Boise State swept Montana State 7-0 in the Bobcats final non-conference match of the season in Boise on Saturday.

Boise State, ranked 50^th in the nation, caps a brutal non-conference schedule in which MSU faced several ranked opponents. MSU's Kenny Dodd competed well at no. six singles, falling to Michael Gilliland 7-5, 2-6, 10-8, while Prithiv Sivasabramaniam lost a 6-4 7-6 (7-5) decision at no. five.

Boise State has now played 10 consecutive home duals, while the Bobcats have played only four home matches this season. MSU falls to 6-11 in duals this season, while Boise State raised its record to 12-10. MSU returns to Big Sky play on Friday, April 8, against Idaho State, and hosts Portland State on Saturday.
