BOISE, Idaho ? The University of Idaho volleyball team defeated Boise State Saturday and earned its second-consecutive 3-0 victory.

The Vandals improved to 8-9 overall and 4-2 in the Western Athletic Conference with the win and have now won five of their last six matches. Boise State continued to struggle and is now 4-12 overall and 1-7 in the WAC. The game scores were 30-28, 30-25, and 30-18.

“Boise State has great home court advantage and to come here and earn a win is huge,” Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said. “We started passing better and more in system as the match went along. We hit good numbers on offense and kept a good flow going throughout the match.”

Haley Larsen led Idaho with 17 kills and 16 digs and Sarah Loney hit .500 with 11 kills and 11 digs. The Vandals held the Broncos to a .136 hitting percentage and earned an 11.5 to 5.0 advantage in blocks.

Idaho looks to continue its winning ways with two games at home next week. The Vandals face San Jose State Thursday and Hawai`i Saturday at Memorial Gym.
