TABLE OF CONTENTS

150 copies of the 2012-13 SDSU Women’s Basketball Media Guide were produced by Jason Hove and the Jackrabbit Sports Informa-tion Service at a cost of $10.97 per copy.

The more things change, the more they staythe same.

The South Dakota State University women’sbasketball will attempt to prove that old adagecorrect as it prepares for the 2012-13 season.Despite losing two 1,000-point scorers, undergo-ing a bit of a shakeup in the coaching staff andfacing a challenging schedule, veteran headcoach Aaron Johnston believes the Jackrabbitsstill have the talent and ability to make anotherrun at the NCAA Tournament.

“I think this will be a unique year in thatwe’ve always had multiple proven scorers,”Johnston said. “We have always been a greatjump-shooting team, but I think we’ve adjustedour offense that our strengths this season aregoing to be penetration, transition and getting tothe basket.”

While an emphasis on tough half-court defense remains, Johnston said the Jackrabbitshave made some adjustments offensively andwill force the issue more than in recent years.

“A big part of our focus so far has been onbuilding our offensive concepts and getting play-ers ready,” Johnston said. “This team will be atits best when it is playing up-tempo and in a full-court setting.”

Exactly who will step forward to take on theroles of departed 1,000-point scorers Jill Youngand Jennie Sunnarborg remains to be seen, butthis year’s roster figures to be among deepest inJohnston’s 13-year tenure as head coach. Theduo of Sunnarborg and Young were cornerstoneplayers on Jackrabbit teams that made an unprecedented four consecutive NCAA Tourneyappearances in the first four years the programwas fully eligible for Division I postseason consideration.

Four seniors return to lead the Jackrabbits thisseason, including second-team all-SummitLeague selection from a year ago, Ashley Eide.The team’s top returning scorer at 10.9 pointsper game, Eide did a little bit of everything forthe Jackrabbits last season as she led the team in

field goal percentage (.502), while ranking second in five other categories, including assists(75) and steals (37).

Two other seniors with extensive starting experience are forward Leah Dietel and centerKatie Lingle.

Dietel started the final 20 games of the 2011-12 season and averaged 3.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. Lingle started the first 13games of the year before providing a boost offthe bench with averages of 6.4 points and 4.8rebounds per game while adding a team-best 24blocked shots.

Rounding out the senior class is guard StephPaluch, who has progressed well through her rehabilitation from a knee injury she suffered inthe semifinals of the Summit League Champi-onships in March. The Pierre native began the2011-12 season as the Jackrabbits’ starting pointguard, but saw her production increase when shemoved to the off-guard spot. Paluch led theJackrabbits in both steals (44) and assists (78)last season and would have the option to redshirtthis season.

“We’ve worked really hard with our seniorson developing leadership,” Johnston said. “Allthose players have had big-game experience.They know how to win, they know how to prac-tice every day and they know how to preparethemselves.”

The junior class consists of guard Tara Heiserand forward Hannah Strop. Heiser stepped into astarting role after Paluch’s injury and ended theyear averaging 4.0 points and 2.5 rebounds.Heiser scored a season-high 12 points in her firststart of the 2011-12 campaign, when the Jacksdefeated UMKC in overtime to win their fourthconsecutive Summit League tournament title.

Strop hit some big shots from the perimeterduring the 2011-12 campaign, finishing the yearwith averages of 2.5 points and 2.3 rebounds pergame.

The key to the Jackrabbits’ success could liein a talented sophomore class.

2012-13 ROSTER

Gabby Boever turned in a strong second halfduring the 2011-12 season and will be in the mixfor the starting point guard position this year,Johnston said. Boever was especially strong inthe postseason as she posted averages of 8.3points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game inthree Summit League tournament contests.

Johnston also expects forwards Mariah Clarinand Megan Stuart to make significant contribu-tions this season. Clarin played in 24 games lastseason, averaging 2.8 points and 2.4 reboundsper game.

Stuart, meanwhile, played in 22 games andaveraged 1.9 points per contest.

“This is one of the best and deepest groups ofposts we’ve had,” Johnston said. “They all havedifferent strengths and give us a great deal offlexibility to change our style depending on theopponent.”

Another sophomore, Rachel Walters, providedthe Jackrabbits with effective long-range shoot-ing down the stretch last season. The Sioux Fallsnative went 8-for-16 from three-point range overthe final five games of the season and finishedfourth on the team with 24 three-pointers despiteaveraging only eight minutes per game.

Completing the sophomore class is wingMegan Waytashek, who has played in only sixgames since January 2011 due to injury. Waytashek received an injury hardship and isworking back to full strength. When healthy,Waytashek has been a versatile performer whocan play either on the perimeter or on the block.

The 2012-13 roster also includes three new-comers. Sophomore Anne Aamlid will add depth

at forward, while freshmen Chloe Cornemannand Jessica Hart will vie for playing time at theguard positions.

“We’ve got a great mix of seniors, juniors,sophomores and freshmen,” Johnston said.

Other new faces can be found on the coachingstaff following the departures of assistants ChadOletzke and Emilee Thiesse for head coachingpositions in the Division II ranks.

Stepping in to fill their roles are Mike Jewettand Carissa Nord. Jewett previously was headcoach at Southwest Minnesota State and has ex-tensive regional ties after previously serving asan assistant coach at both St. Cloud State andAugustana.

Nord served as a graduate assistant during the2011-12 season before being elevated to a full-time position just before the start of the schoolyear.

“It has been fun to see the new energy wehave as a staff this year,” Johnston said.

As has been the case throughout their time inDivision I, the Jackrabbits will play a challeng-ing non-conference schedule – one that includessix games against fellow NCAA Tournamentqualifiers.

“We need to do better in November and De-cember, and that’s going to be difficult with theschedule we play,” Johnston said. “But thisschedule is exactly what I want it to be — everygame we have a chance to win and every gamewe have a chance to lose.”

Four of those games will be at Frost Arena,including a Nov. 18 matchup against nationallyranked Nebraska. The Jackrabbits also will host

Creighton, Middle Tennessee and EasternMichigan, while traveling to Penn State andGeorgetown.

“Anytime we have had balance in our non-conference schedule we’ve been better,” John-ston said.

Other non-conference matchups include roadgames at postseason qualifiers Central Michigan(WNIT) and Northern Iowa (WBI), along with aneutral-site game against WNIT qualifier Villanova in the season opener Nov. 10 at a tour-nament hosted by the University of Minnesota.

The Summit League also has undergonechanges with the departures of Oral Roberts andSouthern Utah and the addition of Nebraska-Omaha. In addition, the league has adopted mirror scheduling for the 2012-13 season, mean-ing most conference games will be played onThursdays and Saturdays as opposed to the Saturday-Monday format of recent years.

“I think the conference schedule works outwell,” Johnston said, noting the travel within theleague has been reduced and the team will havea regularly designated off day most weeks onSunday.

“The conference will be really balanced, verycompetitive,” said Johnston, who has guided theJackrabbits to a 75-15 record and three league titles in regular season play since joining TheSummit League at the start of the 2007-08 season. “Everybody in the league has a chanceto be better this year. There will be no margin forerror.”

As the South Dakota State University women’s basketball team hasgrown into a championship-caliber team at the Division I level, so have theteam’s facilities.

Recent improvements included moving the team into a new locker roomduring the 2007-08 season as part of a Stanley J. Marshall HPER Centerexpansion project that included the addition of locker rooms for volleyballand women’s swimming.

In the fall of 2008, a new team room and lounge opened on the lowerlevel of the HPER Center, adjacent to Frost Arena. Team rooms play a vitalrole in allowing space to prepare for upcoming games, study betweenclasses and to also gather as a team to form the bond that allows them to bechampions on and off the court.

Student-athlete facilities have been further enhanced with the completionof the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center. Located in the north end zone ofCoughlin-Alumni Stadium, the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center housesan academic center for use by all Jackrabbit student-athletes, as well as astrength and conditioning center.

Construction on the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center marks the firststage of a master plan to dramatically modernize athletic facilities atSDSU.

The $6 million donated by Sioux Falls bankers Dana Dykhouse and T.Denny Sanford in the fall of 2007 set in motion the construction of the firstmajor athletic building on campus since Frost Arena in 1973.

Future projects outlined in the master plan include a new practice arenafor the Jackrabbit basketball teams, a new football stadium and fieldhouse.

2012-13 JACKRABBIT BASKETBALL


FACILITIES

Top: A new women’s basketball team room and team lounge were completed in time forthe 2008-09 season on the lower level of the Stanley J. Marshall HPER Center. Bottom: An academic center for all Jackrabbit student-athletes is housed in the

Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center, which opened in the spring of 2010.

The Jackrabbit women’s basketball team holds a decisive home-court advantage in Frost Arena, named after former Jackrabbit coach and athletic director R.B. “Jack” Frost.

Frost served as athletic director and professor and head of the physicaleducation department from 1947 until 1960. He also was an internationalleader in recreation, health and physical education

Frost Arena, which is part of the Stanley J. Marshall HPER Center, nowseats approximately 6,100 fans for basketball. The addition of chair-backlower-level seating prior to the 1992-93 season, as well as the addition ofchair-back seating in the lower level end zones and new student bleachershave reduced seating from the original all-bleacher capacity of 9,500.

In the fall of 2005, Frost Arena was included with Coughlin-Alumni Stadium in a $3 million Daktronics scoreboard project. The Frost Arenaportion includes a four-sided scoreboard with four ProStar® video screensmeasuring 12 feet by seven feet, two ProAd® displays measuring 60 feetlong by four feet high and a new full-color digital ProTable® scorers table.

Widely regarded as the finest arena with the best athletics atmosphere inthe state, Frost Arena also is home to the Jackrabbit men’s basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams. It was the site of the 2003 NCAA DivisionII North Central Regional women’s basketball tournament. Postseason basketball returned to Frost Arena in 2007 as two rounds of the Women’sNIT were played in front of capacity crowds.

Frost Arena also has been the site of six North Central Regional men’sbasketball tournaments, four NCAA Division II Wrestling National Cham-pionships, as well as the South Dakota Class AA Girls’ Basketball StateTournament in 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2012.

In addition, Frost Arena has been the site of graduation ceremonies, theannual Wacipi pow-wow, concerts and numerous other campus events.

Ground was broken Sept. 22, 1970, with the cornerstone placed by Gov.Richard Kneip on Oct. 2, 1971. Final cost of the building was $3,685,000,with the difference made up by gifts and donated items.

JACKRABBITS


South Dakota State University currently offers 21 varsity sports with Jackrabbitteams competing at the NCAA Division I level. Football competes in the Division IFootball Championship Subdivision Missouri Valley Football Conference, with 18sports competing in The Summit League. Wrestling competes in the WesternWrestling Conference, while equestrian currently does not have conference affiliation.

Following is a listing of sports currently offered at SDSU:

EVOLUTION OF A NICKNAMEThere are two theories as to how and why the Jackrabbit nickname evolved. The

most common belief is that the name “Jackrabbits” came from a story and cartoonsketch that appeared in a Minneapolis newspaper following a 1905 football game between the University of Minnesota and South Dakota State College, as the univer-sity was then known. A reporter for the newspaper, knowing of the preponderance ofjackrabbits in the Brookings area, was believed to have written that the SDSC teamwas as quick as jackrabbits. Many people believe that the school adopted the Jackrab-bits as its official nickname from that beginning.

The other theory about the origin of the nickname is given in The Jackrabbit,SDSU’s yearbook. There is a poem in the 1907 yearbook that puts forth the idea thatthe yearbook is called The Jackrabbit because a group of juniors wished to immortal-ize themselves by changing the name of the yearbook. Athletic teams followed suit,adopting the nickname.

Prior to the adoption of the Jackrabbit nickname, school athletic teams wereknown as the Barn Yard Cadets as SDSU was known as South Dakota State Collegeof Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1907.

DR. DAVID L. CHICOINE• President

David L. Chicoine, Ph.D., has served as the 19th president of South Dakota State University on January 1,2007, becoming the third alumnus to lead the state’s largest institution of higher education. President

Chicoine, who graduated in 1969 with a bachelor of science in agribusiness, also holds an appointment as professorin the Department of Economics.

President Chicoine has a long association with intercollegiate athletics, and is currently serving a four-year termon the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. Chicoine also serves as chair of the President’s Council for The Summit League — SDSU’s conference home for 18 of its 21 varsity sports — during the 2011-12 academic year,after filling the role of vice chair for two years. Previously, Chicoine served as the faculty representative to the BigTen Conference and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He served as chair of the Budget andFinance Committee for the Big Ten Conference fornine years of his 11-year term.

Upon his arrival at SDSU, President Chicoine implemented an aggressive strategic plan —“Achieving National Distinction, StrengtheningLocal Relevance.” The plan has four goals: enhanc-ing academic excellence, fostering economicgrowth, expanding the reach of the university, andcreating a sustainable financial resource.

During his tenure, enrollment has reached recordlevels of undergraduate students and Ph.D. candi-dates. Correspondingly, the amount of researchgrants and contract awards has jumped nearly 90percent during that time, and research expenditureswill exceed $60 million in the 2010-2011 academicyear.

To support the strategic plan, the SDSU Foundation in 2008 launched an aggressive comprehensive fund-raisingeffort — “It Starts with State: A Campaign for South Dakota State University” — with a goal of $200 million.

The most visible support for the campaign can be seen in several construction and renovation projects fundedprimarily by generous donors, all part of the largest campus building boom since the 1960s. The majority of the facilities enhance the university’s research capabilities and allow for new discoveries that drive technology-basedeconomic development in South Dakota.

Building a better academic model has also been part of President Chicoine’s agenda. In the fall of 2010, SDSUlaunched the state’s first architecture program through its College of Arts and Sciences. The program, created without any new state funding, will place a special emphasis on sustainable and renewable design practices.

The Chicoine administration also developed the new College of Education and Human Sciences in 2009, amerger of the former College of Education and Counseling, College of Family and Consumer Sciences and the Department of Health and Physical Education. It represented the first significant academic restructuring in morethan 40 years.

Dr. Chicoine brought more than 30 years of experience in higher education with the University of Illinois to hisrole as president of SDSU. He is a nationally recognized economist, specializing in public finance, taxation, andrural economics. His higher education administrative experience includes service as Head of the Department ofAgricultural Economics and Dean of the College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, at theUniversity of Illinois.

He has co-authored four books, 12 book chapters and more than 100 invited and/or peer reviewed academic journal articles. Dr. Chicoine served as an advisor to the Illinois General Assembly on tax issues, farmland propertytax assessments, public finance and rural economic issues. He served as a member of the Illinois Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors, and was a member of the board of the Illinois State Treasurer’s Technology Development Fund.

Chicoine received an M.S. in agricultural econcomics from the University of Delaware in 1971, and completedan M.A. in economics at Western Illinois University. In 1979, he completed his Ph.D. in agricultural economics atthe University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The president and his wife, Marcia, live in Woodbine Cottage on the SDSU campus. Their family includes son,Joshua, a Chicago-based musician; daughter-in-law Laura Ellsworth; granddaughter Sylvie; grandson Watson, andtheir late son, Jason.

THE SUMMIT LEAGUE


As The Summit League enters its fourth decade of Division I athletics, the performance level continues to rise to higher standards. A memorable 2011-12 campaign celebrated numerous record-setting and remarkable achievements for The Summit League, its member schools and student-athletes during the league’s 30th anniversary season. “Ascending” and “improving” are common adjectives used in media coverage of The Summit League as it continues its renaissance. Consisting of nine member institutions with over 3,000 student-athletes competing in 19 championship sports, The Summit League has enjoyed unprecedented success and development in recent history. Since rebranding as The Summit League in 2007, the league has produced 54 All-Americans, 37 Academic All-America selections and seven NCAA Championships. In the past seven seasons, Summit League teams have achieved fi nal national rankings in six different sports, won NCAA regional championships in two sports and advanced in three additional NCAA team championship tournaments. That level of success carries into both the classroom and athletic competition.

Record-Setting 2011-12 Season

In 2011-12 alone, The Summit League nearly doubled its all-time NCAA Champions total by claiming four national titles. IUPUI’s Chen Ni became the fi rst female to win multiple NCAA crowns when she claimed her second platform diving championship in three seasons. The Summit League produced its most successful NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships to date when its student-athletes won three titles. Southern Utah’s Cameron Levins, one of three fi nalists for the prestigious Bowerman Award, won the 10,000-meter and 5,000-meter races and became The Summit League’s fi rst student-athlete to fi nish fi rst in multiple events at a single championship. Oral Roberts’ Jack Whitt gave the league its third title when he won the pole vault competition. Two additional student-athletes collected NCAA statistical championships as Oakland’s Reggie Hamilton became The Summit League’s fi rst men’s basketball national scoring leader and Western Illinois’ Sammy Marshall was softball’s national leader in stolen bases per game. The Summit League’s growth and success is most evident at the annual Basketball Championships. Its 2012 event set a record for total attendance, including the all-time highest women’s tournament fi gure and the third-best overall men’s draw. The last four tournaments occupy each of the top four all-time tournament attendance totals in league history. Popularity of The Summit League’s marquee event reaches beyond the arena. The 2012 Basketball Championships marked the fi rst time in league history that all 14 men’s and women’s tournament games

appeared on national cable television. Since 2009, every tournament game has been televised, including the men’s championship on ESPN2 and the women’s title game on ESPNU. Men’s Basketball enjoyed a stellar season on and off the court. The Summit League fi nished 2011-12 with its highest RPI ranking in history, placing 16th among Division I conferences after peaking as high as No. 11 earlier in the season. A record fi ve teams played in national postseason tournaments with one, Oakland, making the deepest run in league history with three wins and a semifi nal appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The league-wide success translated to unprecedented fan support and an all-time best home attendance fi gure. Throughout the 2011-12 season, The Summit League measured up well against men’s basketball leagues across the country and fi nished with a .500 or better record against 15 of the 17 mid-major conferences. Against both Division I and overall non-league competition, The Summit League amassed its highest victory total and posted its best winning percentage on record. Under the national spotlight, The Summit League was one of only two conferences with multiple participating teams to post perfect records in nationally-televised BracketBuster games. In women’s athletics, The Summit League sent a record four teams to compete in national women’s basketball postseason tournaments, including an all-time high three in the WNIT. The volleyball season saw The Summit League ranked as high as No. 13 among the 33 Division I leagues in the Pablo Ranking system. With three national champions and the two-highest placing teams in league history at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, The Summit League solidifi ed itself as one of the national leaders in the sport. During the Indoor season, The Summit League fi nished ninth among men’s Division I leagues in the fi nal USTFCCCA conference index. A combined 12 men’s and women’s Indoor and Outdoor All-America honors went to Summit League student-athletes. The Summit League emphasizes a balance of outstanding athletics and academics. The NCAA honored a record 15 Summit League teams for APR success that included fi nishing among the top 10 percent for their sport. Individually, North Dakota State’s Amy Anderson continued to garner recognition as one of the NCAA’s top student-athletes by earning the National Golf Coaches Association’s Dinah Shore Trophy recognizing achievement in athletic performance, grade point average and community service. Similar honors went to IUPUI’s men’s soccer standout Perez Agaba, who earned selection to the Lowe’s Senior CLASS All-America team. A total of seven Summit League student-athletes were named to their sport’s Capital One Academic All-America teams, includes three fi rst team honorees.

Origins and Evolution

In 1982, the present-day Summit League was formed by commissioner F.L. “Frosty” Ferzacca as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities with eight schools competing in fi ve championship sports at the Division I level. Later known as the

THE SUMMIT LEAGUE


Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League has grown to a combined enrollment of over 144,000 students at nine universities, four of which are based in top-58 U.S. metro populations (Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City and Omaha). The Summit League’s two newest members, South Dakota and Nebraska Omaha, compete together for the fi rst time in 2012-13. Admitted to the league in 2009, USD completed its initial year of league competition in 2011-12 and is eligible for all championships this season. UNO joined the league in 2011 and is in its fi rst year of Summit League competition before becoming fully eligible for all sport championships in 2015-16. Current Summit League member institutions include: IPFW (Indiana-Purdue-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), the University of Nebraska Omaha, North Dakota State University, Oakland University, the University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University, and Western Illinois University. Eastern Illinois University competes as an associate member in swimming and diving and men’s soccer and Oral Roberts University is an associate member for men’s soccer. These member institutions pride themselves on providing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s indoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s outdoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The league champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in all applicable sports. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcendent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the fi rst round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament on its way to a berth in the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce Drew hit “the shot” to topple No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA fi rst-round game that sparked its 1998 Sweet 16 run. More recently, Oral Roberts’ baseball program fi nished the 2004 campaign with a national-ranking and became the fi rst Summit League school to reach an NCAA Super Regional in 2006. Three years later in 2009, North Dakota State became the league’s fi rst softball team to win an NCAA regional and advance to the Super Regional round. During the 2008-09 basketball season, South Dakota State’s women’s team was nationally-ranked throughout the year and capped its season with an NCAA Tournament fi rst round victory. The League has produced nine NCAA champions, four Olympic medalists and numerous All-Americans in the sports of track and fi eld, swimming and diving and cross country. Several professional athletes and draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball fi rst round picks, a pair of NBA fi rst round choices, and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguer Kevin Duckworth (NBA) was a two-time all-star during his professional career. To coincide with The Summit League’s 30th Anniversary Season, the league released a list of its Top 30 Distinguished Contributors from the Division I era as selected by a panel of voters from member schools and media. Four individual NCAA champions and three Olympic medalists along with four NBA players and two World Series Champions headlined The Summit League’s list of top student-athletes, coaches and administrators that was the jewel of the anniversary celebration.

One of the Summit League’s most iconic moments came when Valparaiso’s Bryce Drew hit “the shot”, a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, to top Mississippi in the fi rst round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament. Valpo’s story captivated the nation as they became the league’s second team to reach the “Sweet 16.”

Another year, another trip to the NCAA Tour-nament for the South Dakota State Universitywomen’s basketball team.

The Jackrabbits reclaimed the top spot in TheSummit League regular season standings for thethird time in five years and claimed their fourthconsecutive postseason tournament crown dur-ing the 2011-12 campaign.

SDSU received contributions up and down itslineup as it notched its 26th consecutive winningseason.Seniors Jennie Sunnarborg and Jill Youngled the way, with both players reaching the1,000-point milestone during the season. Youngreached the 1,000-point plateau first, reachingthe milestone in a Nov. 20 win over WashingtonState. Sunnarborg eclipsed the mark as shescored a career-high 31 points in a Jan. 14 homevictory over Kansas City.

The Jackrabbits opened the season with threehome wins to start the campaign with a 3-1record. SDSU then hit a couple bumps in theroad during the Cancun Challenge in Mexico asthey struggled offensively in losses to Cincinnati(Ohio) and Marist (N.Y.). The 55-22 defeat atthe hands of Cincinnati marked the lowest scor-ing output by a Jackrabbit team since the shotclock and three-point line were implemented.

The start of conference play proved to be theremedy as the Jackrabbits opened the SummitLeague season with a pair of road wins to closeout November and open December. SDSUbegan the slate with a convincing 82-56 win atWestern Illinois, followed by a hard-fought 74-63 victory in Indianapolis against IUPUI.

The Jackrabbits returned to non-conferenceaction in which four of five games were againsteventual NCAA Tournament qualifiers. SDSUswept a home-and-home series from Arkansas-Little Rock in the span of 10 days. The rest ofthe three games all resulted in losses — toNCAA qualifiers Kansas State and Nebraskaand at Marquette (Wis.). The 63-46 loss toKansas State proved to be the lone home loss ofthe season for the Jackrabbits.

SDSU closed out the calendar year with itsfirst two home conference games of the season.The Jackrabbits pushed their league record to 4-0 with a 62-52 win over Oakland on Dec. 29before scoring an 81-58 vicotry over Fort Wayneon New Year’s Eve.

The Jackrabbits would suffer their first leagueloss Jan. 7 at two-time defending regular seasonchampion Oral Roberts. SDSU let a lead slipaway down the stretch, falling 71-65 in theirfinal trip to Tulsa, Okla.

From there, South Dakota State seized controlof the Summit League race, reeling off nine con-secutive victories. The streak begain Jan. 9 atSouthern Utah and lasted more than a month.

Five of the victories came on the road, culmi-nating with a thriilling 79-73 come-from-behind

victory at Kansas City on Feb. 11. SDSU trailedby as many as 15 points in the first half and adozen at halftime before rallying behind double-doubles from Sunnarborg (16 points, 13rebounds) and Ashley Eide (10-10). Playing alarge role in the Jackrabbit victory was theirfree throw shooting; SDSU made 23-of-24 attempts at the line in the second half.

The streak came to an end Feb. 13, when theJackrabbits made their first appearance at theUniversity of South Dakota since the 2003-04season. SDSU led most of the night before theCoyotes rallied late to force overtime. The extrasession belonged to USD, which won 59-53.

The Jackrabbits were dominant the remainderof the regular season, winning their final threegames — all at Frost Arena — by an average of33 points. SDSU throttled North Dakota State,88-43, on the back end of a doubleheader withthe men’s team on Feb. 18 before scoring a 66-52 victory over IUPUI a week later to earn theoutright league championship.

SDSU reached the century mark in its regularseason finale, putting up 101 in a 40-point winover Western Illinois.

The scene shifted south 50 miles for theSummit League Championship in Sioux FallsMarch 3-6. Top-seeded SDSU opened the four-day event with a meeting against Fort Wayne.The Jackrabbits closed the first half on a 12-2run and cruised to an 80-59 victory over theMastodons.

Two days later, the Jackrabbits faced ascrappy IUPUI squad for the third time. SDSUovercame a slow start and the loss of startingguard Steph Paluch to a knee injury to advanceto the title game with a 79-54 win. Young madeall four of her three-point attempts in the secondhalf en route to a game-high 14 points.

The championship game pitted SDSU against

Kansas City on March 6. Just as they had intheir last regular season meeting, the Jackrab-bits found themselves in a huge deficit early on.UMKC led by as many as 17 points in the finalminutes of the first half only to see the Jacksclose the first stanza with an 11-3 run to draw towithin 36-27 at the half.

The Kangaroo lead quickly evaporated com-pletely as SDSU scored the first nine points ofthe second half to draw even. The game wouldbe tied six more times, including 67-all at theend of regulation.

In overtime, Kansas City led 77-76 after abasket by Eilise O’Connor with 33 seconds remaining. With seven seconds left, Young wasfouled and calmly sank both free throws to givethe Jackrabbits a 78-77 lead. A contested shot atthe buzzer by the Kangaroos came up empty,sending SDSU to its fourth consecutive NCAATournament and keeping the Jackrabbits unde-feated in Summit League postseason play at 12-0.

The Jackrabbits’ postseason aspirations cameto an end at the hands of Purdue’s CourtneyMoses on March 17 in West Lafayette, Ind.Moses drained a tournament-record nine three-pointers en route to 29 points as the fourth-seeded Boilermakers knocked off SDSU, 83-68.
