WHAT IS HAPPENING
The Broncos (7-6, 3-5 MW) will close out the regular season this weekend when they host a four-team conference pod featuring Boise State, Fresno State, San Jose State and Utah State. There will be two matches each day (Friday and Saturday), with the first contest starting at 10 a.m. (Mountain) and the second scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. (roughly). All matches will be played at the Appleton Tennis Center on campus, weather permitting.

POTENTIAL WEATHER ISSUES
The weather forecast is questionable for Friday, so there is a potential that the match could be moved to the Boas Indoor Tennis Center on S. Oakland Ave. Check BroncoSports.com's schedule page or our women's tennis social media accounts Thursday morning to verify the location. Â
