SIOUX FALLS, S.D.—South Dakota sits atop the standings for the Summit League's Dr. Helen Smiley Women's All-Sports Award through the conclusion of the league's fall sports' seasons.
 
The Summit League presents a Commissioner's Cup, Dr. Helen Smiley Women's All-Sports Award and Dr. William Steinbrecher Men's All-Sports Award annually at the Presidents Council and Joint Council meetings each summer. Awards are presented to the institution that collects the most combined points in relationship to placement in league-sponsored sports.
 
The Coyotes have taken home six of the last seven Dr. Helen Smiley Women's All-Sports Awards.
 
South Dakota captured two Summit League Championships during the fall season. The Coyote women's cross country team hoisted the Summit trophy in Brookings in October. A few weeks later, the women's volleyball team wrapped up a share of the Summit regular season title.
