South Dakota State travels to Minneapolis this weekend to take on RV Dayton, RV South Florida and No. 13 Minnesota in the Diet Coke Classic. The Jackrabbits are coming off a pair of wins at their home tournament last weekend - a sweep of Ole Miss and 3-1 victory over Wyoming.

KEY STORYLINES

South Dakota State takes on three teams either ranked or receiving votes this weekend. The Jackrabbits have never beat a ranked team and have only take a set off a ranked team one time - a 3-1 loss to No. 15 Middle Tennesse State in 2008.
The SDSU defense is top-51 in the nation in digs and blocks per set - 45th in BPS (2.60) and 51st in DPS (15.53). Those categories are led by Madison Burr's 1.20 blocks per set and Joslyn Richardson's 3.40 digs per set.
Dayton and Minnesota will be SDSU's fourth and fifth opponents of 2025 that played in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, joining Illinois, UNI and Ole Miss.
SDSU has two wins over power conference opponents this year, the third and fourth such victories in program history and first since 2008.
The Jackrabbits have four Minnesota natives on their roster - Meghan Roggenkamp (Rockford), Rachel Wieber (Northfield), Hannah Klein (Albany) and Madison Burr (Goodhue)
Sylvie Zgonc paces SDSU with 4.13 kills per set through four matches. Through Sept. 10, Zgonc ranks third in the country with 12.53 attacks per set and is top-50 in kills per set.
Sydni Schetnan and Madison Burr, the team's top blockers in 2024, each average more than one block per set this year.
SDSU returns eight of 11 players from its regular rotation in 2024, including Summit League Player of the Year and All-America honorable mention Sylvie Zgonc.
The Jackrabbits have 76 percent of their scoring production from 2024 back in 2025 with their top-three kill leaders - Zgonc (4.36 KPS), Schetnan (2.49 KPS) and Burr (1.87 KPS). SDSU returns its top producer in every stat category.
South Dakota State was picked to win the Summit League in the preseason poll following a 15-1 conference record in 2025.
