Upcoming Event: Women's Soccer at South Dakota on September 24, 2026 at 6 p.m.


9/1/2010 4:22:00 PM | Women's Soccer
The start of the season left the South Dakota State women's soccer team with a bad taste in their mouth with 0-1-1 record but the team is set to take a roadtrip Saturday and Sunday to face Nevada and Montana in Reno, Nev.
The Jackrabbits dropped the home opener to Drake 1-0 Sunday at Fishback Soccer Park in Brookings, S.D.
“I thought we played hard in the game, but credit to Drake, they played very well defensively,” said head coach Lang Wedemeyer. “I thought we certainly carried the play for most of the game, but lacked a bit of composure and quality in the attacking third of the field. We have a great group of offensive players, but need to get them more in sync with one another to create better scoring opportunities.”
