Jurgensmeier reaches 1,000-kill milestone as Volleyball falls to South Dakota
Nov 6, 2025 | Volleyball
VERMILLION, S.D. – Omaha Volleyball senior Kali Jurgensmeier (Wahoo, Neb.) hit 1,000 kills in the Mavericks' four-set loss to South Dakota on the road Thursday.
The outside hitter has been chasing the milestone all season and was just six kills shy heading into tonight's match. Early on in the second set, Jurgensmeier was able to send one home off a set from junior Davis Guetterman (Louisburg, Kan.). Jurgensmeier was forced to sit out part of her sophomore season due to an injury and reached 1,000 kills in just 93 matches.
The Mavericks (7-14, 4-8) took the first set 25-14, but South Dakota (17-8, 9-4) rallied to win the next three 25-17, 25-17 and 25-21.
Jurgensmeier did not stop with six kills. She continued on to tally 22 for a new career-high. Of the Mavericks' 48 kills, she was credited with 45.8 percent of them. Freshman Lara Marić (Brisbane, Australia) had the next highest tally with eight to tie her career-high.
Junior Emily Huss (Fairbury, Neb.) tallied five assisted blocks to lead the Mavs.
Omaha returns home on Saturday to face Denver at noon CT. Tickets can be purchased at OMavs.com/Tickets or by calling 402-554-MAVS. Saturday's match will air on the Summit League Network.
