Lady Broncos Lead UC Riverside 4-2 in 7th
Devon Bridges' two-run hit put the Broncos ahead and Boise State leads heading into the final inning.
The Run Holds Up--Boise State Wins 1-0
That's the nature of softball--you never know what's going to win the game for you. Boise State's two hits in the fifth were the only two hits they would get the entire game, but it was enough to defeat homestanding San Diego 1-0.
Barnes' Single Drives in Bridges
Boise State has struck first in the top of the fifth. After a leadoff single by Devon Bridges and a walk to Mackenzie White, Brittany McCray struck out, but Sarah Barnes came through with a single. Broncos 1-0.
Boise State Softball Team Locked in Pitcher's Dual
Devon Bridges' single in the top of the fifth was Boise State's first hit of the game, which is scoreless between the Broncos and San Diego.
VanderMalle Takes Second
Highlights for the Bronco women's track team are hard to find, but Marissa VanderMalle finished second tonight in the 5,000-meter run. Congrats to Marissa for getting it done!

Battle In Mountain West Track is for 2-3-4
New Mexico has a seven-point lead heading into the final day of the Mountain West Conference Track & Field Championships in Nampa, but the Lobos are well on schedule to dominate the event.
In preliminary top times yesterday in the running events and seeds for the field events, the Lobos are slated to finish with 168 points, which would easily outdistance the field. Conversely, Wyoming, which is currently in fourth place, is on pace for 67 total team points, considerably lower than everyone else.
In between are Air Force, Boise State and Colorado State, which should battle it out for second, third and fourth. Currently, the Broncos are projected to get 112 points to 109 for Air Force and 108 for Colorado State. Of course, anything can still happen, and perhaps the home crowd can push the Broncos over the top.
Here is what Boise State must do to make up ground and win the championship:
1. The Broncos will have to take care of business in the events they are expected to do well just to hold their projected position of second. In the 400, Boise State is slated to score 25 points. The quintet of Jordin Andrade (47.78), Manoah Wesson (48.68), Bret Scheve (49.06), Jeff Daw (49.26) and Paul Robertson (49.48) did their part in qualifying. There are two Lobo student-athletes in the mix. If everyone runs as they did in preliminaries, Boise State will score a little under projection. The five Broncos mentioned above can do a lot for their team's chances if they can relegate the two New Mexico runners to the bottom, but they are both upperclassmen and it appears it will be tough to do that.
In the 60-meter hurdles, Rolando Trammel and Justin Malnes are seeded 2-4 for 12 team points. New Mexico isn't much of a factor here, so Trammel and Malnes need to at least do that well tonight.. In the 200, Daveon Collins, Wesson and Robertson are projected to score 19 points to 8 for New Mexico. Again, the Broncos will be doing well just to keep pace with that projection, but could pick up a few more points if they can finish ahead of the Lobo sprinter. Chase Sexton and Will Lohman are projected to score 14 in the shot put, a 2-3 finish.
Obviously, there's not much room for improvement when you're already expected to do as well as those four events. Realistically, there's only a net difference of 10 points either way in the three events. But Boise State must at least score 70 points in those three events to have any chance at a team title.
2. Boise State has to have someone step up and upset a Lobo in an unexpected event. Head-to-head performance is the best chance to make a difference in a team championship but unfortunately, the events that New Mexico is best in are events in which Boise State has little chance, and vice versa. Boise State will have to score about 28 points more than projection and New Mexico will have to score about 28 points less for the Broncos to win. Admittedly, it's a tall order.
The three best events to make a dent are the 800, the mile and the high jump. New Mexico is projected to score 22 in the 800. Bryce Bergevin and Andy Robertson are Boise State's qualifiers in this event. The Broncos' only real hope is for Bergevin and Robertson to turn the seeds upside down and go 1-2 in the 800 and dominate the Lobos, plus have Alexander Lindsay of Air Force finish ahead of the New Mexico runners. That would be a plus 17 for Boise State and a minus 15 for New Mexico.
Drew O'donoghue McDonald and Jeff Howard are Boise State's best hopes in the mile, and will need to score heavily (at least 14 points) for the Broncos to have a chance at winning the Mountain West championship. Boise State's other best chance to pick up points is in the high jump, where New Mexico is slated to score 14. Roderick Townsend is projected to score one point here, and will need at least a second-place finish to give his team a chance.
Come on out to Jackson's Track and be the difference the Broncos need to win this thing.

Hughey Finishes 4th in 100 Butterfly
Stevie Hughey finished fourth in the 100-yard butterfly tonight, but Boise State is getting blown out of the water. The Broncos are second as a team, but trail San Diego State by a whopping 143 points. I remember last year, a Bronco fan (no doubt a father of a student-athlete) got upset when I hinted that San Diego State would be close. And now here they are dominating.

Boise State's Emma Bates and Lauren Lucas both qualified for the final in the mile at Jackson's Track in Nampa. Morgan Mosby of Air Force (5:00.52) owned the top time as the Falcons also had two qualifiers while New Mexico qualified three distance runners.
First Final in Nampa
Roderick Townsend and Adam Ruggiero combined for eight team points in the first event of the weekend at the 2013 Mountain West Conference Championships. Townsend finished third in the heptathlon while Ruggiero was seventh. That ties the Broncos with Air Force for second, while Richard York put New Mexico in first with 10 points.

Bronco Gymnasts Jump From 21-16
I've laid it out for the Boise State gymnasts--score a minimum of 196 or give up any chance for Nationals. It appears they're listening, because they put up their first score above 196 this year against BYU Friday.
Lo and behold, the Bronco women jumped from 21-16 in this week's national gymnastics rankings. Imagine that. And imagine what a score of 196 in their next meet might do for them.

Broncos Knock Off UNLV 77-72
Boise State's on-again, off-again 2012-2013 basketball team downed highly-regarded UNLV tonight, 77-72, in Taco Bell Arena.
That just happens to be the third highly-regarded team the Broncos have topped this season, as the Rebels join Creighton and Wyoming as Boise State victims. Perhaps no coincidence that Jeff Eliorriaga, the quarterback of the Bronco team, returned to action tonight after a serious concussion.
Whatever the reason, Coach Leon Rice's team didn't play at all like the team that was defeated by double digits by both Nevada and Colorado State. The Broncos led from start to finish in knocking off UNLV. Anthony Drmic led Boise State with 22 points, including three three-pointers and 9-of-10 shooting from the free-throw line. Derrick Marks added 17 while Ryan Watkins had 12 points and Elorriaga 11.
Anthony Bennett poured in 25 points to lead the Rebels while Anthony Marshall had 18.
Boise State is now 15-6 with the win but just 3-4 in Mountain West Conference play. UNLV falls to 17-5 on the season and 4-3 in the MWC. Boise State faces a tough road conference next Wednesday against San Diego State before hosting Wyoming one week from tonight. Rumor has it the Boise State students have something special planned--might be a good idea to be on hand to witness it.
