11/3/2022 10:30:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Paige Bartsch's team-high 17 kills were not enough as the Boise State volleyball team fell 3-1 (25-19, 25-23, 20-25, 25-21) at San Diego State on Thursday night in a Mountain West match at Peterson Gym. The loss moved the Blue and Orange to 14-10 overall and 6-7 in league play, while SDSU improved to 7-17 and 5-8.
After opening the first set on a 2-0 run, the Broncos watched as San Diego State responded with a 4-0 run to take the lead for good.
The Broncos led 10-9 in the second set before SDSU surged into the lead with a 2-0 run to go up 11-10. Boise State would tie it up seven times down the stretch, including at 22-22 but could never regain the lead as they fell by two.
The Broncos used a 6-0 run to break a 15-15 tie open to seize control of the third set and eventually won it by five. Â
Powered by an 8-1 run, the Aztecs move from 10-9 up to 18-10 up. Boise State attempted to rally, closing within two twice, the last at 23-21, but came up short in the end as San Diego State claimed the set and the match.
