HAMMOND, La. – Boise State beach volleyball wrapped up a successful weekend at the Sugar Beach Bash in Hammond, La., finishing 3-1 at the two-day event.
The Broncos (14-7, 1-0 Southland) defeated No. 20 Tampa, 4-1, on Friday, marking the third win over a ranked opponent in program history. The victory was also the first ranked win since Boise State defeated No. 13 Cal Poly, 4-1, on March 23, 2022. The Broncos also defeated Southeastern Louisiana and Tulane, while dropping a dual to South Carolina.
The Blue and Orange opened the two-day event with a 5-0 sweep over Southeastern Louisiana. All five Bronco duos won in straight sets to give Boise State its first conference victory of the season.
Trailing 1-0 against No. 20 Tampa after a loss on court four, Sharli O'Neil and Elli Wolthuis overcame a 14-11 deficit in the third set, winning 21-17, 19-21, 19-17 to tie the dual at one. Boise State followed up with straight-set victories on courts one through three to claim a 4-1 victory over the Spartans.
South Carolina came out on fire in the Broncos' third dual on the weekend, winning all courts but the top one to win 4-1. Boise State responded against Tulane. With the dual tied at 2-2, Marlayna Bullington and Sierra Land won a three-set thriller, 17-21, 21-16, 15-10 to give the Blue and Orange the win.

"Marlayna and Sierra are playing amazing. They've had a different game plan for every match they've gone into this season. We can rely on them to play at their best." - Voigt
