Box Score

South Dakota State volleyball dropped a 3-0 road match to the Roos of Kansas City Thursday night.

A 9-0 run by Kansas City in the opening game spelled disaster for the Jacks, who committed nine attack errors and registered a negative hitting percentage in set one.

SDSU looked much stronger in sets two and three. The score stayed tight through the majority of both games but Kansas City managed to pull away late.

Set two featured 12 ties and four lead changes, a stark contrast from one tie and one lead change in the first set. At 15-15 KC got three kills from Odyssey Warren and scored four unanswered to put some distance between the home team and the Jacks.

Set three also went back-and-forth. Just when it seemed one side was going to pull away, the other managed to come back and tie things up. A 6-2 run put the Jackrabbits up 15-13 but five consecutive points for the Roos swung the momentum in the KC direction and put them ahead for good.

Crystal Burk led all players with 13 kills. Ella Thompson and Akeela Jefferson had six kills each and Thompson attacked at a .308 clip.

Jasmine Weidemann checked in during the second set for the Jackrabbits and dished out 13 assists, a career best for the freshman. Carly Wedel had 16 helpers. Defensively, Tatum Pickar tallied 16 digs and Burk added 10. Sydney Andrews had three blocks.

UP NEXT
The Jackrabbits will head to Tulsa, Okla. for a match against Oral Roberts Saturday. Opening serve is set for 1 p.m.
