On Friday, Sept. 5, the Ole Miss Volleyball team traveled to Brookings, S.D., for the South Dakota State University Invitational. They faced South Dakota and Wyoming.
The Lady Rebels were swept 3-0 in sets, dropping their overall record to 2-2. Junior Gabi Placide finished with 12 kills and three blocks.
In the first set, kills by Placide and junior Tessa Jones gave Ole Miss a 5-4 lead, but South Dakota State responded with a 5-0 run. The Lady Rebels kept fighting: They took advantage of Jackrabbit errors, and a combined block by Placide and Jones trimmed the South Dakota State lead to just one.
