VERMILLION, S.D. A 30-9 opening quarter was plenty of cushion for South Dakota as they cruised past Midland 89-39 Wednesday night inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center in the Coyotes’ final tune-up ahead of Summit League play this weekend.
Nearly all five USD starters scored in double figures and only point guard Maddie Krull logged more than 19 minutes. Hannah Sjerven posted game highs of 14 points, eight rebounds, four blocks and three steals in 19 minutes of work. Liv Korngable had 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Kyah Watson had her first double-figure game with 11 points, Krull added 10 and Chloe Lamb had nine. It marked the first time since the season-opener that the Coyotes put four in double-digits.

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.”
