ABOUT THE BRONCOS

LAST TIME OUT: Boise State hosted two home matches as they welcomed Weber State (March 20) and Montana State (March 21) to Appleton Tennis Center. The Broncos dominated the weekend's matches, sweeping the Wildcats 7-0 and defeating the Bobcats 6-1 to extend the team's win streak to 10 matches.

SOLID DOUBLES: Boise State has been strong in doubles this year, and a big reason for that is the tandem of Luka Soskic and Lukas Ridemar. The pair is 5-0 on the season, splitting time between the No. 2 and 3 positions. Overall, the Broncos have gone 23-9 in doubles matches winning 72 percent of the contests.

SINGLES STREAKING: Seven of eight Broncos are currently on win streaks in singles, while four of them are on streaks of six matches or more. The team as a whole has dominated singles all season long, going 56-13 (.812) across all matches. 

LAWRENCE SCIGLITANO: Sciglitano has won six straight in singles splitting time between the No. 4 thru 6 positions. The redshirt-sophomore has the most wins at the No. 6 position for the Broncos this season with 4.

WYATT DEMULLING: DeMulling was a 2020 All-MW singles honoree. This year he has gone 8-1 in singles playing primarily the three through five positions, he has an active six-match win streak going. DeMulling currently has a team-high 59 career wins in singles, 10 short of the program's top-20 list for career victories.
 
SIMON ARCA COSTAS: This year the redshirt-sophomore is a team-best 9-0 in singles having split his time between the No. 1 through 4 positions. The Spaniard won 20 singles matches last year and now has 49 career singles victories in the blue and orange. He recorded the match clincher in the MW opener at San Diego State (March 13).

BLAKE BAYLDON: Bayldon was named last week's Mountain West Men's Tennis Player of the Week after his performances against Weber State and Montana State. The Australian native was 4-0 in all his competitions and finished the week without dropping a set while playing at the No. 1 doubles and No. 1 singles positions.

BAYLDON & ARCA COSTAS: Bayldon and Arca Costas received All-MW Doubles honors after compiling a 14-2 record last year, including a 7-2 record while playing at the No. 1 position during dual competitions. This year the tandem has gone 6-1 at No. 1 doubles suffering their first loss (6-4) at San Diego State (March 13).
