Wayne TopsHCC ForShootoutGirls’ Title

USD Set To Begin Summit League PlayBY JEREMY HOECKjeremy.hoeck@yankton.net

In the short term, the Uni-versity of South Dakotawomen’s basketball teamisn’t necessarily worrying —yet — about defending itsSummit League tournamenttitle.

No, the Coyotes simplywant a better start to theconference season. The mem-ory of an 0-4 start, on the wayto an eventual appearance inthe NCAA Tournament, a sea-son ago is fresh in everyone’sminds.

“We’re going to continueto make that a goal, moreconsistency throughout thewhole season,” said headcoach Amy Williams, whosesquad opens conference playtonight (Friday) at Omaha.

“We had a better startwith our non-conferenceschedule, and that was an-other goal.”

That quick start out of thegate tells the early story inthe Summit League: Thewomen’s side has fared so faras expected, while the men’steam race appears to be wideopen. The USD men, by theway, open their conferenceseason tonight (Friday) athome against Omaha, theleague’s highest-scoringteam.

On the women’s side, theprojected contenders are al-ready rising to the top.

Defending tournamentchampion USD is atop thestandings at 10-3, followed bylong-time league powerhouseSouth Dakota State at 9-4.

The Jackrabbits, though,own the league’s best non-conference wins — over top-25 Arkansas and top-10 RPIMiddle Tennessee. In the lat-est mid-major poll, SDSUranks No. 9, with USD receiv-

ing votes, and both areranked in the top 70 in theRPI — the Jacks at 52 and theCoyotes at 67.

Now, the tides will shift, inthe sense that teams will stoprooting for their fellow mem-bers to win, Williams saidwith a slight chuckle.

“It’s so interesting whenyou go through half of theseason pulling for everyoneto do well, because it helpsall of us,” she said. “Now allof a sudden it shifts, andeveryone becomes theenemy.”

Ultimately, the Coyotesknow they’ll have to gothrough SDSU to repeat as

league champs, but the short-term focus is simply on start-ing league play stronger thanlast season, Williams saidagain.

Coming off its best confer-ence ranking among all Divi-sion I leagues, the SummitLeague appears to be consid-erably more wide open onthe men’s side this season.

Only three of the league’snine teams on the men’s sidehave a winning record, led bySouth Dakota State (9-5), andfollowed by North DakotaState (8-5) and preseason fa-vorite Fort Wayne (7-6).

The Jackrabbits are alsothe only league team receiv-

ing votes in the latest mid-major poll, and they’re get-ting one vote. South DakotaState is also the highest-ranked team in the RPI, at133, with everyone else over200.

First-year USD head coachCraig Smith, who previouslyspent two seasons at Ne-braska, is one of five first-year men’s coaches in theSummit League, the highesttotal of any Division I confer-ence — Fort Wayne, IUPUI,North Dakota State and West-ern Illinois also have newcoaches.

Smith has guided the Coy-otes to a 6-8 start to the sea-

son, including wins in the lastthree games. Senior TylerLarson leads the league withsix double-doubles and in re-bounding (8.1), while fellowsenior Brandon Bos is secondin scoring average (16.2).

A fact of life right now forthe Coyotes, though, is thattheir league schedule is front-loaded with road games. Fiveof their first six conferencegames are away from Vermil-lion.
