Jacks defense wins close, windy spring game
For the fifth year in a row, SDSU’s defensive unit showed off its winning ways in the annual spring game, causing three interceptions and five sacks to beat the offense, 42-32, on a windy Saturday afternoon.

Well-rounded Jacks take down Minnesota
After defeating NAIA Mount Marty by a score of 3-1 on April 10, SDSU head baseball coach Dave Schrage said that three runs would not be enough to defeat Minnesota, who would be the Jackrabbits’ opponent the next day.

Something to prove: Pitcher returns to the mound after two-year injury
In their simplest form, sports are fairly cut-and-dried. You win or you lose. Layne Somsen sees it that way.

He could blame his elbow for giving way and then failing to cooperate when [...]
SDSU has a believer in Bono
I’ve never wrestled in my life, never really had the desire to do so and admittedly, I’m probably not tough enough to hang out with those guys. That might have to change with Chris Bono on campus. If you were one of the few to go to a wrestling match in the last couple of [...]

Jackrabbits dance to NCAA’s with defense
SDSU head coach Scott Nagy said it felt like a dream. But the 6,526 fans in the Sioux Falls Arena and many more around the nation can attest that it’s not: The Jackrabbits are going to the NCAA Tournament. Senior Griffan Callahan drilled a 3-pointer from the wing with slightly more than a minute [...]

The annual Summit League men’s basketball tournament is never void of story lines. But with all due respect to the previous seasons, 2012’s tourney is in shape to top them all.

Jackrabbits fight past Leathernecks at Frost
Western Illinois rarely finds a defensive struggle that they don’t like and SDSU played along until the threes were too much for the Leathernecks. In what can best be described as a rock fight, the Jackrabbits showed their outside shooting prowess in a 74-57 win over the Leathernecks Feb. 23 in Brookings, extending SDSU’s [...]
