WHAT'S NEXT?

The Boise State women's tennis team (10-4, 4-2 MW) hits the road again for two Mountain West matches against Nevada and Fresno State in Fresno, Calif. With four matches remaining on the year and a tight race atop the MW conference standings, each match is quickly becoming more important to how the final standings will shape out.

THE OPPONENTS

THE NEVADA WOLF PACK: Nevada holds a record of 5-7 coming into the match, but have had a down year in conference with a 0-6 record. After starting the season 5-1, the Wolf Pack have entered a slump, losing their last six matches. However, the Broncos have struggled against the Wolf Pack in years past, going 1-4 against them since 2010.

THE FRESNO STATE BULLDOGS: Fresno State is currently tied with Boise State for third in the conference with both teams sporting 4-2 marks in the league. These will be the first conference matches at home for the Bulldogs; a place where they have an impressive5-1 record overall.

LAST TIME OUT

Boise State was on the road in Logan, Utah, for matches against Utah State and MW leading San Jose State. The Broncos handled their business in the first match of the weekend, beating the Aggies 4-1 behind impressive doubles and singles performances from Holly Stewart.

The second match did not go so well for the Broncos, as they fell to the undefeated Spartans 4-1 in a match that was closer than the score indicates. The Blue and Orange were a tiebreaker away from winning the doubles point and were close in the unfinished singles matches, but ultimately fell in the end as the Spartans continue to solidify their case as the best in the MW.

STATS TO WATCH FOR

True-freshman Nicole Discenza has quietly put together a very impressive season for the Broncos. She is currently in the middle of a six-match win streak in singles – the longest active streak on the team – and has not lost a conference singles match this season. Discenza and fellow freshman Pauline Ernstberger (9-1 in singles) have both shined in their first seasons in the Blue and Orange.

AT THE HELM

Beck Roghaar is in his eleventh year in charge of the Broncos and has led his teams to winning records in seven of those seasons. The two-time conference coach of the year honoree holds a 125-99 record. He has also had nine of his teams earn ITA All-Academic Team recognition.
