SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – No. 2 seed South Dakota State earned a fourth consecutive Summit League Tournament title, pulling away late from No. 1 seed North Dakota State to register a 64-51 victory in the Women’s Basketball Championship Sunday before a crowd of 7,930 at the Denny Sanford Premier Center. Senior Brookly Meyer earned Championship MVP honors after finishing with a game-high 24 points to go with nine rebounds and four blocks.
With the win, the Jackrabbits earned the league’s automatic bid and will play in the program’s 13th NCAA Division I Tournament. SDSU’s defense limited Summit League Player of the Year Avery Koenen to 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting from the floor but the Bison junior did lead all players with 13 rebounds and a career-high seven assists.
The Jackrabbits will find out their tournament opponent and destination on Sunday, March 15 when the NCAA Women’s Selection Show airs on ESPN at 7 p.m. CT.
