BROOKINGS, S.D. (Interstat) — The South Dakota State women’s basketball team delivered an offensive masterclass, overwhelming Oral Roberts 103-76 in a Summit League contest Saturday at Frost Arena.

The Jackrabbits, improving to 13-4 overall and remaining unbeaten in conference play, seized control with a blistering first quarter and never looked back, shooting a torrid 19 of 38 from three-point range. The Golden Eagles fell to 9-8.

The game’s decisive stretch came immediately after the opening tip. South Dakota State erupted for 32 points in the first quarter, connecting on 6 of 10 three-point attempts to build a 20-point lead. The offensive barrage was a collective effort, with Katie Vasecka, Emilee Fox and Maggie Hartwig all hitting early threes. Oral Roberts, meanwhile, struggled to find its footing, scoring just 12 points on 5-of-16 shooting in the period.

Oral Roberts showed resilience in the second quarter, outscoring South Dakota State 22-11 behind 10 points from Bella Edwards to cut the deficit to nine points at halftime. The Golden Eagles’ defensive pressure forced several Jackrabbit turnovers, offering a glimmer of hope.

That hope was extinguished in a devastating third-quarter response from the home team. South Dakota State poured in 33 points, reigniting its three-point assault with five more makes from beyond the arc. A key sequence saw the Jackrabbits score on three consecutive possessions: a Hadley Thul three-pointer, a steal and layup from Thul, and a driving layup by Brooklyn Meyer. That flurry pushed the lead back to 20 points and effectively ended the competitive phase of the game.

The fourth quarter was a formality, with both teams trading baskets as South Dakota State cruised to the 27-point victory.

South Dakota State’s offensive efficiency was staggering. The Jackrabbits scored 103 points on just 82 possessions, an offensive rating of 126.4. They assisted on 19 of their 34 made field goals and scored 24 points off 15 Oral Roberts turnovers. Their 19 three-pointers were a season-high and a central component of the victory.

Oral Roberts was led by Bella Edwards, who came off the bench to score 13 points. Kayten Donley added 9 points and 5 assists. The Golden Eagles shot a respectable 21 of 24 from the free-throw line but were undone by 7-of-31 shooting from three-point range and an inability to contain South Dakota State’s multifaceted attack.

Brooklyn Meyer, a 6-foot-2 sophomore from Larchwood, Iowa, was the standout performer for South Dakota State. In just 26 minutes, she filled the stat sheet with 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, anchoring the Jackrabbits on both ends. She was complemented by a backcourt duo that shredded the Oral Roberts defense: Emilee Fox of Mount Vernon, South Dakota, tallied 17 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, while Katie Vasecka of Tea, South Dakota, matched Fox with 17 points and dished out 7 assists.

Maggie Hartwig provided a strong interior presence with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Ellie Colbeck contributed 13 efficient points off the bench.

The attendance at Frost Arena was 2,452. According to Interstat’s ELO system, South Dakota State entered the game with a 96.80 percent probability to win, a projection the Jackrabbits emphatically fulfilled.

Oral Roberts will look to regroup when it hosts Missouri-Kansas City next Thursday. South Dakota State continues its homestand, also on Thursday, against Denver.
