The Summit finishes non-conference play 45-40, a whopping 14 wins better than preseason projections, with 6 of 8 teams exceeding expectations. 🏐

I’ll be recording a Midterm Review sometime today to break down these numbers and more.

League play is going to be fun.

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

A tip of the cap to Summit League volleyball players. The bumps, bruises and tape are adding up, but you keep giving it your all. We appreciate the heart, effort and talent you bring every week. 🏐

The latest ZVolleyball bracket projection has South Dakota earning the Summit’s automatic bid and facing No. 7 seed Michigan State in the BYU bracket to open the NCAA Tournament.

Nice to see the Coyotes moving closer to the seed line.

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

The Coyotes big win at SDSU on Friday boosted its Bumpset at-large probability from 10% to 29%.

There’s room to climb: 7 of the 17 teams ahead of the Coyotes in the Non-Power 4 Top 25 are projected to lose at least one match before their conference tournaments.

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Omaha moves to 6–3 in the Summit with a 3–1 win over North Dakota! 🏐

How about Faith Venable and Madison Corf today?
🔥 Venable: 20 kills on .486 hitting
🔥 Corf: 17 kills on .452 hitting

A combined 37 kills and a strong bounce-back win for the Mavs!

[Omaha Volleyball @OmahaVB]

Down go the Hawks!

Did that just happen?! Unbelievable fourth and fifth sets as St. Thomas pulls off the reverse sweep to settle the score with NDSU! 🏐

The Tommies move to 6–3 in the Summit with their fifth straight win. Anya Schmidt can HIT: 26 kills and 13 digs! Morgan Kealy dished out 46 assists.

[St. Thomas Volleyball @Tommievball]

Reverse sweep complete 🧹

#RollToms | #Phamily

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Another Summit thriller! St. Thomas and NDSU are headed to a fifth after an edge-of-your-seat fourth set that just wouldn’t end! 🏐

The big hitters are putting on a show: Lauren Jansen has 25 kills for the Bison, and Anya Schmidt has 18 for the Tommies.

[St. Thomas Volleyball @Tommievball]

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

#RollToms | #Phamily

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Quick trip around the Summit! 🏐

Kansas City sweeps at Oral Roberts, hitting .337 to move to 4–4 in league play.

St. Thomas heats up in the third, winning 25–14. NDSU leads 2–1.

UND takes the opening set at Omaha on a sizzling .562 hitting!

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

After five-set heartbreakers against USD and SDSU last week, NDSU is playing with confidence! The Bison lead 2–0 at St. Thomas, hitting .328.

Blohm has 5 kills on .714 hitting, while John has 7 kills on .333. Bison are rolling today!

[NDSU Volleyball @NDSUvolleyball]

Make that a 7-0 Bison run! 💪

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

The Bison look right at home on the road! NDSU takes the opening set at St. Thomas, extending its road set streak to seven and snapping the Tommies 12-set winning run.

NDSU hit .370, paced by Blohm (.750) and Tallman (.500).

[NDSU Volleyball @NDSUvolleyball]

Up after one!

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Maybe I’m short on sleep, or maybe I’m predicting the future. 😂

Correction: the Tommies have won 12 straight sets. Got a little ahead of myself!

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Strength vs. strength: NDSU’s Summit-best hitting % meets the top opponent hitting defense.

The Tommies have won 16 straight sets. The defending tournament champs are rolling, but NDSU can play with anyone.

Should be a good one! 🏐

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Gameday in the Summit! 🏐

Three matches on tap, headlined by a big NDSU–St. Thomas showdown.

Oral Roberts hunts its first league win against Kansas City, while a scrappy North Dakota squad looks to spring an upset at Omaha.

Enjoy another great day of volleyball.

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

For the sixth straight meeting, South Dakota State and South Dakota volleyball drew over 2,200 fans. This time, a rivalry-best 3,252 created an electric atmosphere!

Great programs, passionate fans, and Summit League volleyball at its best. Love to see it!

[Jackrabbit Volleyball @GoJacksVB]

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Both teams deserve a standing ovation after this match. Thank you South Dakota and South Dakota State for an amazing night of volleyball. That was intense. Coyotes win 3-2.

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Rivals. 1st place on the line. Let’s play 5. After 2 hours, 20 minutes my tank is on empty as a fan. What a match.

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Set 3: SDSU 25-16

This place went crazy after Brooke Larsen pulled a Kirby Puckett from Game 6 of the 1991 World Series bringing one back into play. Wow! Marisa Michaelis was an X factor that set for the Jacks.

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Set 2: USD 25-17.

Red section is happy. Audrey Nelson is hitting with authority tonight, 7 kills hitting .462. Van Hook with 24 assists after 2. Might be 1a before I get home tonight, feels like this might go the distance.

[SummitVBFan/Jeremy Cleveland @SummitVBFan]

Set 1: SDSU 25-22.

Feel free to charge me per set. This is an awesome environment. Stars are shining: Medeck and Zgonc with 6 kills, Gabi with 5.
