A Wyoming bill aimed at banning transgender athletes from participating in women's collegiate sports advanced through committee on Friday at the urging of Cowgirls volleyball player Macey Boggs. The state already bans trans athletes from competing in high school girls sports, but this bill would extend that to the college level.

'I implore you to stop this injustice and preserve the future of female athletics, please vote yes today,' Boggs, a senior with the Cowgirls, told the committee ahead of the vote. Boggs was a member of the UW volleyball team that forfeited a pair of games this past season against San Jose State over objections to a trans player on the Spartans. Those forfeitures resulted in the Cowgirls' failure to advance to the Mountain West tournament, thereby ending Boggs' collegiate volleyball career.

'During my last season at UW, my team was punished with two losses for refusing to play against a male athlete on an opposing team,' Boggs said, as quoted by several news outlets. 'I was [denied] the chance to play my final collegiate matches because we faced a situation no woman should have to face: either compete against a team rostering a male athlete on a woman's scholarship, robbing us of fair and safe competition, or forfeit the rest of our season.'.
