The Bronco volleyball team will continue their WAC play tonight
in Houston, taking on the Rice Owls.
The Broncos, who are back on the road after a very short home
stand, look to seize these crucial in-conference games.
The Owls hope to claim their first conference win this season.
Rice is 8-2 overall for the year, and will undoubtedly attempt to
prove themselves against a young Bronco team.
The Broncos, who split their first two in-conference games last
week at home in Bronco Gym, are coming off a tough loss against
Southern Methodist University.
The Broncos will focus on this match against the Owls as a
crucial game for the success of this young, but talented squad.
Boise State will then travel to Oklahoma to finish their road
trip. In Tulsa, the Broncos will battle the Golden Hurricanes on
Saturday. Tulsa, like Rice, is without a conference win this
season, but the Golden Hurricanes have an overall record of 9 and
6.
These wins are critical for Boise State – the Broncos
could use them to get an early lead on the WAC standings.
Boise State has already significantly improved upon their 2002
record, and a few more wins could mark 2003 as the programs’
turning point.
The Broncos will return home to host the Rainbow Wahine of
Hawaii at Bronco Gym on Oct 9.
