San José State returns to Spartan Gym this week to open the home portion of the Mountain West schedule with matches against two of the top teams in the conference. The Spartans face Boise State Thursday night in a battle of 2-0 teams in the conference. The 2021 MW Tournament champions, Boise State defeated SJSU in the first round of the tournament last year. San José State had won both regular season meets.
Saturday, the Spartans will face Utah State who is 1-1 in the MW and tied for fourth in the standings. The Aggies tied with Colorado State last year for the 2021 Mountain West Regular Season Championship.
The Spartans enter the week with an 8-4 overall record and 2-0 MW mark. The team opened the MW season with wins at San Diego State, 3-1, and at Fresno State, 3-2, last week.

- Haylee Nelson keeps jumping former Spartans on the San José State career kills list. Last week, she moved into eighth place all-time with 1,249 kills, passing Barbara Higgins who had 1,237 from 1984-87. Nelson needs 38 more kills to move into seventh place with Stephanie Pascucci.

- Something will look different when fans enter Spartan Gym this season. Over the summer, a new Taraflex floor was installed and was revealed to the team on July 22. This type of floor is used in the Olympics and helps to prevent short and long-term injuries for the student-athletes.
