Four Matches in Three Days for the Volleyball Team
9/1/2016 11:22:00 AM | Women's Volleyball
           The South Dakota State volleyball team travels north this weekend when it plays in the NDSU Classic Friday and Saturday and opens its home schedule against Bradley Sunday.
           SDSU plays Texas Tech at 10 a.m. and Northern Illinois at 4:30 p.m. Friday and UTEP at 4 p.m. Saturday. The Jacks have their home opener at 3 p.m. Sunday vs. Bradley.
           The Jackrabbits are 1-3 after a heart breaking loss at Drake Tuesday. They won the first and fourth sets, but couldn't get things going in the fifth, losing 25-20, 14-25, 14-25, 25-23 and 4-15.
           Texas Tech concludes a six-match road swing at the NDSU Classic. It opened the season at the Portland State Tournament where the Red Raiders lost to Colorado (3-2) and Long Beach State (3-0) before taking down the host Vikings (3-1).
           Northern Illinois hosted the NIU Tournament last weekend and came away with a 2-1 record. The Huskies defeated DePaul (3-1) and Loyola Chicago (3-1), but lost to Iowa (3-0).
           UTEP is looking for its first win of the season after losing all three matches at the Oklahoma Invitational last weekend. The Miners lost to UMKC (3-0), the Sooners (3-0) and Oral Roberts (3-1).
           Bradley opened the season 2-1 at the Pepsi Panther Invitational in Milwaukee, Wis., last weekend. They lost the opener to Milwaukee (3-2), but rebounded for wins over Western Illinois (3-0) and Akron (3-0).
Â
Setting the Scene
• South Dakota State has a busy weekend, playing four matches in three days culminating with its home opener.
• The Jackrabbits have history with all four teams. They lost to Texas Tech and Northern Illinois in their first meetings last year. The series is tied with UTEP with the Jacks losing at UTEP in 2013. Bradley won the lone meeting in five sets in 2012 in Peoria, Ill.
• SDSU is looking for its second tournament win of the season after finishing 1-2 in the Green Bay Tournament last weekend.
• Sunday, South Dakota State celebrates its 45th year of playing in Frost Arena. State is 340-171 all-time in the friendly confines. The last time the Jackrabbits won their home opener was 2012 when they defeated North Dakota in three sets Sept. 4.
