BOISE, Idaho – Boise State soccer recorded their first shutout in Mountain West play with a 1-0 win against San Jose State, on Thursday night.

Quotables

"What a journey Birdie (Genevieve Crenshaw) has been on," said head coach Jim Thomas. "For her to have done it as quickly as she has is amazing. She's been so committed to her team, not really caring about her personal stats and just doing what her team needs is something we'll forever value."
"Their celebration on the sideline for Kenzie was just like training, where we put music on and dance or laugh," said Thomas. "It's who we are, that's what we call the juice! I'm going to get into trouble for it because they keep running onto the field, but I will take that booking any time or day."
