FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Hayley Hill and Katie McCoy recorded two wins apiece to lead Boise State to its second road victory in two days over Northern Arizona with a 157-143 win on Saturday. In all, seven Broncos accounted for nine wins out of 17 events.

The victory improved Boise State swimming and diving to 6-2 overall in duals. The Broncos have one dual remaining in the season, that coming next Saturday (Feb. 1) when they host Washington State for Senior Day at the Boise West Family YMCA and Boise City Aquatic Center at 10 a.m.

"We are really excited about how the team performed this weekend," said head coach Christine Mabile. "They made some important strides to move us up in the conference. The majority of our swims were season bests and that's exactly where we want to be going into championship season."

Hill claimed victory in the 200-yard freestyle with a 1:54.44, then followed with a time of 5:06.03 to take the 500-yard free. She accounted for 18 team points in the victory.

Sophomore Katie McCoy tallied a pair of wins as well on Saturday taking the 200-yard backstroke by clocking a time of 2:03.95. McCoy then claimed first-place in the 200-yard individual medley recording a 2:05.83. The sophomore placed fourth in the 100 back and was also a member of the Broncos 400-yard freestyle relay B team that placed second with a 3:33.02, as she accounted for 21 team points.

Five other Broncos recorded individual victories on Saturday. Madesyn Ronquillio claimed the 100 back with a 56.38.
