LAS VEGAS – Anna Ostlie scored a team-high 15 points in Boise State's 65-56 loss in the first round of the Air Force Reserve Mountain West Women's Basketball Championship, Sunday.
Elodie Lalotte recorded her ninth double-double of the season with 10 points and a game-high 11 rebounds and Mary Kay Naro added 11 points.
"We were on our heels early, but battled back," Bronco Head Coach Gordy Presnell said. "Our youth was on display in the first three or four minutes and then we got it down to two with about seven minutes to play before having some turnover issues. I thought the key to the game was (San Diego State's) guard play."
The 10th-seeded Broncos (8-21) fell behind 12-2 and trailed 19-13 at the end of the first quarter. Boise State clamped down defensively in the second quarter as they held the seventh-seeded Aztecs (15-15) to 21 percent shooting from the floor and closed to within 25-23 at intermission.
Boise State took their first lead since 2-0 at the 8:27 mark of the third quarter when Dominique Leonidas knocked down a jumper for a 27-26 advantage.
San Diego State responded with a 14-4 run to go back on top 40-31 with 2:13 left in the period. Jayda Clark made a driving layup on Boise State's next possession and Naro scored five-consecutive points to pull the Broncos within 40-38 and they trailed 42-38 with 10 minutes to play.
The Aztecs held a 50-47 lead with 4:36 remaining before going on a 9-0 run to put the game away.
