NCAA Regionals Announced Next Week

Boise State will find out its seed and which of the nation's six Regionals the Broncos will compete in for the 2012 NCAA Regional Gymnastics Championships next week, most likely Monday. There are Regionals in both Salt Lake City and Seattle, although the Broncos could be sent elsewhere.  It appears Boise State will finish the regular season ranked either 14th or 15th.

Lady Broncos Win 22nd Straight Home Game, 2-1 Over Weber State

This one was a thriller.  After 5 1/2 scoreless innings, the fireworks ignited for both teams.  Devon Bridges hit a two-run solo homer in the bottom of the sixth and Allie Crump followed with a homer of her own to put Boise State up 2-0.  Crump's blow would prove vital.


Janel Cunningham came up and blasted a homer in the top of the seventh to cut the Bronco lead to one.  But Aubray Zell settled down and got two ground outs to win the game, Boise State's 22nd straight victory at Mountain Cove Field.


The two teams meet tomorrow afternoon at 2.
