SDSU snaps 18-match losing streak, USD laments missed chances in close battle
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – In what was a back-and-forth battle Tuesday night, South Dakota State defeated South Dakota in five sets, snapping an 18-match losing streak that went back to 2015.
The Jackrabbits are still undefeated on the year, sitting 19-0 and in first place in the Summit League.
The Coyotes meanwhile fall to 13-6 on the year, and 5-3 in the Summit League. They’re currently in third place.
Both head coaches following the game said it was exactly the matchup they were expecting: close the whole way and coming down to a couple of key moments.
“The comeback in the fourth set, the fifth. The swings in momentum throughout the entire match. I just couldn’t be prouder of our group for never giving up and never stopping to believe that we could do it,” SDSU head coach Dan Georgalas.
“I really liked our fight, I liked our demeanor today. I think we were aggressive. We just made some errors in key moments. Obviously, you’d like to go back to that fourth set where we did have a chance to close out the match. We had some opportunities in there too, we just didn’t execute,” USD head coach Leanne Williamson said.
USD is back in action Thursday night in Vermillion against Denver, while SDSU is also home Saturday, also against Denver.

The annual South Dakota Department of Transportation snowplow naming contest is back.
Officials say it’s a chance to give a personal flair to the plows that keep the state’s roads clear every winter.
Anyone can submit a name online. DOT staff choose one winner for each of its 12 geographic districts.
Some past winning names include Thaw Enforcement, Frost and the Flurrious and Plowabunga.
This is the sixth year the state has held the naming contest. Officials say the state receives an average of around 700 submissions each year.
“Each winter, South Dakotans place their trust in the SDDOT to keep our state highways open. From families traveling statewide for recreational purposes to truck drivers transporting goods that fuel our economy, everyone depends on a reliable and safe public transportation system,” said Transportation Secretary Joel Jundt. “Last winter, SDDOT introduced a new text notification service that provides subscribers with direct updates for any winter-related Interstate closure. This free service builds upon our SD511 system, making it even easier for drivers to access current information seamlessly.”
The contest is open through Dec. 12.
As part of the contest, the DOT also created snowplow and winter driving awareness coloring sheets, crossword puzzles and word finds for families and classrooms. New materials are available for download on the contest page.
