SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Sanford Pentagon will host a volleyball match between South Dakota State and Chicago State on Sept. 6.
Tickets will be available at Ticketmaster.com.
South Dakota State is coming off a 19-12 season, completing the conference regular season with a 10-8 record. The Jackrabbits made their first appearance in the Summit League postseason in more than 10 seasons and reached the semifinals of the tournament. SDSU returns six seniors including All-Summit League First Team performer, Crystal Burk. Dan Georgalas enters his third season as head coach.
Chicago State will visit the Sanford Pentagon for the first time in program history. The Cougars finished last season with a 17-11 record. They played in the program’s first-ever national post-season match, a loss to Bradley in the first round of the National Invitational Volleyball Championship. Yanlis Feliz, the WAC Player of the Year and AVCA All-American, returns for the Cougars.
The Jackrabbits last played on Heritage Court on Sept. 29, 2019, a five-set loss to Western Illinois.
