Sep. 2—NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. — The University of Jamestown women's volleyball team saw their four-match winning streak come to an end when they lost in four sets to Dakota State University (16-25, 18-25, 25-18, 23-25) on Saturday, Sept. 2, at the United Sports Academy.

The Trojans had a hitting percentage of .324 in the first set as they had 16 kills and only five errors.

After the first set was tied at six, the Trojans went on a 4-0 run to take a 10-6 lead and they would not relinquish the lead for the rest of the set getting a 25-16 first set win.

The Jimmies scored the first point of the second set on an ace but the Trojans would respond with a run to stretch the lead out to 11-6. The Jimmies cut the deficit to 11-10 before the Trojans responded with a run to get the 25-18 second set win. The Trojans were helped by Jimmies' errors as their last three points were all from miscues.

Early in the third set, the Jimmies sprinted out to a 7-2 lead and never trailed in the set. However, the Trojans (5-4) did go on a late run to make the defending national champions sweat as they cut the deficit to 19-17 but the Jimmies responded with a 6-1 run to get the 25-18 third set win.

After the teams traded the lead back and forth in the fourth set, the Jimmies appeared to be on their way to forcing a fifth set, up 21-17 but the Trojans had other ideas tying the set up at 21 and eventually getting a 25-23 fourth set win.

The Coyotes (6-5) started the second set very sloppily as the Jimmies got out to a 5-0 lead, with three of those points coming off errors.

The Jimmies finished the set on a kill from Lexi Olson to make it 25-16.

The third set was very competitive until the Jimmies got a kill to push their lead out to 13-8, which kickstarted a 6-0 run to push the lead out to 18-8. The Jimmies ended the set on a kill to make it 25-14.
