So it looks like the match on Tuesday @ Frost Arena will be for a share of the regular season title for the Yotes! Huge match.
Unless I messed up the tie-breakers, we are likely headed for a 4-seed regardless of the outcome (St Thomas knocking off KC would unlock a two-seed for the Yotes).
The way we are playing right now, it doesn't matter what seed we get - The Yotes should be in the championship, in my estimation. Especially playing at home with the crowds we have been drawing.
A rematch against NDSU in the SCSC doesn't scare me much. After that we would likely have to beat both Omaha AND KC in some order to be determined by the Tuesday match. Not easy, but I believe.
Or, we might be playing Denver or SDSU in the final... Who really knows.

All I know for sure is if we beat SDSU tomorrow night we will share the Summit League regular season title. And 99% sure KC is in the drivers seat for the #1

And 99% sure KC is in the drivers seat for the #1 I have to assume that some of our sports media folks have looked into it, given the impact on Coyote volleyball this year? Would love to see it explained somewhere, or at least for the conference to provide it on the website, or whatever. Seems strange it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Coach Williamson on the Coyote Report last night basically said she wasn't sure what all the tiebreakers were either, but did say they were probably the 4 seed.

I think our hope of a 2-seed resides on both winning tonight, and KC losing to St Thomas. (ROLL TOMS!) Without KC in the mix, we would beat Denver and lose to Omaha in a tie based on sets won.
A BYE would be valuable in a 3-day consecutive match tournament, but the way the Yotes are playing right now, I think the other teams would be foolish not to be worried...

Nice plus with the 4 seed is that we play the late game everyday, obviously assuming we keep winning. Later games should make it much easier to get a big USD crowd and create more of a home court advantage.
Sunday: 2PM 3 vs 6 & 5 PM 4 vs 5 Monday: 4PM 2 vs 3/6 winner & 7PM 1 vs 4/5 winner Tuesday: 7PM Championship

What I DID think about is that the Jacks are playing so well right now, I'd rather not play them in the first or second round. I think we match up well vs NDSU (unlike last year) for whatever reason. 4-seed with a co-championship is fine. Great, in fact. I wouldn't mind the BYE, though.

Winning a share of the regular season crown during what many would consider a down year is an amazing feat and just goes to show the quality of program we have

Looks like the field is set. Just like we thought, with 4 co-champions and the Yotes in the 4v5 match.
Bring on the Tournament!

2023 All-Summit League Volleyball Team First Team
Cassie Davis, Denver, OH Leah Green, Kansas City, DS Madison Harms, South Dakota, MB Sydney Henry, Kansas City, S Ali Hinze, North Dakota State, OH Kelley Johnson, North Dakota State, S Shayla McCormick, Omaha, OH McKenna Ruch, Omaha, MB Kylen Sealock, South Dakota, OH Marissa Stockman, North Dakota, MB Odyssey Warren, Kansas City, OH Sylvie Zgonc, South Dakota State, OH
Honorable Mention Gianna Bartalo, Denver, DS Cadi Boyer, Denver, MB Briley Decker, Denver, S Kaia Dunford, Kansas City Rachel Fairbanks, Omaha, OH Carly Gillen, Kansas City, MB Molly Mirabelli, Denver, MB
Freshman Team Arianna Blohm, North Dakota State, MB Briley Decker, Denver, S Amanda Hardt, Omaha, OH Emily Huss, Omaha, MB Lauren Jansen, North Dakota State, OH Avery Van Hook, South Dakota, S Sylvie Zgonc, South Dakota State, OH
Honestly, I don't have much of a problem with the picks this year. Ali Hinze probably was out of the running for POY simply because the Bison finished 5th, and finished the year with consecutive losses.
