A home match with Iowa and seven other teams that finished the 2018 season in the top 100 of the NCAA RPI rankings highlight South Dakota volleyball’s 2019 schedule released Monday by head coach Leanne Williamson.
The Coyotes will host a tournament inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center for the second-straight season. Three road tournaments and a nonconference match against Iowa State, the 2018 National Invitational Volleyball Championship champions, precedes the 16-game Summit League slate.
Two of the three teams coming for the South Dakota Classic on Sept. 13-14 had RPI’s inside the top 100 in Iowa and Wyoming while UC Davis completes the field. South Dakota will face Wyoming and UC Davis on Friday while taking on Iowa on Saturday evening. The Hawkeyes become the first Big Ten team to visit Vermillion while the match marks the eighth time that USD will face a team from the Big Ten.
