RENO, Nev. -- After a midweek three-game set against San Diego State, the Nevada softball team (12-26, 2-7 MW) hits the road to take on Boise State (8-31, 0-9 MW) for another three-game series that runs from April 10-12.

Despite a furious five-run rally in the bottom of the seventh on Wednesday against San Diego State that featured a solo-home run from freshman Alyssa Mendez and a grand slam from freshman Jennifer Purcell, the Wolf Pack was unable to avoid the series sweep against the Aztecs as the Pack fell, 9-7.

Junior Megan Sweet continues to feast on conference pitching as ranks in the top three in batting average (.556), slugging percentage (.889) and on-base percentage (.636) in MW play.

In the all-time series, BSU leads 10-4 and has won nine of its last 10 games meetings against the Pack.
The Broncos will enter Friday's matchup having lost 16-straight games after getting swept by UNLV last weekend.

· Already having a spectacular 2015 at shortstop and at the plate, junior Megan Sweet has excelled offensively through the midway point of conference play
