The South Dakota State University women's basketball team survived a cold shooting night, closing exhibition play with a 63-47 victory over Bemidji State (Minn.) Thursday at Frost Arena.

Neither team shot well in the first half; the Jackrabbits began the game 4-for-21 from the field before ending the half 9-of-32, 28.1 percent. BSU made only 5-of-23 first-half attempts, 21.7 percent. SDSU led 26-16 at intermission.

The Beavers trimmed the deficit to nine points early in the second half before SDSU gradually extended its lead. The Jackrabbits' biggest lead of the night was 24 points, 62-38, in the closing minutes.

Jill Young led SDSU with 11 points, followed by Kristin Rotert with 10. Katie Lingle was a basket shy of a double-double with eight points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Fellow Pierre native Steph Paluch also tallied eight points as all 11 Jackrabbit players to see action scored.

SDSU finished the night 24-of-62 from the field, 38.7 percent, including a 4-for-20 effort from beyond the arc. The Jackrabbits' shooting struggles extended to the free throw line, where they made only 11-of-20 attempts, 55 percent.

Bemidji State received 10 points each from Anna Hebrink and Ellie Wessling. The Beavers shot 31.3 percent overall from the field, 15-of-48, and were 2-of-14 on three-pointers. At the line, BSU was 15-for-20, 75 percent.

The Jackrabbits held a 44-34 rebounding advantage.

Regular season play begins Nov. 12, when SDSU hosts Utah Valley in the opening round of the Preseason WNIT. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. at Frost Arena.
