SCOUTING THE JACKRABBITS
The South Dakota State Jackrabbits currently sit on top of the Summit League standings with an overall record of 13-7, including an 8-1 mark in conference play. They enter Saturday's game with momentum, winning their last four games. Their lone conference loss was recorded on the road at the Mabee Center (Jan 7) as Oral Roberts earned a 71-65 victory.
South Dakota State has a trio of players that provide double digit scoring every time they take the court. Jennie Sunnarborg is a dual threat that leads the team in scoring and rebounds. Sunnarborg averages 14.4 ppg while grabbing 5.7 boards per contest. Jill Young and Ashley Eide each average 11 ppg. All three players have started in all 20 games for the Jackrabbits.
SDSU holds their opponents to just 57.9 points per game while scoring 64 on average. They most recently defeated North Dakota State on Jan. 20 by the final score of 88-52. Ashley Eide led the way with a 20 point performance. She also grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.
SERIES VS. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
The Jackrabbits have dominated the all-time series leading by a 14-1 margin. The 'Dons lone win over SDSU came last year in the first meeting of the season. IPFW took South Dakota State into overtime and earned the 70-67 win in Brookings, S.D. The Jackrabbits edged IPFW in the second meeting (50-47) and they also came out on top in the final matchup of the year with another three-point win 70-67.
LAST TIME OUT
IPFW faced a tough Oral Roberts team on the road on Monday night and fell by the final score of 102-62. The 'Dons hit 13 3-point field goals which is their highest total of the year. Senior Anne Boese and sophomore Erin Murphy each hit three triples to lead IPFW.
Stefanie Mauk joined Boese and Murphy in double digit scoring for the Mastodons. Mauk found her groove in the second half posting 10 points after going scoreless in the first.
Amanda Hyde and Rachel Mauk distributed the ball well on Monday night as each player ended the game with four assists. Hyde also brought defensive pressure against the Golden Eagles by recording three steals during her 30 minutes of action.
CLIMBING THE CONFERENCE LADDER
IPFW senior Anne Boese is in a race with South Dakota State senior Jill Young to see who is the best three point shooter in Summit League history. Both Boese and Young have passed the old record of 262, set by Brenna Doty from 1994-97. Boese is currently in first with 277, while Young is close behind at 270. The record will likely change hands numerous times over the second half of the season, and after the dust settles, one of the two will hold the all-time mark.
