Boise State Blanks #30 Wisconsin

Boise State's tennis team came back from a disappointing loss to Kentucky to score a 4-0 win over #30 Wisconsin at the ITA Tennis Championships. The fact that the Broncos could bounce back to quickly from the thumping at the hands of Kentucky Saturday is a testament not only to the Boise State players but to one Coach Greg Patton

"[Today] was a test," Boise State head coach Greg Patton said Sunday. "We had a knife up against our throat and we were able to wiggle away from it."

Boise State won the doubles point and coasted to the surprisingly easy win.

The Broncos take on two more nationally-ranked opponents this week. Coach Patton's team challenges #25 Virginia Tech Saturday before meeting #33 Minnesota Sunday.
