WOMEN'S SOCCER

In a heartbreaking end to an exhilarating conference tournament run, the women’s soccer team ended their season with a loss in the Mountain West championship. The team clinched the sixth and final spot in the tournament after being ranked 11th just weeks prior, then beat the second and thirdranked teams. Team members credit their unique leadership team "Information Highway,” designed to bridge the coach-player gap, for their team coordination and success.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

In a season filled with the highest highs and the lowest lows, the Boise State men’s basketball team turned a seemingly hopeless season into the university’s first outright Mountain West title. After losing key players, it was uncertain how Boise State would perform this season. This ultimately led to the team being projected to finish fourth in the Mountain West behind Colorado State, San Diego State, and Nevada, though the team rallied, pulling off a huge 14-game winning streak midseason before losing in the first round of March Madness.

VOLLEYBALL

The volleyball team, like the women’s soccer team, came into their Mountain West championship tournament as underdogs, ranked sixth in the conference. However, the Broncos defeated San Jose State, Utah State, and UNLV to win the championship and make it to the NCAA tournament. Although their tournament trip was short, falling to 11th-ranked BYU in the first round, their season was a memorable one, starting with a 12-2 run and including a victory over the 10th-ranked University of Utah, the highest ranking team the Broncos have beaten in program history.
