Boise State women win outright conference title at home for the first time

Coach Gordy Presnell received the obligatory Gatorade bath as his Boise State women’s basketball team soaked in a second straight Mountain West Conference regular-season championship.

The Broncos defeated New Mexico 70-66 on Monday night at Taco Bell Arena to clinch the regular-season title outright and the No. 1 seed at next week’s conference tournament.

Senior Marta Hermida led the Broncos with 18 points, five rebounds and five assists, and junior A’Shanti Coleman added 17 points.

The Broncos wrap up conference play at 7 p.m. Thursday against Air Force in USAFA, Colorado.
