BOISE, Idaho – Idriss Haddouch's three-set victory at No. 5 singles secured a 4-1 victory over the Air Force Falcons Friday night at the Appleton Tennis Center.

The win clinched a share of the Mountain West regular-season championship as the Blue and Orange remained undefeated in conference at 5-0 and improved to 19-4 overall.

After dropping the team doubles point, the Broncos went into singles in a familiar position: They had to win four of the six contests.

Van Herzeele won 6-1, 6-3 on court four, Carson Baker followed with a 6-1, 6-2 victory at the No. 2 position, followed by Jett Middleton on court one where he won 6-3, 6-4 as the Broncos claimed a 3-1 advantage.

Haddouch brought the match home when he defeated Air Force's Matthew Staton in three sets, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, on court five.
