The victory marked a strong step forward for the Broncos, who continue to build momentum in Power Esports Conference play.
The opening round set the tone early as both teams traded blows in a series of tight exchanges. Boise State's lineup, Eric Labastida (Mada), Tyler Wills (Supersonic), Nolan Genna (Melfour), and Alexis Arenas (Gookies), stayed poised under pressure, gradually finding rhythm through clean reads and quick adjustments.

MADA and Melfour capitalized with consistent combo setups, while Gookies sealed multiple key stocks to maintain control. Baylor battled to respond but couldn't slow the Broncos' rhythm, as Boise State finished the round 14–8 to complete the sweep.
