The Black Hills State University Volleyball team dropped its season opener to Metro State Saturday in three sets.

After coming out strong right away and putting up three points to the Roadrunners zero, Metro State was able to go on a handful of short scoring runs which put the game out of reach after going up early in play. The final score would be 14-25.

In the second set the Jackets played hard but after falling behind 9-17 they were unable to pull off the comeback and dropped the set 22-25.

The third and final set of play saw the Jackets and Roadrunners trade points until the Roadrunners went on a run putting them up 7-13 which proved to be too much for the Jackets to overcome. The Jackets ended up dropping the set 19-25.

Kindra Cerrone led the team in kills with seven on the day. While Haedyn Rhoades recorded double digit digs in the match-up with 16. Cerrone also led the team in kills with seven while Sierra Ward and Madee Hoopman both were close behind with six apiece.

Defensively Peyton Bodemann led the team with six total blocks while Sierra Ward recorded two.
