  4. Mountain West softball standings with two weekends remaining in the regular season. Top six teams make up the 2025 MWC softball tournament field. # 1 - Nevada - 12-4 (.750 %) # 2 (TIED) - Fresno State & San Diego State - Both are 13-6 (.684 %) in MWC play and they both have one win and one loss against each other. # 4 - Utah State - 10-6 (.625 %) # 5. - Boise State - 8-8 (.500 %) # 6. - San Jose State - 6-10 (.375 %) ------------------------------------ # 7. New Mexico - 5-11 (.313 %) # 8. Colorado State - 5-11 (.313 %) - New Mexico is 7th because they beat Colorado State in two of their three game series # 9. U.N.L.V. - 3-13 (.188 %)
  5. I have to say that what Nevada has done so far this season is simply astounding. Especially given the fact that they had only 3 returning non-pitching starters from last season. And none of their primary starting pitchers from last season returned for this season. The only pitcher for Nevada who started any games last season who returned for 2025 is seldom used Taryn Irimata who started only 5 games in 2024 and had an E.R.A. of 5.25. If Nevada's first year head coach, Victoria Hayward, is not the 2025 MWC softball coach of the year then it will be a travesty IMO.
  6. Friday's MWC softball game results San Diego State got out to an 8-0 lead against Boise State. Boise State rallied in the 3rd inning with 4 runs and then 3 more in the 5th inning and 1 in the 7th but San Diego State scored 2 runs in 6th. Final score was SDSU 10 - Boise State 8. Boise State had three home runs in last night's game which increased their season total up to 75 home runs. The school record is 81 home runs in a season. So they will need 7 more home runs to break the school record. They have 8 more games remaining in the regular season and most likely at least one game in the MWC tournament. Five of those 8 remaining regular season games will be played in Boise's homer-friendly park. Boise State is averaging 1.67 home runs per game so far this season. U.N.L.V. eeked out a 2-1 win over San Jose State in 9 innings. Fresno State beat New Mexico 6-4. Nevada out-slugged Utah State and won last night's game 17-14 MWC Softball standings - after last night's games are as follows: 1. Nevada - 12-3 2. TIED - Fresno State & San Diego State - 12-6 4. Utah State - 9-5 5. Boise State - 8-7 6. TIED - San Jose State and New Mexico - 5-9 8. Colorado State - 5-11 9. U.N.L.V. - 3-12
  7. Scores from Thursday's MWC softball games: Boise State beat San Diego State 9-0 in a six inning run-rule game in which Boise State freshman pitcher Olivia Bauer shut out the Aztecs. Fresno State rallied from a 3-0 start by New Mexico in the first inning to beat the Lobos 7-5 Nevada also rallied late in their game on Thursday. Utah State was ahead 7-2 after five innings but Nevada scored 4 runs in the 6th and 2 in the 7th to beat the Aggies 8-7.
  8. The incident started on a bunt play (I believe it was a bunt - I could be wrong about that) the first base player for Utah State tagged out the Fresno State runner a few feet short of first base and inadvertently (or maybe intentionally?) in the boobs. The Fresno State player did not take it well.

  10. As someone who has been watching Boise State's softball team play since their very first year back in 2009 it astounds me to see the current head coach - who has done a great job of getting the Boise State players better at hitting - being let down by the assistant coaches that he brought in to the program. This is how I see the current version of the Boise State softball team. HITTING - Among the best teams in the country thanks to coach Shults FIELDING - Among the worst in the nation thanks to _______________? Is is coach Strub who handles the fielding? I really don't know. PITCHING - Below average pitching with no "ace" pitcher. When the best E.R.A. on your team is 4.44 that's below average. The fact is the pitching coach for Boise State has done a very poor job in all respects. From recruiting players to managing pitchers in the game. There are several former Boise State pitchers who left primarily because of the pitching coach. When Shults took over the head coaching job at Boise State in 20222 (after Maggie Huffaker retired at the age of 37 I believe) he had three "ace" pitchers who he inherited from Huffaker and those three pitchers won every game that season (40 wins vs 10 losses). Those three pitchers were the following: Sara Johnson - SR in 2022 - E.R.A. 2.26 - WHIP 1.16 - 9 wins 2 losses - 74.1 IP Hannah Bailey - SR in 2022 - E.R.A. 2.43 - WHIP 1.28 - 16 wins 3 losses - 138 IP Taylor Caudill - SO in 2022 - E.R.A. 3.01 - WHIP 1.26 - 15 wins 5 losses - 109 IP In 2023 Shults' team had only 32 wins - with Johnson and Bailey no longer on the team. In 2024 they improved to 36 wins (with Caudill's 19 wins). This year - with only 10 regular season games remaining - they have only 28 wins to date. And three of those 10 remaining games are against San Diego State. It's also a fact that the Shults coaching staff has not brought in ONE "ace" pitcher in four years of recruiting. By that I mean none of the pitchers who have been signed by Shults' pitching coach have had the stats that are even remotely close to what the above three pitchers provided to Shults' 2022 softball team. And of those three only Caudill played thru the 2024 season and she was - literally - the one and only "ace" this team has had since 2022. And - again - she was recruited and signed by the previous coaching staff. I'm wondering if Shults will ever come to realize that the problem with his team is the pitching. It seems patently obvious to me. As long as they continue with the current pitching coach I don't see things improving any time soon. As the old saying goes "Good pitching will beat good hitting". So you can have a great hitting team but when they face a team with great pitching and good hitting they are going to lose.
  11. 2025 Mountain West Conference softball standings in conference play thru games played today (Sunday April 13, 2025) 1. Nevada - 10-3 - .769 % 2. Utah State - 9-4 - .692 % - Utah State lost to Fresno State today and Nevada beat San Jose State today (to break the tie between these two 3. San Diego State - 11-5 - .687 % 4. Fresno State - 10-6 - .625 % 5. Boise State - 7-6 - .538 % 6. New Mexico - 5-8 - .385 % 7. San Jose State - 5-9 - .357 % 8. Colorado State 5-11 - .312 % 9. U.N.L.V. - 2-12 - .143 %
  12. Quite the broohaha in today's game. Most of the Fresno State players who were ejected got tossed because the left the dugout to join the fray in today's softball game between the two teams.
  13. Yet every other team in the MWC has correctly updated their rosters for THIS year along with virtually every other program in the nation.
  14. Hard to tell - it still has "2024 Football Roster" at the top of the page. Also the class (year) for each individual are wrong. For example Nate Burleson II is listed as a RS FR yet his bio says he played in 9 games last season. So he's a Sophomore. QB A. J. Bianco is listed as a RS Sophomore - when that is what he was last season. He's a RS Junior for 2025, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.
