VERMILLION, S.D. (KELO.com) South Dakota women’s basketball has added a nonconference home game against Midland for 6 p.m. Dec. 30 inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center.
This marks South Dakota’s first-ever meeting with Midland. It serves as the first game back following an extended holiday break for both squads and serves as a final tune-up before digging in to conference play.
“We are excited to be adding an additional non-conference game as we return from the holiday break versus Midland University,” said USD head coach Dawn Plitzuweit. “Our non-conference slate has been challenging and one key component we had been unable to secure before this game was an additional home contest. We are thankful that we get to the opportunity to play in the Sanford Coyote Sports Center one more time before we kick off conference play at home versus Denver on January 2nd.”
