VERMILLION, S.D.–Six South Dakota players scored in double figures as the Coyotes took down Omaha 91-56 on senior day inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center Saturday afternoon.
 
It was the most balanced scoring attack for South Dakota (22-5, 11-3 Summit League) in Summit action this season. The Coyotes wrap up the regular season with a 12-1 record inside their new home.
 
A trio of seniors in forward Kelsey Biltoft, center Abigail Fogg and forward Bridget Arens were honored ahead of the tip.
 
"Our team played inspired basketball and that was so special to see on senior day," said USD head coach Dawn Plitzuweit. "These two seniors have an incredible work ethic and have had great senior seasons. From the beginning of our time with her, we usually had to tell Abigail to slow down. She would work so hard in practice between ball handling, shooting and defensive drills. She continues to get better and we are excited about the senior year that she's having.
 
"There is not a player in the country that epitomizes what you want your program to be better than Bridget. She's tough, she works her tail off, she's the team nurturer and she cares a great deal. These two have had a great year and we're excited for that to continue."
 
South Dakota continued its hot shooting streak this afternoon. The team shot 61.1 percent (33-of-54) from the floor. It was just the second time this season above 60 percent, but also the second in three games.

South Dakota jumped out to its lead early, with a 12-point advantage in the first nine minutes. The Coyotes made six of their 11 threes in the first quarter and outscored the Mavericks by at least five points in each period.
