WBB at Omaha

South Dakota plays its final road game of the regular season at Omaha on Wednesday at 7 p.m. inside Baxter Arena in Omaha, Nebraska.

The Game
An undefeated Summit League slate, a 15-game winning streak and a regular season title are on the line for the Coyotes this week. The Mavericks are battling for tournament positioning with all the way up to the fourth seed up for grabs.

The Coyotes
South Dakota (21-5, 11-0 Summit League) has a chance to tie the program's longest winning streak since the move to Division I (16) with a victory. The Coyotes boast a well-rounded offense with eight players attempting more than 100 field goals on the season. Nine different Coyotes have led the team in scoring for a game this year. All 13 players scored on Saturday with junior guard Jaycee Bradley's 17 points in 17 minutes leading the way.

The Mavericks
Omaha (11-12, 2-8 Summit League) has won three of their last five since playing South Dakota the first time around. Junior guards Amber Vidal and Jess Walter lead Omaha with 12.8 and 10.8 points per game this season. In addition, junior center Courtney Vaccher tops the Summit League this season for field-goal percentage at 62.5 percent.

The Series
South Dakota leads the all-time series 43-35 and lead 10-2 since Omaha joined the Summit League in 2012. Earlier this season, the Coyotes topped the Mavericks 70-46 with four players in double digits. Junior guard Allison Arens led the team in that game with 18 points and eight boards.

One Last Thing
