🔼 Home Court Advantage. "Home sweet home! It feels good to be home!" said head coach Luke Shields. Boise State men's tennis cruised past the Purdue Boilermakers 6-1 Friday afternoon at the Appleton Tennis Center in Boise. It was the first victory in five attempts this season versus the Big Ten Conference as the Broncos improved to 8-9 overall.

🔼 Doing the Splits. The Boise State gymnastics team split a Sunday tri-meet, scoring 196.750 to defeat Utah State (195.950) while falling to No. 17 Oregon State (196.925). Boise State finishes the regular season at 17-5 overall and 5-0 in the Mountain West.

🔼 Advantage Broncos. With the dual tied 3-3, Lorelyz Marruffo won a third-set tiebreaker,10-8, to give Boise State women's tennis a 4-3 victory over No. 59 San Diego State Sunday at the Appleton Tennis Center.

"We knew San Diego State was a good team coming in, and I was just really proud of our players for sticking to the process and going all out,” said head coach Beck Roghaar.

🔼 They Saw The Forest Through the Trees. Sophia Knight collected three hits, and Sydney Groves blasted a grand slam to lead Boise State to a 10-3 victory over Santa Clara at the City of Trees Classic on Sunday. The win was Boise State's eighth straight (19-10), and the host Broncos completed the weekend 4-0.

🔼 Good Things Come in Twos. Boise State Beach Volleyball's Mya Jackson and Addison Wolden were named the Southland Conference Pair of the Week. This is the second consecutive week the Broncos have won the award, after Marlayna Bullington and Sierra Land received the honor on March 5.
