Boise State Men and Women Getting Creamed

Fresno men 46, Boise State 25 at halftime.

Fresno women 41, Boise State 23 at half.

Which school has the higher-rated teams?  You'd be confused by those scores!

Bronco-Beaver Wrestling Match Rescheduled

The Boise State-Oregon State wrestling match that had to be canceled earlier this month due to poor Portland weather has been rescheduled.

The two teams will meet in the Border War Saturday, March 8 in Taco Bell Arena.  As the #17 gymnastics team will be taking on Seattle Pacific that night, Bronco fans will be treated to a second "Beauty and the Beast" event.
 

Bates Wins Mountain West Women's Track Award

Emma Bates, who won the 3,000 meters at the Notre Dame Invitational over the weekend, was named as the Mountain West Women's Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week.

Bates broke her own school record with a time of 9:11.98, and now ranks 19th in the nation in the event.  Her run was the third-fastest time in Mountain West Conference history.

Chandler Hutchison

Boise State Tennis Team Jumps to #15

On the strength of their second consecutive Blue Gray Championship over the weekend, Boise State moved from #41 to #15 in this week's NCAA tennis rankings.  The Broncos defeated three teams ahead of them on the way to winning the title:  #36 Alabama, #21 Clemson, and #37 VCU.

Boise State has played all their matches on the road in the last five weeks, winning eight in a row, and sports a 5-2 record against nationally-ranked opponents.  The Broncos' only two losses are to #8 Baylor and #23 Northwestern.
