Breann Nesselhuf had seven kills to lead the Broncos to their third straight sweep and seventh win in 10 matches this season.

"I am really happy with the way the team played today with two solid performances heading into tomorrow's matches when the competition will pick up a notch with Little Rock (University of Arkansas-Little Rock) and Oklahoma," said head coach Shawn Garus.  "We had a lot of people step up for us today especially our young players. Leah (Stevens) had a great match against Pine Bluff (University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff) as did Taylor (Murphey). I thought our upperclassmen did a good job leading the team on the floor. Breann (Nesselhuf), Liz (Harden) and Darlene (Nwagbuo) were steady for us in this match which gave the team confidence. "

Boise State hit 43 percent for the match.  Stevens had 11 points and nine kills and Casey Rose chalked up a career high 26 assists.
