Boise State Golf Team Finishes 6th

Pretty much only one way to go from here--up!

Boise State finished sixth place this weekend at the Mountain West Golf Championships.

Four School Records Fall at Border Clash

Four Bronco student-athletes set school records in the Border Clash at Dona Larsen Park in Boise.

Mackenzie Flannigan broke her own school record set last year in the 100 meters, running the distance in 11:57.  Jordin Andrade broke his own mark of 50.11 in the 400, finishing in 49.64.  David Elliott, broke a 20-year-old record in the 800, posting a time of 1:49.97.  Elliott, who also holds the 1,500-meter mark, joins Jarred Rome (discus, shot put) as the only male Broncos to hold multiple school records in outdoor track and field.

Allison Jeffries topped her own school mark in the pole vault, clearing 13-feet, 6.25-inches.

Boise State will try to improve upon their terrible performance at the Mountain West Indoor Championships, when they compete in the Outdoor Championships May 14-16.

Boise State #61 in Learfield Cup Final Winter Standings

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.

Patton Loses 7-5, 6-2

The match is indeed tied at 3.  Whoever wins #4 wins the match.

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?

Chargui Leading Patton 5-2

Nevada serving for the match that will tie the team score at 3 apiece.

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. 

Roskilly with a Break at #5

Lewis up 4-1 after winning first set.
