LAWRENCE, Kan. — South Dakota State ended its preseason slate of matches on a positive note Friday as the Jackrabbits defeated Kansas, 2-1, at Rock Chalk Park.

Reagan Anderson, assisted by
Katherine Jones, pushed the Jacks ahead 2-0.
The Jayhawks notched a goal midway through the second half to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Jackrabbits were strong defensively late and kept the home side off the board for roughly 20 minutes of action.
