Coyotes spoil Senior Night for Jacks

Jackrabbits all shook up

The Jacks had a rockin’ good time in Oklahoma in more ways than one. The SDSU volleyball team received a crash-course in plate tectonics on their road trip last weekend. Yes, they experienced an earthquake. Actually, two earthquakes, but most players were sleeping during the Friday-night quake. “Most of our players didn’t feel the first [...]

Another weekend, another sweep

Questions abound as the Jacks continue to struggle in conference play. The SDSU Jackrabbits volleyball team has been digging a hole for themselves as of late.
