If you were at the softball games this past week, you saw a different team then what anyone has seen in the last couple of years. Somehow, someway, USD was able to sweep the 11th ranked team in the nation in Nebraska-Omaha. Then on Thursday, the Coyotes were able to take one out of two [...]
If you were there, you won’t forget it.
If you weren’t there, you need to see it.
During the USD-Augustana men’s basketball game back on Feb. 28, Rane Mergen nailed an 85-foot three-pointer at the halftime buzzer.
It was one of those shots that you see on ESPN’s nightly highlights.
Without further adeu, check out the video (courtesy of [...]
The UND women were put in an unusual place on Sunday, a third straight loss to USD. This time USD beat UND in the North Central Conference championship game. UND missed a three point basket at the buzzer that would have tied the game. Immediately, the team went to their bench and quickly ran off [...]
OK, allow me to be the first person from The Volante to say this: What happened last night?
To be fair, I wasn’t at the game, but at this point does it matter? It was brutal, regardless of how far from Vermillion you were.

The Coyote women finished [...]

Seven North Central Conference men’s track and field teams and seven women’s track and field teams will start the quest for the final NCC Indoor track and field championship title Friday and Saturday in Mankato, Minn.

As our religious friends from Augustana make their way down to Vermillion for tomorrow night’s basketball doubleheader against USD, let me be the first to welcome them to our humble abode.
Vermillion ain’t Sioux Falls by any means, but down here, we breed successful basketball teams. And right now, that’s what we Vermillionaires care about.
Yet, let [...]
By virtue of Saturday’s 74-54 thumping of Minnesota-Duluth, the USD women’s basketball team has clinched a share of the North Central Conference regular season title.
The Coyotes need just one more win (or a North Dakota loss) to capture the outright conference title. The last time USD accomplished that feat was the 2002-2003 season, when the [...]
This is the full version of the Men’s Basketball Commentary that I wrote for the 2/20 issue of The Volante. I decided to put this up on the sports blog because it is a little more fleshed out than the one that ran. Some of my full points were cut due to space restraints in [...]
