SDSU #1 Seed
NDSU #2 Seed

IF IPFW wins vs IUPUI then #3 seed.
If IPFW loses, then #4 seed.

WIU in #4 if IPFW wins.
ORU in #3 if IPFW loses.

New 3 schools get 3 of 4 of the championship slots.

Congrats Rabbits!!!! We knew we'd compete quickly in this league!

Re: Summit League Championship

How is the crowd tonite?

I heard 941. I don't remember if it was announced at the game or if I heard it on the radio afterward. I'm not sure what constitutes a good crowd for volleyball, but it seemed respectable.

Way to go, Jacks!

5:00 Friday night in Fort Wayne
Jacks vs. Western Illinois for the right to play for the conference title and the spot in the NCAA Tourney.


South Dakota State (23-8, 13-3 Summit) earned the top seed after dropping just three Summit League matches. The Jacks boast three of the top five individual hitting percentages in the league in Amy Anderson (.358, first), Emily Rooney (.349, second) and Kristina Martin (.304, fifth). Anderson also leads the league in blocks (1.32 bpg), while freshman setter Melia Iwamoto is tops in assists (12.94 apg). Libero Samantha Pearson is third in digs (5.66 dpg), while Martin (4.31) and Mackenzie Angner (4.09) rank second and third, respectively, in kills. As a team, SDSU leads the league in hitting percentage (.260), blocks (2.60) and service aces (1.64), and ranks second in assists (14.50) and third in kills (15.89)

I can see/hear it now over the PA at Coughlin about 4:00pm Saturday. SDSU Volleyball defeats NDSU for a tournament birth at about the same time Corey Koenig is raising the dakota marker over his head. Perfect...

Re: Summit League Championship

I was at the game with my brother and 2 of my children. Great atmosphere. Crowd was announced at just under 1000 but it seemed like more than that.

If you have ever thought about attending a VB game and just didn't do it for whatever reason, do it. I intend to make it too many more games next year.

Good for you JackMD...you're right on. I've watched Jack volleyball for a number of years, and it is exciting, the athleticism is great, the action fast.

By the way, IMHO, the Jacks played their best volleyball EVER Saturday night, at least during the years I've watched. The digs were PHENOMENAL, the hustle outstanding, and the serve/receive passes (which have been a problem at times during this season) were excellent! If they can replicate that this weekend, they WILL be the tournament champions.

Re: Summit League Championship

I think when, not if, they are conference champions they are a legit threat to win a NCAA tourney game. Unlike Oral Roberts last year, I think the Jacks have some of the weapons to get the job done against top notch competition.
