In front of an Augustana-dominated crowd, the USD women's
volleyball team shocked the No. 10 Vikings 3-1 (30-26, 27-30,
30-28, 30-23) Friday night inside a raucous DakotaDome.
The victory pushed the Coyotes to 17-3 on the season,
including a 2-2 mark in North Central Conference action.
"This was definitely one of our top wins over the past few
years," USD coach Brian Lamppa said. "A lot of our girls
hadn't ever beaten Augie. Knocking off a team like that was
huge for our confidence."
Thanks to a players-only meeting last Sunday, the Coyotes
came out with a newfound sense of confidence and cruised to
the first set victory.
After dropping the second set, USD took the next two for the
win.
USD junior Kathleen Hruska said the meeting was focused on
confidence and ways the team can be more positive and hold
each other accountability.
"We all said that we can't get down on ourselves," Hruska
said. "It wasn't like teams were dominating us; we were
beating ourselves. We wanted to come out, stay positive and
get revenge on Augie."
The Coyotes will face No. 3 Minnesota-Duluth Saturday at 4
p.m. inside the DakotaDome.
Look for next week's print issue of The Volante to see
where the Coyotes rank in the NCC and region picture. And
