Georgia Tech jumped out to leads in all three sets against South Dakota to score a 3-0 win in the championship match of the National Invitational Volleyball Tournament Tuesday before a record crowd of 2,431 inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center.

Scores went 25-23, 25-23 and 25-17.

The Yellow Jackets out of the ACC won five consecutive matches to take the crown and dropped just two sets in the process. Georgia Tech ended its season on a 10-game win streak to finish 26-8 overall.

South Dakota lost at home for the first time in 19 matches dating back to last season, ending the nation’s fourth-longest streak. The Coyotes finished with a 31-3 record, an undefeated Summit League title, and completed the program’s best season at any level.
