BOISE, Idaho – A balanced offense once again led Boise State to a victory, this time over UC San Diego in a sweep (25-18, 36-34, 25-14) on the opening day of the Boise State Classic in Bronco Gym. The victory kept the Blue and Orange undefeated at 4-0 overall.

The Broncos controlled the first and third sets, winning both with ease. However, the second was a completely different story as it went to extra points before the Broncos – after 14 ties and five lead changes – pulled it out 36-34.

Quotables

Shawn Garus, head coach

"Great to play at home and get a win in front of our home crowd. There is always good energy in Bronco Gym, and we had so many players playing their first match in there."
"I think there was a little bit of nerves, a little bit of angst out there, but I think we got rid of that in the second set, when we had to really battle for every point, to come from behind and steal that one was big. Then we played really well in the third set to close it out."
