SDSU SOCCER…The SDSU soccer team finds itself in a unique situation – winless in Summit League play, with no room for error.
The Jackrabbits dropped a 1-0 decision to Oakland Sunday, but head coach Lang Wedemeyer was proud of the team’s effort. 97625 :17 “back in it”.
SDSU starts a four-game home stand Friday night against winless IUPUI – then host league-leader Western Illinois Sunday. Wedemeyer says those are must-win matches. 97626 :27 “chance at all”.
The top four teams in the league standings at the end of regular season play advance to the conference tournament.
Friday’s match starts at 6:00pm – Sunday’s play begins at 1:00pm.
SDSU VB…South Dakota State begins its second time around the Summit League volleyball schedule Friday night – hosting Nebraska-Omaha in the “Dig Pink” match to benefit breast cancer prevention and research. Play starts at 7:00pm in Frost Arena.
The Jackrabbits handled the Lady Mavs earlier, but head coach Phil McDaniel says it seems UNO’s doing better. 97627 :13 “to be prepared”.
SDSU had a chance last weekend to build a cushion in terms of the league race, but were swept at home. McDaniel says it’s now a battle to get a post-season conference tourney berth. 97628 :27 “we start going”.
SDSU volleyball coach Phil McDaniel.
BLIZZARD…It’s another home and away weekend for the Brookings Blizzard.
Friday night, Austin visits for a 7:00pm game at Larson Ice Center, followed by a Saturday rematch at Coulee Region. Brookings coach Cory Laylin says Austin’s size and physicality present challenges. 97629 :27 “opportunity to win”.
The Blizzard split with Coulee Region last weekend – Laylin says the Blizzard have to pressure the Chill defensemen. 97630 :17 “carry the load”.
Brookings leads the Central Division with 12 points – two ahead of Austin.
NAIA FB POLL…Dakota Wesleyan has moved up six spots in this week's NAIA football coaches' poll to No. 19.
The Tigers downed unranked Dordt 45-31 on Saturday. They travel to No. 4 Morningside of Iowa this coming Saturday.
No other teams in the Dakotas were ranked in this week's poll, which saw no changes in the Top Five. Marian is No. 1, Georgetown of Kentucky No. 2, Missouri Valley No. 3 and William Penn No. 5.
SF SPORTS AUTHORITY…The executive director of the Sioux Falls Sports Authority is retiring at the end of the year.
Mike Sullivan says he plans to return to Jacksonville, Fla., where he spent 28 years prior to coming to Sioux Falls. He says he wants to be closer to his two children and two grandchildren.
The 65-year-old Sullivan was the Sports Authority's first leader and has led the organization for five years. He says it provides a tremendous base, and people now know they can bring an event to Sioux Falls and it'll be successful.
Sullivan was instrumental in Sioux Falls hosting Summit League championships in basketball, baseball and outdoor track and field. The basketball tournaments have set records for attendance, sponsorship dollars and media coverage.
NEBRASKA AD… Shawn Eichorst is promising to immerse himself in the culture of the Cornhuskers as he prepares for his new job as Nebraska athletic director.
Eichorst plans to make few changes within the department, saying the programs were already on the right track under the leadership of retiring director Tom Osborne.
Eichorst left his job as athletic director at scandal-tainted Miami last week for a five-year contract to succeed Osborne. The 75-year-old Osborne — one of college football's legendary coaches — announced late last month that he will retire Jan. 1 after five years on the job.
