LAIE, Hawaii - South Dakota State women's basketball knocked off its second top-25 opponent of the season Tuesday with a 75-70 victory over No. 21 Oregon in the final game of the North Shore Showcase.

SDSU improves to 4-2 on the season while Oregon falls to 6-2. Both of the Ducks' losses so far this year came at the North Shore Showcase.

The Jackrabbits had four players in double figures, led by 21 from Brooklyn Meyer. Paige Meyer added 14, followed by 13 from Haleigh Timmer and 11 from Madysen Vlastuin.

The third quarter again went back-and-forth, with neither team scoring more than two consecutive buckets. SDSU led 56-51 with one quarter to play.
