KEY STORYLINES

The Jackrabbits return all five starters from last season's Summit League Championship squad, including the Summit's Player of the Year Myah Selland and fellow first-team selections Paiton Burckhard and Tylee Irwin.
SDSU's 2021 League title was its 16th overall and seventh in the regular season.
The Jackrabbits have won 13 consecutive contests at Frost Arena, the No. 11 active win streak in NCAA Division I.
The Jacks ranked No. 16 nationally in win percentage last season, winning 84% of their games with a 21-4 overall record.
State was picked to finish second in the 2021-22 Summit League Preseason Poll, splitting the first-place votes with South Dakota (20-18).
Burckhard, Irwin and Selland were named to the Preseason All-Summit League team.

SDSU has two 1,000-point scorers on its roster in Selland and Irwin, who both reached the career milestone last season. Burckhard is likely to join the club early in the year as she has 983 career points.
Selland paced the Summit League a season ago with 19.2 points per game and ranked second in field goal percentage, shooting .515 from the floor.
