Boise, Idaho — In a matchup widely viewed as a deciding factor for second place in the PEC standings, Boise State responded to an early deficit with a 3–2 reverse sweep over Syracuse. The Broncos (12-3) repeated their game five heroics over the Orange from earlier this year, when Syracuse (9-4) pushed Boise State to all five in the opening week of the season.

Game 1

Syracuse opened the series with early control, holding possession and limiting Boise State's scoring opportunities. The Orange converted twice, including a goal in the opening 90 seconds, to secure a 2–0 win and take early momentum.

Game 2

Syracuse again struck first, scoring within the first 30 seconds. Midway through the match, Cade Hall tied the game to force overtime. In the extra period, Ga.Baby recorded the golden goal to give Syracuse a 2–1 win and a 2–0 series advantage.

Game 3

Facing elimination, Boise State responded. Syracuse scored first once more, but Preston Ferrante equalized with 1:30 remaining. With under a minute to play, Emiliano Flores delivered the go-ahead goal. A final defensive stop in the closing seconds preserved the 2–1 win and extended the series.

Game 4

Boise State carried that momentum forward, building a 3–0 lead before Syracuse added a late goal. The 3–1 result evened the series and forced a decisive fifth game.

Game 5

Both teams scored within the opening 30 seconds of regulation. Boise State then separated late, as Flores and Hall combined for two additional goals to secure a 3–1 victory and complete the reverse sweep.

Boise State generated 50 total shots and recorded 22 demolitions across the five games, maintaining consistent offensive pressure throughout the comeback effort.
