South Dakota ran away with a 67-41 win over North Dakota State to open Summit League women’s play on Sunday afternoon in Fargo.

Minnesota natives Hannah Sjerven and Madison McKeever tallied 15 and 13 points, respectively, to pace South Dakota in front of a strong showing of Coyote fans from their nearby hometowns.

South Dakota (13-2, 1-0 Summit) won its fifth-straight Summit League opener, kicking off conference play following the most successful nonconference season since the move to NCAA Division I.
