FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State volleyball team is splitting the week with a road game at Boise State and a home game against San Jose State.

The Bulldogs head to Boise, Idaho, to face the Broncos on Thursday and return to Fresno, California, on Saturday to host the Spartans of San Jose State.

SISTER, SISTER

Sisters Olivia and Gabby Lombardi both made their first appearance for the Fresno State volleyball team this season.
Olivia transferred from Iowa for her redshirt-sophomore season and is now the Bulldogs' starting libero.
Gabby was on the roster in 2024 as a redshirt and did not see any game action until 2025, serving as Fresno State's starting setter.
The Lombardis are no strangers to DI sports, as all five of the Lombardi siblings are or were athletes on DI rosters.
Their brother Rocky played football at Michigan and Northern Illinois, their brother Beau plays football at West Point, and their sister Payton played volleyball at Tennessee Tech.

VALLEY GIRLS

Four members of the Bulldog Volleyball roster are hometown kids who grew up in either Fresno or Clovis, California.
Clara Garcia and Jayden Xiong were both raised in Clovis, while Peyton Bitter and Brooklyn Washington are Fresno Natives.
Washington's mother was on the track & field team while her father was on the football team, Garcia's mom was on the swim & dive roster and Xiong's parents are both proud Fresno State alums.

TEAM CAPTAINS

Fresno State volleyball Head Coach Leisa Rosen has announced that Addison Haluska and Jenna Legault will serve as the team's captains for the 2025 season.
"The impact Addi makes physically is imperative to our success, but what is equally as important is the connections she has created with each person in this program," Rosen said of Haluska. "She has developed a very strong connection with every player on our roster - and that is impressive."
Haluska has amassed over 1,000 kills and over 200 total blocks for the Bulldogs in her three seasons on the squad.
"The growth - both physically and mentally - that Jenna has demonstrated during this past spring will allow her to lead in a very authentic and genuine manner," Rosen boasted of Legault. "I'm looking forward to her personality and competitive nature driving the progress of our program forward."
Legault has been a standout for the Bulldogs in her two seasons on the court after redshirting in 2022.
