The Broncos defeated both Ottawa (Ariz.) and Arizona Christian by 5-0 scores.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Boise State was dominant in a pair of road sweeps Tuesday afternoon in Scottsdale, Ariz., where they swept both Ottawa (Ariz.) and Arizona Christian by 5-0 scores. Thirteen Broncos contributed to the two victories led by Sierra Land and Rorianna Chartier who won in straight sets at No. 2 pair versus Ottawa and at No. 1 against Arizona Christian.
"I think our team did a really good job today. We practiced the last couple of days on some things that we needed to fix after this past weekend at Grand Canyon," said Boise State Head Coach Allison Voigt. "I thought everyone executed well and that was really good to see. Arizona Christian and Ottawa were really good teams for us to play against today and it gave us a chance to use some pairings that were different from what we saw last weekend."
Boise State's top tandem of Erin Martin and Yasmin Tan only played once on Tuesday, winning in straight sets over Ottawa's Katie Dizon and Kate Pestova 21-10, 21-19 before taking the second contest off.
Land and Chartier began the day competing at No. 2 pair in the win over Ottawa defeating their opponents 21-16, 21-13. They then moved up to the top position against Arizona Christian where they won 21-15, 21-11 to improve to 3-3 overall on the season.
Madison Nichols and Danielle Boss were the second of three pairs to record two victories on the day. The tandem opened at No. 3 pair in the win over Ottawa taking their match 21-9, 21-12, then played No. 2 pair versus ACU where they won 21-15, 21-12.
Kaylee Mejia and Sharli O'Neil swept both of their contests on Tuesday, winning on court four 21-12, 21-13, then followed with a 21-11, 21-18 win versus the ACU Firestorm at the third pair position. Mejia and O'Neil have the best overall record on the team at 4-1 on the year.
Joey Benson recorded two victories on the day pairing with a couple of different partners. She played No. 5 pair with Emilia Guerra-Acuna against Ottawa collecting a 21-12, 21-9 win, then teamed with Alyssa Wissinger at No. 4 pair versus the Firestorm to record a 21-13, 21-15 victory.
Also collecting a win on Tuesday was the tandem of Alli O'Harra and Katie Martin at No. 5 pair where they won in straight sets 21-9, 21-7 versus ACU.
Boise State will now take its 3-2 overall record to Tucson, Ariz., where the Broncos will close out its 10-day road trip at the Cactus Classic. The Blue and Orange will open against ninth-ranked Hawaii and No. 13 Arizona on Friday before concluding the tournament versus Santa Clara and Arizona State on Saturday.
