The South Dakota State women’s basketball team’s historic run in the NCAA Tournament came to an end Friday night as the Jackrabbits suffered a 63-53 loss to No. 2 seed Oregon in the Portland Region.

The Jackrabbits, who were the first Summit League team to reach the Sweet Sixteen, saw their 18-game win streak snapped.

South Dakota State, which ends the season 28-7, was led by Macy Miller’s 21 points and eight rebounds. Miller closed her career with 2,355 points. Myah Selland added 13 points, five rebounds and four assists.

Oregon (32-4) went on to upset #1 seed Mississippi State Sunday to earn a spot in the final four for the first time.
