SDSU needs two wins to clinch at least a share of the Summit League regular season title. Should the Jacks clinch, they will have secured five of the last six regular season titles.
South Dakota State's 14 consecutive wins is the sixth-longest active win streak in the country.
Tori Nelson is 12 points from entering the top-20 on SDSU's all-time career scoring chart.
Brooklyn Meyer is the reigning Summit League Peak Performer of the Week for the third time this season after averaging 23.5 points, 7.5 points and 2.5 blocks at a .708 clip in a pair of wins last week.
Brooklyn Meyer is one of seven players in the country averaging at least 16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. Of that group of seven, she is one of four shooting at least 55 percent.

In conference games, Brooklyn Meyer (17.6 PPG), Madison Mathiowetz (12.3 PPG) and Paige Meyer (12.1 PPG) lead SDSU's offense.
Brooklyn Meyer (7.1 RPG) and Mesa Byom (6.8 RPG) rank fourth and fifth, respectively, on the conference rebounding chart.
The SDSU defense has held Summit League opponents to only 58.1 points per game, nearly 10 points fewer than the next team (North Dakota State, 67.8 PPG).
Tori Nelson has made 99 consecutive starts for South Dakota State and 138 total starts, which ranks third all-time. She is also third all-time in blocks (137) and fourth in career games played (149).
