Recapping session one of the Summit League tournament
Marcus TraxlerAssistant Sports Editor Hanging a hundred … and then some To say that the Oral Roberts women got off to a good start would be selling their effort short. The Golden Eagles opened up their appearance in Sioux Falls by scoring 18 of the game’s first 19 points, on the way a 108-79 win [...]
SDSU avenges loss to NDSU
Marcus TraxlerAssistant Sports Editor If the idea of playing basketball well is a puzzle, the Jackrabbits might be putting it all together. SDSU (16-13, 12-6) never trailed against rival North Dakota State (13-15, 9-9) in tallying their fifth win in a row, this time by a 64-51 score at the Bison Sports Arena in Fargo, [...]
Oral Roberts sneaks out win over Jacks
From Staff Reports The women’s basketball teams at SDSU and Oral Roberts have been on different levels this season. The two sides might be closer than we thought. Jill Young put up 24 points to lead the Jacks and SDSU nailed a season-high 14 three-pointers but came up short in Tulsa, Okla., losing 82-75 to [...]
Sunnarborg and the Jacks power past the Kangaroos, 81-57
Marcus TraxlerAssistant Sports Editor Without a doubt, the SDSU women’s basketball team has been inconsistent this season. Jennie Sunnarborg hasn’t been lately. On Jan. 31, the Jackrabbits worked their way to an 81-57 victory over UMKC, powered by a career-high 28 points from Sunnarborg. The 6′ 2″ junior has been building to a game like [...]
Jacks Clobber Thunderbirds
Marcus TraxlerAssistant Sports Editor When it’s crunch time, teams go to players they can rely on. The SDSU women’s basketball team might finally have some suitors for that role. In a season where points have not always been plentiful, the Jackrabbits saw their leading players carry the way on Jan. 29 against Southern Utah, leading [...]
Oakland tops Jacks in overtime
Marcus TraxlerAssistant Sports Editor For the second night in a row, the Jackrabbit women dropped a close overtime affair. Add free throw shooting to the long list of letdowns for the SDSU women’s basketball team this season. The Jackrabbits – normally steadfast from the free throw line – shot 52 percent for the game and [...]
SDSU?s fifth home loss ends in overtime
Marcus TraxlerAssistant Sports Editor Over and over again. The inability to close out games has plagued the SDSU women’s basketball season all season and that weakness struck again on Jan. 22 as the Jackrabbits surrendered a late lead, allowing IPFW to escape Frost Arena with a 70-67 overtime victory. The loss marks the fifth time [...]
Jacks split matchups against IUPUI Jaguars
Marcus TraxlerAssistant Sports Editor Talk about stepping up when called upon. When it comes to Jackrabbit sharpshooters, Jennifer Schuttloffel doesn’t top the list. She’s hit seven threes in her career, but the senior picked a great time to break a 55-55 tie to put the Jacks in front for good, propelling SDSU to a 67-61 [...]
Doubleheaders may be dying
Marcus TraxlerAssistant Sports Editor “Let’s play two.” Maybe not anymore. The Summit League joint council approved a switch to mirror scheduling, which means that all men’s and women’s conference contests would be on Thursdays and Saturdays, starting in 2012-2013. The teams would play at opposite locations, meaning if the women are home, the men would [...]
Columnist chronicles the NDSU/SDSU doubleheader
Shane KoobInebriated Fan Excitement defined my week leading up to the match-ups with NDSU last Saturday. Most people I talked to around campus seemed to be just as excited, and I knew it would make for a great atmosphere at Frost Arena. There was a lot on the line for both teams, which added more [...]
