South Dakota State will head to the 2021 Summit League Women's Soccer Tournament, hosted by the University of Denver, as the No. 2 seed after finishing the regular season with a 15-3-1 (6-2-1 SUMMIT) record. The Jacks will begin their ninth consecutive conference tournament Thursday, Nov. 4 at 5 p.m. CT against No. 3 seed Omaha.
The winner of Thursday's contest will take on the winner of No. 1 Denver and No. 4 South Dakota in Saturday's championship game at 3 p.m. CT, with the champion earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
SDSU has finished no worse than second place in the Summit League table in five seasons under
Brock Thompson.
The Jackrabbits are 7-5-6 all-time in the Summit League Tournament and are 3-1-2 as the No. 2 seed. SDSU's last tournament title came in 2019 when the Jacks knocked off Oral Roberts and Denver en route to securing a bid to their fifth NCAA Tournament in program history.
SDSU and Omaha last met in the postseason in the spring, also a No. 2/3 seed matchup. The two sides battled to a 0-0 draw, but the Mavericks advanced to the championship game after beating the Jacks in penalty kicks.
