â Second-seeded South Dakota made it back-to-back Summit League Womenâs Basketball Championships for the first time in program history, knocking off Omaha 66-43 in the tournament title game Tuesday afternoon at the Sanford Pentagon.
The Mavericksâ historic run came to end after becoming the first eight seed to win a game in the tournament after toppling top-seeded South Dakota State in the opening round and eventually becoming the first to reach the championship game after a semifinal win over fifth-seeded Western Illinois two days later.
