Broncos Defeated by Cowgirls
2/21/2024 8:06:00 PM | Softball
LAKE CHARLES, La. – Boise State dropped a nonconference road softball game 4-1 to McNeese, Wednesday.
Â
The Broncos (8-3) fell to 4-2 with five games remaining on their eight-day road trip. McNeese (7-4), which is receiving votes in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll this week, defeated Boise State for the first time in four meetings all-time.
Â
"You have to tip your cap to McNeese's pitcher," head coach Justin Shults said. "It was a hostile environment and we need to adjust to that. We did not play our best game, but we have a great opportunity to respond starting tomorrow."
Â
Boise State trailed 2-0 in the fifth when Brooklynn Pettis reached on an error to open the inning, the first baserunner for the Broncos. Alycia Flores followed with Boise State's first hit, a single that put runners at first and second. Both runners moved up on a ground out, but the Broncos wound up stranding two in scoring position.
Â
McNeese added a single tally in both the fifth and sixth before Megan Lake's solo home run in the seventh accounted for Boise State's only run.

Top Broncos
The Broncos open the Tiger Classic at No. 6 LSU, Thursday with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m. CT/5 p.m. MT.
