South Dakota hit its first six shots and jumped out to a 20-3 lead to set the tone in a 99-60 rout of Presentation Wednesday at Sanford Coyote Sports Center.

It is the third straight win for the Coyotes (3-0) who are off to their best start of the Division I era. 

All 11 South Dakota players in uniform played between 15-22 minutes and all got in the scoring column. Dan Jech, Trey Dickerson and Brandon Armstrong led the way with 12 points, Matt Mooney had 11, and Joshua Doss and Austin Sparks chipped in 10 each. 

Presentation, an NAIA Division II program out of Aberdeen, S.D., got a game-high 17 points from Aaron Samuels who made 6 of 12 from the field. Elijah Valdez came off the bench to score 13. Donnell Minton, who entered the game averaging 24 points per game, had seven points on 2 of 11 from the field and pulled down a team-high seven boards.
