North Dakota State guard Taylor Thunstedt scored 19 points and guard Sarah Jacobson added a career high 18 points as the Bison took down South Dakota 83-73 inside the Scheels Center Wednesday night. 

North Dakota State (4-12, 2-1 Summit) ends a seven-game win streak held by South Dakota (13-3, 2-1 Summit). 

“North Dakota State deserves the credit for shooting well and just outplaying us tonight,” said USD head coach Dawn Plitzuweit. “They took it right to us from the start and we cannot expect to dig ourselves out of the hole every time.” 

South Dakota was led by sophomore guard Allison Arens’ 28 points, six rebounds and four assists. Also reaching double-figures for the Coyotes was sophomore guard Jaycee Bradley with 16 points and a career high eight boards. Senior forward Bridget Arens added 10 points.
