South Dakota State goes back on the road to take on Omaha Thursday night at Baxter Arena and Kansas City Saturday afternoon at the Swinney Center.
The Jackrabbits enter the weekend at 20-0 with a 9-0 mark in the Summit League. With 20 wins, SDSU has set a new mark for single-season wins in the Dan Georgalas era (previous: 19 in 2021). SDSU has won 20 matches for the first time since winning 25 in 2007.
SDSU travels to second-place Omaha with a lot on the line in terms of final standings and conference tournament seeding. Omaha (9-1) has only one conference loss to date - to South Dakota State (9-0). Since falling to SDSU in Brookings on October 10, Omaha has won six straight matches, three by sweep.
Kansas City is 4-17 on the year and 2-8 in conference matches. Most recently, KC fell 3-1 to South Dakota but topped Oral Roberts, 3-0, on October 24. The Jackrabbits swept the Roos in the first match at First Bank & Trust Arena on October 3.
