Roden cooks on road as Nevada wins first conference game of season 58-57


BOISE, Idaho (Nevada Athletics) – Despite a strong comeback attempt by Boise State, Nevada women’s basketball weathered the Broncos’ storm to clinch its first Mountain West victory 58-57 Wednesday night at ExtraMile Arena.

Junior guard Audrey Roden led Nevada with a team-high 19 points off 50 percent shooting, her most points in Mountain West play this season. Freshman guard Izzy Sullivan, the reigning Mountain West Freshman of the Week, scored nine points in her first collegiate start. The Pack also got a lift off their bench, which scored 18 points led by Kennedy Lee with seven off 75 percent shooting.

Both teams came out with a defensive-minded approach, only combining for seven points halfway through the first quarter. After Boise State scored six unanswered points, Nevada quickly answered with an 8-0 scoring run to take its first lead of the game with 34 seconds left in the period. Boise State hit a layup with seven seconds left in the opening period to take a one-point advantage after 10 minutes.

Boise State extended its lead to four to open the second period, but a layup while drawing the foul from redshirt sophomore forward Natalie Lathrop made it a one possession game. The Broncos continued to stay out in front, but Roden responded with a bucket to cut the deficit to one point. She later found an open Kaylee Borden for a 3-pointer that swung the advantage towards Nevada. Roden once again found her teammates for baskets, dishing out her second assist to fifth year guard/forward Kaylen Banwareesingh for the buzzer-beating layup to put Nevada up 25-22 at the half.After Roden knocked down a 3-pointer to open the third quarter, Nevada went on an 11-2 scoring run capped off by a jumper from beyond the arc from fifth year guard Claire Jacobs. Boise State continued to claw back, cutting Nevada’s double-digit deficit to seven heading into the final period. Lee hit a second chance layup to open the fourth quarter before a basket from Banwareesingh allowed Nevada to stay in front by nine. The Broncos, however, used an 8-0 scoring run to make it a one-point game.

Nevada did not lose their poise, with Roden and Maxie converting layups to maintain a two-possession lead. The Broncos continued to use lightning strikes on offense, hitting a 3-pointer and another basket to make it a one-possession game with one minute to play.

Boise State came up with a steal and had the opportunity to win it with the final shot. Nevada, however, forced the Broncos to turn the ball over on their final possession to help secure its first Mountain West win of the season. Nevada returns to Lawlor Events Center next week to take on Air Force in its annual Salute to Service game Wednesday, January 10 at 6:30 p.m. Military members receive $5 tickets with a valid Military ID.

Nevada designates more than 119,000 voters inactive


CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) – The State of Nevada says it has designated more than 119,000 voters as inactive ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar says that in the spring of this year, counties updated 14,164 voter records, designated 119,533 voters as inactive and canceled the voter registrations of 7,583 people.

This is in addition to 2025 voter roll maintenance efforts that registered more than 138,000 voters inactive and canceled nearly 177,000 voter registrations.

“State and local election officials are working hard to prepare voters for the upcoming June Primary, and keeping Nevada’s voter rolls up to date is a critical part of that process. County election officials have dedicated significant resources to make sure Nevada’s voter registration records are accurate, so that all eligible Nevadans – and only eligible Nevadans – can cast a ballot,” said Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar. “Mail ballots are being sent to active, registered voters across the state now. Voters can support their local officials’ work by checking and updating their registration information on VOTE.NV.gov.”

Arbor View beats rival Centennial for 5A boys volleyball state title

Arbor View beats rival Centennial for 5A boys volleyball state title


The Arbor View boys volleyball team has embodied the mindset that it would take the efforts of all 16 players to win the school its first boys volleyball title.

It proved to be the case on Wednesday night against rival Centennial in the Class 5A state championship match, and the Aggies’ efforts all season showed up in the biggest game of the season.

No. 3-seeded Arbor View claimed its first boys volleyball title with a 25-20, 25-27, 25-19, 25-19 victory over top-seeded Centennial at Sunrise Mountain.

“It feels amazing. The boys have worked hard, I don’t even know if I could put it into words,” Arbor View coach Nicole Adarme said. “Our big goal was to stay calm and collected the entire time. I just wanted to reflect that for them.”

Arbor View (28-13-1) let its emotions out after the final point on an Owen Wenger kill. The Aggies huddled and jumped for joy, helped carry injured teammate Gunnar Robinson off the bench, and eventually moved the celebration into the stands with a sea of red from the Arbor View student section.

“It feels absolutely great,” junior middle blocker/outside hitter Risden Miller said. “We trust each other so much. We’re best friends in and out of volleyball, and that really helps us on the court with just competing as a team.”

Even though the two team’s previous meeting on April 14 was a three-set win in league play by Centennial (32-6), Adarme said she knew the fourth meeting of the season for the two northwest rivals wasn’t going to be a sweep on either side.

Arbor View won a back-and-forth first set on a kill from Miller. Then it looked like the Aggies were going to win a close second set, but Centennial got a point for Arbor View being out of rotation, and the Bulldogs won four of the last five points to even the match score to one set apiece.

“That’s the traditional thing (when we play) Centennial (to play long matches), so for us, we just treated it like another set,” Adarme said. “We knew they were going to fight, so how do we respond to that? Our constant conversation was responding to the negative and moving forward in a positive direction.”

Arbor View scored six straight points in the third set to take a 20-15 lead, and the Aggies never let up to get to the fourth set with a chance to win the title. The Aggies took advantage of several Centennial errors to take the lead in the third set on their way to the title.

“We took three deep breaths and reset and recollected ourselves as a team,” Miller said of closing out the final two sets. “That’s just completely huge for rebounding from a lost set.

“For me, personally, just looking at all my best friends on the court, that truly calms me down and I know it calms them down as well.”

Miller recorded 18 kills and Wenger was key at the net with eight kills and eight blocks. The Aggies also got contributions from Graham Blanchard, Kenyon Wickliffe and Robinson before he went down with a lower left leg injury in the fourth set.

Lincoln Larson led Centennial with 19 kills. It’s the first boys volleyball state title for Arbor View and first appearance in the title game after the program reached the state semifinals four previous times.

“We can’t (win) with six, we have to do it with all 16,” Adarme said. “We’ve been training all of them to be ready for big moments and it was an amazing moment for Cooper (Ball, coming in for an injured Robinson) to be able to come in for us.

“We just had to know we couldn’t be outside of ourselves. Where we fell short in the past was trying to be more instead of focusing on what our role is and what our job is.”
