MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS: Saturday's dual against Saint Mary's will serve as BroncoBold's Mental Health Dual to spread awareness about the importance of mental health. The contest will also serve as an alumni dual, with the program honoring some of its past players prior to the event.

SENIOR DAY RECOGNITION: Boise State will honor its two seniors following the dual against Saint Mary's on Saturday. Emilia Guerra-Acuña and Sharli O'Neil will be recognized during the proceedings, which are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. MT.

SCOUTING THE COMPETITION: Boise State has already taken on two of the opponents earlier in the season, having defeated Arizona, 3-2, on March 1 and falling to Cal State Bakersfield by the same score on March 16. Colorado Mesa enters the weekend with a 16-7 mark on the season, including a win over UTEP. Both Saint Mary's (14-13) and Arizona (16-9) also enter the weekend with winning records.

HOME SAND DOMINANCE: The Broncos come into its home weekend with a 15-dual home-winning streak, a record that dates back to 2021. Boise State, who has won 10 out of its last 11 duals this season, last lost at home on April 17, 2021.

LOOKING AHEAD: Boise State claimed its first championship in program history by claiming the SLC regular season crown in March. The win gives the Blue and Orange the top seed at the SLC Beach Volleyball Championship, which takes place April 23-25 in New Orleans. The winner of the championship will clinch an automatic bid to the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship, which occurs May 2-4 in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
