Box Score

For the second consecutive time against North Dakota, the one-two attack of Macy Miller and Madison Guebert carried the South Dakota State women's basketball team to a 66-52 nonleague win over North Dakota in the friendly confines of Frost Arena in front of 1,646 fans.

In last year's game, Miller and Guebert combined for 51 points to lead the Jackrabbits to an 83-72 road win over the Fighting Hawks. Wednesday night, the duo combined for 30 points as South Dakota State improved to 3-0.

Leah Klabo led North Dakota (0-2) with a game-high 22 points and 11 rebounds.

The Jackrabbits used a 5-0 run, fueled by a conventional three-point play by Miller with 6:41 to play in the first quarter, to take an early 8-4 lead and never trailed again.

SDSU took a 10-point lead, 41-31, on junior Sydney Palmer's 3-pointer with 3:12 left in the third quarter. UND closed to within six points, 45-39, in the fourth quarter on a layup by Klabo at 9:15. The Jacks sank five of six free throws done the stretch for its 11^th consecutive regular-season win in Frost Arena.
