For the fourth year, Boise State is going dancing in the NCAA Men's Tennis Tournament, and it's a bit of deja vu in the matchup. The Broncos will play South Florida May 8 at the home of Virginia Tech. South Florida bounced Boise State 4-0 earlier this year in the Blue Gray Tournament.

Boise State Wins Mountain West Men's Tennis Championship
Boise State finished an improbable run to capture the Mountain West Men's Tennis Championship for the fourth consecutive year in Albuquerque, New Mexico today with a 4-3 win over Nevada.
Brian Foley scored two service breaks in the third and final set, then served for the match for a dramatic victory. Boise State topped #4 seed Fresno State and #1 seed New Mexico to reach today's finals. Nevada got on the board first by winning the doubles point. Robert Allan and Moez Chargui downed Abe Hewko and Brian Foley 6-2. After Garrett Patton and Toby Mitchell won at #2 doubles, the #1 Nevada doubles team of Andrew Poustie and Fernand Sunago beat Thomas Tenreiro and Lewis Roskilly of Boise State 6-4. For the second consecutive day, that meant that Boise State would have to win four of the six singles matches to win the championship. Hewko (#6 singles) and Mitchell (#3 singles) both won first sets, with Abe winning 6-2 and Toby 6-0. Roskilly captured a late break at #5 singles, and went on to win his opening set 6-4. But when late breaks at both #1 and #2 singles went against the Broncos, Nevada grabbed a huge momentum swing. Chargui topped Patton 7-5 in the opening set, while Andrada defeated Tenreiro 6-4. Hewko won his match 6-2, 6-2 to even the team score at one apiece. Mitchell followed shortly afterwards with a 6-0, 6-2 win. Roskilly then scored a break in his second set and emerged victorious 6-4, 6-2 at #5 singles. Boise State held a 3-1 lead at this point, and was one match away from victory. Tenreiro fell at #2 singles, 6-4, 6-3, and when Patton went down at #1 singles, 7-5, 6-2, the scoreboard read Boise State 3, Nevada 3. That focused all attention on #4 singles between Foley and Sunago, a match that had gone back and forth all day. Foley was down two set points in the opening set before battling back and winning 7-6 in a tense tiebreaker. He broke serve early to go up 3-1, and scored another break to lead 5-2. Brian then went up 40-0, setting up four match points. Sunago battled back to save two of them, but with the score 40-30, a Sunago swing ended up in the net, and the victorious Broncos rushed towards the winning Foley to celebrate their championship. Boise State won its fourth consecutive Mountain West title--the Broncos have still never lost a match in conference championship play. Coach Greg Patton's team will advance to the NCAA Championships against a team to be named later. The win gave Boise State its fifth conference title this school year, and ensures the Broncos will get at least 25 more points in the Learfield Cup. The Learfield Cup is awarded annually to the college with the best overall sports department. Boise State currently ranks #61 in the nation.

Foley With Another Break
Brian Foley just ripped a backhand to win another game. He goes up 4-1 in second set.
Update on Mountain West Tennis Championship
The match is tied at 3, with the #4 singles between Foley of Boise State and Sunago deciding the championship.
Foley leads 3-1 with Sunago serving at 30-all.
Foley leads 3-1 with Sunago serving at 30-all.
Foley with a Break in Second Set
He leads 2-1, and it appears that the match at #4 will be for the championship. Can he hold on, or does Nevada get the win?
Tenreiro Loses at #2 Singles
Thomas loses 6-4, 6-3, so it is now Boise State 3, Nevada 2. The Wolf Pack is favored at #4 singles, so unless Patton can rally at #1, it's going to be nervous time.
Roskilly Wins 6-4, 6-2 at #5 Singles
Boise State leads the match 3-1, but must find another player to win. Two of the three Broncos are trailing in their individual matches.
Tenreiro Loses Break
Thomas is down 4-2 after losing first set. So the match appears to be coming down to #4 singles.
To recap, Nevada captured the doubles point to put tremendous pressure on Boise State.
Abe Hewko beat Robert Margitfalvi on Court 6 for a 6-2, 6-2 win to tie the match. Toby Mitchell followed with a 6-0, 6-2 win at #3 singles to put Boise State up 2-1. But that is very much a tenuous lead.
We say that because Moez Chargui leads Garrett Patton 7-5, 4-1 at #1 singles, and Ryan Andrada leads Thomas Tenreiro 6-4, 4-3 at #2 singles.
If those two matches hold, Foley must beat Fernando Sunago for Boise State to win the match.

We say that because Moez Chargui leads Garrett Patton 7-5, 4-1 at #1 singles, and Ryan Andrada leads Thomas Tenreiro 6-4, 4-3 at #2 singles.
If those two matches hold, Foley must beat Fernando Sunago for Boise State to win the match.
Mitchell Wins 6-0, 6-2 at #3 Singles
Boise State leads 2-1, but again, Nevada's momentum switch at #1 and #2 singles puts them ahead. The Broncos either need to turn that around or win at #4 singles.
Hewko Wins 6-2, 6-2
The match is tied at 1, but Nevada has the advantage right now in the singles matches.
Patton Down a Break in Second Set
He lost the opening set 7-5 in controversial fashion, and now is behind 3-0 in second set.
Roskilly Wins First Set 6-4
Lewis becomes the third Bronco to win two sets, but Boise State needs a fourth singles player to win.
Tenreiro Loses First Set 6-4
So those two late breaks on #1 and #2 singles really critical right now, and Nevada has two first sets.
Tenreiro Loses Break
Nevada with a big momentum shift, getting late breaks on 1 and 2 and serving for first sets in each.
Patton Loses a Late Break
Nevada serving for the first set at #1 singles. Patton called the ball out on a no-add point and was overruled by the umpire.
Hewko and Mitchell Win First Sets
Abe won 6-2 at #6 singles and Mitchell won his opening set 6-0 at #4 singles. Foley had a break in that back and forth match at #4 singles, but lost it, so #4 and #6 singles are the only matches with any breaks.
Hewko Gets a Break at #6
Abe leads 4-2 in the opening set so once again, three Broncos have service breaks in the first set. Nevada won the doubles point and leads the match 1-0.
Roskilly Loses Service
The #5 Singles now at 2-2, so now just two service breaks for Boise State. They have to win four matches to win the championship.
Roskilly Gets a Break on #5
Three Broncos are ahead now in the first set of singles play. Still a lot of tennis to go, a sport which can change on a dime.
Foley with a Break on #4 Singles
Brian Foley got a break in his match and leads 3-0. The only break thus far in the six singles matches. Boise State trails Nevada 1-0 in the Mountain West Men's Tennis Championship.
Nevada Wins Doubles Point
Broncos will need to work on doubles now and in the future--not playing smart by hitting the ball right to their opponent rather than try to find the holes.
Hewko and Foley Lose 6-2
So as we said, it will come down to #1 doubles, and Nevada just got a late break. They will serve for the match.
Patton and Mitchell Break Late, Win #2 Doubles
Garrett Patton and Toby Mitchell broke serve on the last game to win 6-4. It will likely come down to #1 doubles for the point.
Tenreiro & Roskilly Get Their Own Break
Thomas Tenreiro and Lewis Roskilly got a big win in the last game after losing service, so #1 doubles is tied at 4-4.
Tenreiro & Roskilly Down a Break
Nevada now has the advantage for the doubles point. They have breaks in both #1 and #3 doubles.
Foley & Hewko Down a Break at #3 Doubles
For the second straight day, Boise State's tennis team not playing well in doubles. They moved play inside today due to poor weather in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the Mountain West Men's Tennis Championship.
Brian Foley and Abe Hewko down 3-0 already.
Brian Foley and Abe Hewko down 3-0 already.

Boise State Wins 4-2
Coach Greg Patton has his team playing their best tennis of the season at a most opportune time.
Boise State lost the doubles point, then proceeded to win four of five singles matches to defeat #1-seed New Mexico 4-2 this afternoon in Albuquerque. The Broncos advanced to the Mountain West Championship game tomorrow against upstart Nevada. The home team won a relatively easy doubles point, with Shunji Hirooka and Augustus Ge pounding Garrett Patton and Toby Mitchell 6-0 on the second court and Mitch McDaniels and Samir Iftikhar putting away Brian Foley and Abe Hewko 7-5. Lewis Roskilly and Thomas Tenreiro upset the #60 doubles team in the nation, Hayder Sabatka and Bart Van Leijsen 6-4 in the other match. Coach Patton knows that the doubles point is important, but he met with his team and told them "Let's fight hard and show everyone what the Blue and Orange is all about, by playing hard." Garrett Patton took that advice to heart, taking a 6-3 win in the opening set of his match at #1 singles. Roskilly followed suit with a 6-1 win his first set. Tenreiro lost his set 6-3, and Hewko fell 6-4, but Foley prevailed in his opening set 6-3. When Mitchell won his first set 6-4, it meant four of the six Broncos captured opening sets. Four Broncos would have to win their singles matches for Boise State to defeat the Lobos. Patton disposed of Sabatka 6-3, 6-2 to tie the match. The tide was beginning to swing Boise State's way. Hewko responded by evening his match with a 6-2 win in the second set. Foley followed with a 6-3, 6-2 win at #4 singles, and Roskilly made it 3-1 Boise State with an impressive 6-1, 6-3 victory at #5 singles. Mitchell had a great chance to win his match, but fell in the second set 6-4. Tenreiro battled hard in the second set, but lost 3-6, 5-7. It was now 3-2 Boise State. That made the other Broncos step up, as the Lobos grabbed the momentum briefly in the ever-changing ebb and flow of college tennis. Attention of the 500-plus spectators focused on the two remaining courts. Mitchell and McDaniels were locked in a 3-3 dual in the third and final set. Hewko grabbed a 4-3 lead in the final set of his match with Rodolpho Juaregui. Juaregui was set to serve, but Hewko broke service and took a 5-3 lead. With all the pressure on him, and the Lobo fans responding loudly to any glimpse of hope, Hewko served for the set and the match. He got down early 15-30, then uncorked two killer aces. Then, when the game went to add-in point, unleashed another laser that set him up for the winner. Boise State will meet Nevada tomorrow in the championship match. Action gets underway at 11 a.m. Mountain Time. You can follow the action with a live stream on www.themwc.com.

Allie Ostrander Commits to Boise State
Allie Ostrander visited Arkansas, Boise State and Oregon, but chose the Broncos as the place where she wanted to go to school.
It was a phone call from Boise State track coach Corey Ihmels that convinced Ostrander to go with the Blue, and makes a statement that she went with Ihmels over two track & field heavyweights. Ostrander feels Boise State is a team on the rise, and is excited to come to Boise.
Ostrander registered a time of 9:59.33 in the 3,200 meters at the Big "C" Relays in Anchorage, Alaska this year, ranking her #1 in the nation at that distance. Ostrander, a senior at Kenai Central High School, owns state marks in the 1,600 and 3,200, and her times this year in the marathon beat the boys. Ostrander also is a three-time cross country champion.

Emma Bates set a school record in the 1,500 meters but still finished in 11th place at the Mt. SAC Relays in Sacramento, California. Bates ran the distance in 4:16.37, but was a full eight seconds off the pace. Emma now owns school records in the 1,500, 5000 and 10,000.

Official--Drmic Given Fifth Year of Eligibility
It seemed like a formality, but now we can say it is official. Boise State star guard Anthony Drmic has indeed been granted a medical hardship and will come back for another year. Now we can all focus on winning an NCAA Tournament game for the first time in school history.
With the improvement that several players on the basketball team made, and now this good news, Coach Leon Rice should have a better team next year than the won which won 20 games for a third straight year this past season. Although Derrick Marks was a great player for the Broncos, next year's team may be less predictable and tougher to stop. When the game was close late, opponents always knew the ball would be in Derrick's hands. Next year, they won't know where the attack is coming from.
