While the men came away with a win the Lady Broncos fell to an USA Elite team with some WNBA players 72-67.

The Lady Broncos took a 34-26 lead into the half Wednesday night in front of a crowd of 423 people, but couldn°t hold on in the second half. Crista Peterson led the Lady Broncos posting a double double, with 20 points and 11 rebounds.

çI was impressed with our performance,å Peterson said. çThat was the best we°ve done in an exhibition game.å

Boise State had too many turnovers in the second half and couldn°t overcome them as the USA Elite team came out with a 20-8 run.

çWe need to work on putting a whole game together, and also the turnovers in the second half,å Peterson said. çBut that will come.å

The Lady Broncos regained the lead 51-50 with 9:21 remaining in the game when the USA Elite went on a 13-2 run to go up for good 63-53 with 6:35 remaining. A lay-up by Abby Vaughan with 1:17 to go cut the lead to 69-64, but the Lady Broncos couldn°t get any closer.

Mandy Welch scored 16 points and grabbed four rebounds, and Camille Woodfield added 11 points, five assists, and six rebounds.

The Bronco men started off their season with an 86-55 rout of the Brisbane Capitals on Thursday night in front of 1723 fans.

Boise State jumped out to an 8-2 lead early and looked very impressive in the early going. On the Broncos first possession senior forward Abe Jackson drove to the hoop, got fouled and made the free throw. Just after that junior guard Joe Skiffer stole the ball and pushed it up-court and dished the ball to senior forward Richard Morgan. Morgan then drove to the hoop and put down a mean dunk over a Brisbane player.

The Broncos maintained decent lead until halftime and went into the locker room leading 38-29. Abe Jackson scored 18 of his 24 points in the first half, but it wasn°t until the beginning of the second half that the Broncos put the game away.

Boise State went on a 31-5 to start the second half before some sloppy play late in the second half, but the game was never in doubt.

Freshman forward Jason Ellis looked very impressive at times scoring 12 points and leading the team with seven rebounds. Senior center Trevor Tillman added 10 points and five rebounds and Morgan put up nine points and six rebounds. Freshman guard Solomon Wyatt led the team in assists with six.
