4/11/2025 8:18:00 PM | Women's Beach Volleyball
BOISE, Idaho – Boise State beach volleyball earned a pair of victories on the opening day of the Boise State Classic on Friday, defeating Colorado Mesa, 5-0, and Cal State Bakersfield, 4-1.
The Broncos (16-10, 8-0 Southland Conference) began the day against the Mavericks. Boise State picked up its first point from court two after Ava Anderson and Addison Wolden won in straight sets. Emilia Guerra-Acuña and Elli Wolthuis made it 2-0 for the Broncos after a three-set win from the No. 4 position.
Allyson Alden and Sharli O'Neil clinched the win for Boise State following a 21-19, 21-11 win from the top spot. The Broncos' No. 3 pair of Avery Allen and Abbie Wolf and their No. 5 pair of Addison Moss and Lily Patock won their final respective matches to secure the first sweep of the day.
Seeking revenge from an earlier loss this season against the Roadrunners, Boise State claimed the first point of the final dual of the day with a straight-set victory on court four from Guerra-Acuña and Wolthuis. The Roadrunners evened the contest with a three-set win on court two.
The Broncos weren't phased. Allen and Wolf answered with a straight-set win on court three while Charlee Ellena and Patock clinched the team win minutes later from the No. 5 position. Alden and O'Neil added to the advantage with a 21-10, 21-12 victory from the top court.

- Addison Moss became the 10th Bronco to record 10+ wins on the season, tying the program record for most players with 10+ individual victories in a single year.

Quotables
"Our team came in really fired up and wanting to protect our home court. What I was really impressed with was how much we were able to adapt and problem-solve during the match and find things that work for each specific team." – head coach Allison Voigt
"We had over 300 fans at our duals today and it's crazy how helpful it is to have that many people here. The energy that we get from Bronco Nation is pretty impressive. Energy and communication is really important to our team and the crowd helps us stay on top of that." – Voigt
"We're excited to honor our seniors tomorrow. Emilia and Sharli have meant so much to what we're trying to build with this program. They've been a part of not only the foundation but they've been huge pieces about raising the level here. They're some of the main reasons we've not only had a successful year but had a successful last couple of years as a beach program." - Voigt
What's Next
Boise State will return to its home sand on Saturday, April 12, with a home dual against Saint Mary's. The dual against the Gaels begins at 2 p.m. MT and will feature a senior day presentation following the conclusion of the contest. The match will also concurrently serve as the BroncoBOLD Mental Health Matters dual and as an alumni dual, with several alumni being recognized prior to the dual's start.
