South Dakota women’s basketball enters the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time this season at No. 25.

It marks the third time in program history the Coyotes have made the AP Top 25, following a two-week stint last February.

The Coyotes become the fifth team in Summit League history to earn a spot in the AP Top 25, following Northern Illinois (1992-93, 1993-94), South Dakota State (2008-09) and last year’s South Dakota team (2018-19).

No. 25 South Dakota has already been ranked for two weeks in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

The Coyotes (11-1) have been receiving votes in both polls since the start of the season. The first team out of the poll a week ago, USD moved past a Miami (5-3) this week.
