Boise State Tennis Team Defeats #48 San Diego State 6-1

Better yet, a conference win for the men.  The Broncos face rival #26 Fresno State Saturday morning at 11 a.m.  Would be great to have a large contingent to root against the Bulldogs!

Oregon Wins 6-4

The Ducks get a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth.  Boise State not quite there yet.

Oregon Ties Boise State

Game headed to extra innings.  Boise State just can't get the key hit or the key out.  The Lady Broncos have made four errors in the game.

Tara Glover's Single Scores Two

Boise State is once again in the lead.  Tara Glover's single in the seventh has scored two to make it 4-3, Broncos.  This is the third time Boise State has been ahead in the three-game series.

Two-Run Homer Puts Oregon in Front

Boise State is finding what it takes to be a Top 25 team.  They have played Oregon close in two of the three games, in which the game could have gone either way, and might end up losing all three.

Oregon Error Allows Second Boise State Run

Runners on first and third with two out in the Bronco sixth, Boise State temporarily taking a 2-1 lead.

Crump Singles in Tying Run

After a force-out at home, Allie Crump singled to right to score a run.  Here's the kicker:  The runner on second was thrown out on a single to right field.  Boy, sign that gal up to the major leagues if she can throw out a runner going from second to third, who was moving once the ball hit the ground.  

Boise State Has Bases Loaded in Sixth, No One Out

This is the key point in the game.  Either Boise State scores two runs or more and wins the game, or does not score and loses.

Oregon Gets a Run in the Fourth

A leadoff double and a single have produced the game's first run, and Oregon takes a 1-0 lead in the fourth.  


I know that Boise State's hitters are every bit as good as Oregon's, but they haven't shown it in Eugene.

Boise State & Oregon Scoreless Through 3

The Broncos really need to get one of the three games.

Felix Leads Decathlon at Texas Relays

Kurt Felix of Boise State leads after one day of the decathlon at the Texas Relays in Austin.  


Felix has 4,194 points, two points ahead of hometown favorite Isaac Murphy of Texas.  Duke's Curtis Beach, the runner-up last year at the NCAA Championships, has 3,911 points.


Felix also led the heptathlon at the NCAA Indoor Championships, but a no-height in the pole vault sent him near the bottom of the field.
