It was a thriller to remember as the South Dakota women triumphed over South Dakota State 105-98 in double-overtime Sunday afternoon inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center in front of a capacity crowd of 6,004.

Three Coyotes surpassed 20 points in the game, marking a first in South Dakota program history for the feat to be accomplished. Junior guard Ciara Duffy scored a career high 28 points, sophomore center Hannah Sjerven tallied a career high 23 points and senior guard Allison Arens pitched in 20 points.

South Dakota State senior guard Macy Miller scored a game-high 31 points and scored her 2,000th career point during the contest. Forwards Myah Selland and Tagyn Larson finished with 19 points apiece.

South Dakota (14-3, 2-1 Summit) won its fifth-straight rivalry game in Vermillion over South Dakota State (10-6, 2-1 Summit).
