finishing 11th at 881 (+17). Leia Chung paced the Blue and Orange, tying for 19th with a 215 (-1), including a 69 (-3) in the second round. She was one of three Broncos to end a round under par, as Teal Matsueda fired a 71 (-1) in the opening round, and Franca Polla closed the tournament with a 71 of her own.
