South Dakota State women's basketball head coach Aaron Johnston announced Tuesday that Rylie Cascio (pronounced CASH-ee-O) Jensen will join the Jackrabbits program.
Cascio Jensen, who played her freshman year at Nebraska this past season, will play immediately for SDSU and have three years of eligibility with the Jackrabbits.
"We are thrilled to welcome Rylie and her family to our women's basketball program and South Dakota State University," Johnston said. "She's had an accomplished career to this point and we believe she has a very bright future wearing yellow and blue. Jackrabbit fans will enjoy watching her playmaking ability and competitive spirit on the court this fall."
A 5-foot-10 guard, Cascio Jensen appeared in all 29 games for the Huskers as a freshman, averaging 2.3 points, 0.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Her best outing of the year came against Penn State when she registered 15 points on 3-of-4 shooting, including a pair of 3-pointers, and sank all seven shots at the free-throw line. Cascio Jensen made 11 consecutive free throws to close the season and led the Huskers with a .824 free-throw percentage.
The Fremont, Neb., alum was the Nebraska Gatorade High School Player of the Year as a senior in 2015-16 after averaging 22.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.6 steals per game for Fremont High School. She led the Tigers to the state tournament, helping the team finish 20-4.
As a junior, she was named second-team All-Nebraska and earned second-team Class A honors in 2014-15. She helped lead the Tigers to a 16-7 record while finishing just one game short of a second-straight Class A state tournament berth. Cascio Jensen closed the season averaging 19.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.
Cascio Jensen transferred from Bellevue East High School to Fremont prior to her sophomore season. She led an instant turnaround in the Tiger program, as Fremont earned a state tournament berth and finished with a 22-4 record in 2013-14 and earned honorable-mention Class A all-state accolades.
Cascio Jensen joins incoming freshmen Tylee Irwin, Myah Selland and Lindsey Theuninck.
