The decision to not continue to play in the 2024 Mountain West Volleyball Championship tournament was not an easy one. Our team overcame forfeitures to earn a spot in the tournament field and fought for the win over Utah State in the first round on Wednesday. They should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes.
When asked if there were any external pressures contributing to the decision, Link said he wasn't able to comment. Decisions to forfeit matches are at the institutions' discretion and are considered a loss, the Mountain West said in a statement.
The match was scheduled for 4 p.m. PT Friday in Las Vegas. The Spartans will play either No. 1 seed Colorado State or No. 5 San Diego State in the final on Saturday, which carries an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.
While we are disappointed in Boise State's decision, our women's volleyball team is preparing for Saturday's match and looks forward to competing for a championship.
