FORT WORTH, Texas – Boise State beach volleyball nearly pulled off a pair of upsets during the toughest weekend of competition of its season. The Broncos (3-6) fell 3-2 to both No. 12 Florida Atlantic and No. 13 Texas, while also dropping matches to No. 4 TCU and No. 7 Florida State at the TCU Invitational. 

No. 4 TCU got off to a hot start against the Blue and Orange in the first dual of the weekend, claiming straight-set victories from courts four and five to grab a 2-0 lead. The Horned Frogs clinched the victory with a win on court one, eventually winning 5-0.

Boise State found itself down 2-0 again after losing matches on courts three and four to No. 12 Florida Atlantic, but Avery Allen and Abbie Wolf put the team on the board with a thrilling 18-21, 21-13, 15-13 victory from the No. 5 position. Ava Anderson and Addison Wolden evened the dual score at two with a straight-set victory on the top court, sending the dual's outcome to court two. Allyson Alden and Sharli O'Neil fell in a three-set thriller, losing 19-21, 21-13, 15-13.

On the second day of competition, No. 13 Texas got on the board first with a straight-set win on court four. Allen and Wolf pulled out an exhilarating 19-17 third-set win on court five to even the score at one apiece. After Boise State dropped a point on court three, Anderson and Wolden pulled out a tight, straight-set win to even the scoreboard at two. Moments later, the Longhorns came out victorious on court two to claim the dual.

No. 7 Florida State got out to a 2-0 advantage against Boise State in the final dual of the weekend following victories on court four and five. Florida State clinched the victory with straight-set wins over court one and court three. After winning the first set, Alden and O'Neil snagged a three-set win from the No. 2 position to put the Broncos on the board.
