#16 Boise State bounced back from a disappointing effort last week for a win on the road over tough BYU 195.750 to 194.750.
Boise State started out with a solid 48.875 on bars and impressed the judges with a 49.450 on vault, the second-best team total in school history. After a lower than expected 48.175 on floor, the Lady Broncos ended the day with a 49.250 on beam to clinch the victory. Even more important, the beam was the apparatus that prevented Boise State from winning last weekend and they came back with a score that is the seventh-best in school history in that event.
As co-head coach Neil Resnick said after the meet, the Broncos "have now scored 49 on every event this season." "We look forward to next week and the opportunity to do it all in one meet." That's really the only thing keeping Boise State from being one of the Top 10 teams in the country.
Senior Amy Glass won titles on the beam, floor and the all-around. It's good to have her back and performing at that level. Glass rang up a 9.90 on beam to earn her 11th career win, #3 all-time at Boise State for beam wins. Glass achieved a 9.850 on floor to win that event and her 39.450 overall score was the 15th-best ever at Boise State. Glass has now won 15 all-around titles, #2 in school history. Glass also scored 9.90 on vault to tie for second and finished tied for fourth on bars with an excellent 9.80.

"I am really proud of the beam team," said co-head coach Tina Bird. "They stepped it up and finished the meet strong. It's a test of character to have to make up some tenths on your last event, and my team showed they won't be rattled."
