No. 24 South Dakota used a 19-2 run starting at the end of the third quarter to run away with a 79-56 women’s basketball victory over Oral Roberts on Sunday afternoon inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center.

South Dakota (19-2, 8-0) remains undefeated at the midway mark of league play and have won each Summit game by at least 20 points.

For the second-straight year, Oral Roberts (8-12, 3-4) ended USD’s streak of holding opponents under 50 points. The Coyotes came into Sunday having kept four-straight foes below 50.

Four Coyotes reached double-figures in the contest led by junior guard Monica Arens and senior guard Ciara Duffy with 18 points apiece.
