Meet the Jacks:
 Outside Hitter Crystal Burk plays all six rotations for the Jacks and averages 4.24 kills and 3.26 digs per set this year, which rank first and second on the team, respectively. She notches 4.30 kills per set in conference games, which ranks second in the Summit behind USD's Elizabeth Juhnke (5.78 kills per set). She ranks seventh in the nation in total kills (382), seventh in total points (425) and 10th in total attacks (1,041). Burk continues to climb a number of SDSU's career charts. With seven attacks against the Coyotes Friday she will become the Jackrabbits' all-time career attacks leader.  Setter Raegen Reilly dishes 10.13 assists per set in Summit games, ranking third in the league. Her 885 total assists this season ranks 15th in the nation. Reilly's 885 total assists is fourth in a single season in the program's 25-point rally scoring era. Six assists against USD will bring Reilly's total to 891, which would rank third. Reilly is tied for first on the team (22) in total service aces.  Libero Jadyn Makovicka notches 3.36 digs per set overall and 3.93 in Summit games.  Middle Blocker Sydney Andrews averages a team-best 1.01 blocks per set.  Middle Blocker Ella Thompson is second on the team in kills per set with 2.23 kills per set.

Meet the Yotes:
 Junior all-American outside hitter Elizabeth Juhnke continues to lead the nation in kills and kills per set. Juhnke recorded a league record 39 kills in South Dakota's five-set match against NDSU on Sept. 27. The 39 kills set a USD program record and set the mark for most kills in a match in the NCAA this season. Juhnke also set a USD three-set program record with 24 kills in South Dakota's 3-0 sweep of Oral Roberts on Oct. 13.  Junior middle blocker Madison Harms led the Coyotes to a 3-2 reverse sweep of Denver last week with a career-high 13 blocks, which ties for second in the five-set program record.  Senior Outside Hitter Aimee Adams totaled seven kills with no errors to hit .368 as the Coyotes snapped Omaha's eight-game winning streak last week.  Fifth-year defensive specialist Lolo Weideman continues to lead the Summit in digs per set. Weideman hit a career-mark in the Sept. 24 Denver match, totaling 34 digs and matching the four-set program record.  Junior Setter Brooklyn Schram is second in the league in Assists.

Also: a little bird told me Matti Woodin (freshman backup Setter) might be getting some extensive playing time tonight. I don't know why, but I assume that Schram's foot injury might be a nagging one, and they will be judicious with her playing time? Something to watch, anyway. Woodin previously got a lot of playing time vs St Thomas, and started the next match against Western Illinois. Both were wins.

I'll be attending with my Dad and daughter, so I might not post much in this thread until late or tomorrow. We'll see. I'm hoping for a high attendance match, maybe in the 1,700-plus range, which would be a top-3 or top-2 Summit all-time record for regular-season matches. The USD @ Omaha match drew the 4th highest regular-season crowd at somewhere between 1620 and 1630 (can't remember exactly). With this being a late-season rivalry match (and no home football game this Saturday), there is a lot going for it, attendance-wise. I'll try to post a picture of the crowd, either from social media or my own phone.

I'll try to post a picture of the crowd, either from social media or my own phone. 1700 would be considered a huge crowd for Stanford, USC and most Pac 12 teams so it is great these teams get such wonderful support. You have turned me into a true believer and have my USD Coyotes winning 3-1. Yeah, I think there is lots of room for fan growth in the sport at all levels. It's a great spectator sport. Similar time commitment to basketball. With the growth of the sport at the youth level, we will get there eventually. If we (USD) can average 2K attendance for basketball, there's no reason we cant get closer to that number in volleyball IMO (lately averaging around 1,000, maybe 1,200-1,300 this year). I think that some of the top-tier mid-majors in our region are a good model for an attendance goal. Places like Creighton, Colorado State, Northern Iowa, Wichita State, etc. Following a winning team helps to indoctrinate new fans, teach them about the sport, then they realize how fun it is. That's how it went for me. I started following the Husker VB team in the early 2000s simply because I moved to Omaha and everyone I knew was into it. The free access on public TV helped, too. When I moved back to SD 2011 I eventually started following the Yotes (my alma mater). Chain reaction. With the growth of the fan base in Vermillion, Coach Leanne has done a good job of offering herself and staff before some matches to teach a "crash course" about volleyball and Q&A sessions with fans. Smart strategy IMO. |
