BRONCOS HIT THE ROAD 

  • Boise State (11-6, 1-3 MW) has another full weekend ahead as the Broncos travel to play at Nevada in Reno, Nev., on Friday at 11 a.m. (MT), then Fresno State (13-9, 3-1 MW) in Fresno, Calif., on Sunday at noon (MT). 
  • Nevada has lost three straight — all in conference play — against New Mexico (4-2), UNLV (4-1) and San Diego State (4-0) and enters this home match with a 8-8 overall record and 1-3 MW mark.
  • Fresno State is currently tied for second-place in the conference standings at 3-1 and 13-9 overall. The Bulldogs — who are 3-2 in their last five contests — are coming off a road sweep over San Diego State (4-3) and UNLV  (4-3). They will host Utah State (3-1 MW) Friday, prior to hosting the Broncos on Sunday.  

LAST TIME OUT

  • Boise State men's tennis was home for two Mountain West Conference matches this past week earning a split. The Broncos lost a 4-3 heartbreaker Friday afternoon to New Mexico, then regrouped to defeat Air Force 4-1 on Sunday. 
  • It took a third-set tiebreaker to decide Friday's match with New Mexico. The team score was tied 3-3 with the decisive point coming down to No. 6 singles where eventually, the Lobo outlasted the Bronco 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (5) to capture the deciding point for New Mexico. Boise State recorded wins from Simon Arca Costas, Simon Stenlund and Wyatt DeMulling in the loss to UNM. 
  • On Sunday against Air Force it was a different story as the Broncos dominated the Falcons to claim their first MW victory. After they dropped the doubles point, the Broncos rolled in singles claiming four-straight wins by DeMulling, Stenlund, Max Blancaneaux and Luka Soskic, respectively. The home split improved Boise State to 11-6 overall and 1-3 in conference play.
