The Game

South Dakota travels to Kansas City for a Summit League game at 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon inside the Swinney Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
 
A free live stream of the game will be available on KCroos.com. Fans can tune into the game on the Coyote Sports Network with Carter Woodiel on the call, with the radio broadcast carried on KVHT 106.3 FM in Yankton/Vermillion or by using The Varsity Network app.
 

The Coyotes

A win on Wednesday would send South Dakota (8-4, 1-0) into the Christmas holiday on a seven-game winning streak. The Coyotes are wrapping up a three-game stretch of road games. South Dakota started off league play with a 90-59 victory over Oral Roberts, a season-best offensive performance with five Coyotes scoring in double-figures. USD also shot a season-high 58.7 percent (37-of-63) from the field. Chloe Lamb led the way Monday with 18 points, Grace Larkins tallied a career-high 15, Liv Korngable added 13, Kyah Watson tied her career-best 11 and Maddie Krull finished with 10. Lamb and Hannah Sjerven are fifth and sixth in the league for scoring, averaging 16 and 14.4 points per game, respectively.
 

The Roos

Kansas City (10-2, 0-1) had its program record 10-game winning streak snapped by South Dakota State on Monday night. The Roos kept the game within single digits and closed SDSU's lead down to two, 70-68, in the fourth quarter before falling 85-78. Kansas City owns the league's largest scoring margin this season, outscoring foes by 16.8 points per game, with the league's second-best scoring offense and defense. Naomie Alnatas and Brooklyn McDavid are the league's leading and third-leading scorers with 18.7 and 16.9 points per game, respectively. Alnatas was picked to the Summit preseason first team, while McDavid is a graduate transfer from Pacific.
 

The Series

South Dakota tied up the all-time series at 4-4 with two wins inside the Swinney Center last season. This will be the seventh meeting between the programs as Summit League foes, with USD leading the series 4-2 as conference opponents.
 

One Last Thing

Chloe Lamb will set a South Dakota program record for career games played on Wednesday afternoon with 140, surpassing the 139 games played by Kate Liveringhouse (2014-18).
