The South Dakota women’s basketball team jumped out to a 53-11 first-half lead en route to defeating North Dakota State 80-36 Thursday night in Fargo.
The No. 25/21 South Dakota (16-2, 5-0 Summit) defense held North Dakota State (3-12, 0-4) to a stingy 36 points. It marked the lowest point total by a Coyote foe this season.
Senior guard Ciara Duffy led the way with 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting. She also grabbed eight boards, handed out three assists and stole the ball twice. It marked Duffy’s seventh 20-point game of the season.
