The historical season continued as the University of South Dakota women rallied from an 11-point deficit to top South Dakota State 80-75 in front of 4,018 fans inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center on Wednesday.
South Dakota (24-5, 14-0 Summit) is the first undefeated Summit League regular season champion since 1994. The Coyotes also earn their third regular season title in the last four years.
The win also extends South Dakota’s winning streak to 18 games, which ties the Summit League record for consecutive victories.
South Dakota State (22-6, 11-2 Summit) had topped league opponents by an average of 35 points in the six games since losing a 67-61 decision to USD in Brookings back on Jan. 25. The Coyotes are the only team to defeat the Jackrabbits in league play this season.
Senior guard Jasmine Trimboli, the reigning Summit League Player of the Week, led the Coyotes in scoring for the second-straight game with 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Trimboli grabbed six rebounds, swiped five steals and dished out a pair of assists.
Macy Miller’s game-high 23 points led the Jackrabbits.
