The women’s volleyball team at Boise State University has forfeited its third match against San Jose State University this season over its refusal to play against a transgender athlete on the team. The form of protest will keep the team from competing in the NCAA tournament.

The forfeits are considered losses for the Boise State Broncos, giving SJSU’s Spartans a trio of victories in the win column this season. The team will not be able to qualify after deciding not to participate in a tournament for the Mountain West Conference, according to Outkick. As a result, SJSU will advance to the tournament finals.
