The South Dakota State volleyball team experienced a shocking defeat in the Summit League championship match, losing to in-state rival South Dakota in five sets. Despite their strong season and high RPI ranking of 29, the Jackrabbits must now hope for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The team’s head coach, Dan Georgalas, praised his players for their success this season, which saw them triple their win total from the previous year. Georgalas highlighted the team’s resilience, noting that their only two losses of the season came in five-set matches. He also emphasized the team’s unity and commitment to the “we over me” philosophy that helped them achieve a successful season. The Selection Show to determine the field of 64 for the NCAA Tournament will air on ESPN on Sunday night at 5 PM. Despite the disappointing loss in the championship match, the Jackrabbits remain hopeful for a chance to compete in the postseason and continue their impressive season.
