2007-08 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL 1


Season Preview<br />

After reaching unprecedented heights a<br />

season ago, the 2007-08 edition of the <strong>South</strong><br />

<strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> women’s basketball<br />

team will be more focused on maintaining its<br />

balance.<br />

“I knew we would have the opportunity to<br />

be a successful team at the Division I level,<br />

but we did it at a very, very early stage in our<br />

transition,” said head coach Aaron Johnston,<br />

who led the Jackrabbits to a 25-6 overall<br />

record during the 2006-07 season and a<br />

berth in the Women’s NIT quarterfinals.“Now<br />

our challenge is to be that type of team consistently.”<br />

However, the Jackrabbits face the challenge<br />

of replacing leading scorer Megan Vogel and<br />

playing a challenging schedule that includes<br />

13 games against 11 teams that qualified for<br />

postseason play last season.<br />

“The challenge to sustain success is a lot<br />

harder to attain than the challenge to attain<br />

initial success,” Johnston said.<br />

SDSU does return a solid nucleus that<br />

includes four starters, led by seniors Andrea<br />

Verdegan and Courtney Grimsrud.<br />

“Andrea and Courtney have gone through a<br />

lot in this transition to become leaders and<br />

hopefully take us to a whole new level,”<br />

Johnston said.<br />

A starter each of the two previous seasons,<br />

Verdegan moved from the two-guard to the<br />

point guard position last season and responded<br />

by leading the team in both assists (105)<br />

and steals (50).<br />

Grimsrud, a 6-2 center, started all 31<br />

games last season and was honored as the<br />

Division I Independent Defensive Player of the<br />

Year. She averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds<br />

and 1.5 blocked shots per game.<br />

Johnston expects both seniors to step up<br />

offensively this season to pick up some of the<br />

slack left by the graduation of Vogel, a fouryear<br />

starter who averaged 17.5 points per<br />

game a season ago and was a second-round<br />

draft choice of the WNBA’s Washington<br />

Mystics.<br />

The other returning starters are juniors<br />

Jennifer Warkenthien and Ashlea Muckenhirn.<br />

A second-team all-Independent selection a<br />

year ago, Warkenthien is poised for a breakout<br />

season, according to Johnston. A 6-foot forward<br />

who can play on the block or step out to<br />

hit a shot from the perimeter, Warkenthien led<br />

the team in rebounding last season at six per<br />

game and finished second on the squad with<br />

an average of 9.7 points per game.<br />

Muckenhirn can play either guard position<br />

and will be counted on for her perimeter<br />

shooting. She finished third on the team with<br />

35 three-pointers en route to averaging 6.5<br />

points and 3.5 rebounds per game.<br />

Rounding out the junior class are wing<br />

players Stacie Oistad and Morgan Meier.<br />

Oistad was one of the more consistent offensive<br />

players early in the season before missing<br />

the second half of the year due to injury. She<br />

came off the bench to average 5.4 points per<br />

game, while shooting 50 percent from the<br />

field.<br />

Meier is a solid defender who averaged<br />

eight minutes of playing time per game a<br />

season ago.<br />

The sophomore class gained valuable playing<br />

time during the 2006-07 season, including<br />

experience in the postseason.<br />

Forward Maria Boever was a consistent<br />

performer off the bench for the Jackrabbits as<br />

a freshman and showed signs of being able to<br />

put up big numbers.The Worthington, Minn.,<br />

native averaged 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds<br />

per game and should see that production<br />

increase with more playing time this season,<br />

Johnston said.<br />

Ketty Cornemann provides tremendous athleticism<br />

at the wing position and will attempt<br />

to improve on her averages of 4.6 points and<br />

2.4 rebounds per game.<br />

Point guard Alison Anderson saw her playing<br />

time increase as the 2006-07 season progressed,<br />

giving the Jackrabbits additional<br />

quickness and top-rate passing ability as she<br />

tallied 43 assists.<br />

Laura Nielsen provided solid defense in the<br />

post and began to emerge as an offensive<br />

threat late in the 2006-07 season. She finished<br />

the year with averages of 2.6 points<br />

and 1.9 rebounds per game.<br />

Incoming freshmen Macie Michelson, Kristin<br />

Rotert and Jennifer Schuttloffel all are expected<br />

to contribute this season. Michelson and<br />

Rotert will provide perimeter shoting, with<br />

Schuttloffel giving the Jackrabbits rebounding<br />

and scoring ability at the forward position.<br />

“I think one of the great assets of this<br />

year’s team is our balance,” Johnston said.<br />

2006-07 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL


“Over a 10-game stretch we could have 10<br />

different players lead us.”<br />

Another freshman, Jill Young, who was the<br />

most prolific scorer and three-point shooter in<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> high school girls’ basketball history,<br />

will redshirt this season after transferring<br />

from Creighton (Neb.) at the start of the<br />

JACKRABBIT SENIORS Andrea Verdegan<br />

and Courtney Grimsrud will attempt to lead<br />

SDSU to back-to-back postseason appearances.<br />

school year.<br />

While the Jackrabbits used the same starting<br />

lineup in 30 of the team’s 31 games last<br />

season, Johnston expects the competition in<br />

practice, as well as the ability to use different<br />

lineups to exploit certain matchups, will give<br />

his team a different look than in past years.<br />

“I really do see some fluctuation in our<br />

lineup and fluctuation in our rotation,” said<br />

Johnston, who enters his eighth full season as<br />

head coach with a 170-55 career record.“I<br />

don’t think I’ve ever been a part of a team<br />

that has this much quality depth.”<br />

That depth and balance will be needed,<br />

especially early in the season, when the<br />

Jackrabbits’ first nine scheduled games are<br />

against teams that played in either the NCAA<br />

or Women’s NIT postseason tournaments.<br />

“I think this year’s schedule certainly is<br />

challenging, but we’re going to continue to<br />

schedule teams at our level or ahead of us,”<br />

Johnston said.“Night in and night out we’re<br />

going to have to be ready to play.”<br />

The Jackrabbits open the season with a<br />

weekend homestand Nov. 9 versus Arkansas<br />

<strong>State</strong> and Nov. 11 against UC Riverside as<br />

part of a schedule with an equal mix of<br />

games home and away. Road games include<br />

matchups at Oregon, George Washington and<br />

Team Preview<br />

Utah, before opening the inaugural season of<br />

Summit League play at defending postseason<br />

tournament champion Oral Roberts (Okla.)<br />

“Since the transition, other than the WNIT,<br />

joining The Summit League is the biggest<br />

thing to happen to our program,” Johnston<br />

said.“It absolutely changes how we think<br />

about scheduling, traveling and recruiting. It<br />

gives us more of a benchmark of where we<br />

want to be.”<br />

To aid in becoming an elite team in The<br />

Summit League, SDSU hired a second fulltime<br />

assistant coach in Travis Brewster.<br />

“I think it was a big step forward for our<br />

program; not only to get the position, but to<br />

attract someone of Travis’ experience and<br />

knowledge, both of the game and of our<br />

recruiting area.” Brewster, who will primarily<br />

coach the post players, previously served as<br />

an assistant coach at former North Central<br />

Conference rival North <strong>Dakota</strong>, and most<br />

recently at Wisconsin-Milwaukee.<br />

Also assisting Johnston is Laurie Melum,<br />

who has been the top assistant coach<br />

throughout Johnston’s tenure as head coach.<br />

Vogel continues her association with the<br />

Jackrabbit women’s basketball program as a<br />

graduate assistant.<br />

Frost Arena<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> plays its<br />

home games in Frost Arena, named after former<br />

Jackrabbit coach and athletic director<br />

R.B.“Jack” Frost.<br />

Frost served as athletic director and professor<br />

and head of the physical education<br />

department from 1947 until 1960. He compiled<br />

an 86-79 mark in seven seasons as<br />

Jackrabbit men’s basketball coach from 1948-<br />

54. Frost also was an international leader in<br />

recreation, health and physical education,<br />

serving in 1965 as the United <strong>State</strong>s representative<br />

at the Fifth Session of the<br />

International Olympic Academy in Greece.<br />

Frost Arena, which is part of the Stanley J.<br />

Marshall HPER Center, now seats approximately<br />

6,500 fans for basketball.The addition<br />

of chair-back lower-level seating prior to the<br />

1992-93 season, as well as the addition of<br />

chair-back seating in the lower level end<br />

zones and new student bleachers in the summer<br />

of 2004, have reduced seating from the<br />

original all-bleacher capacity of 9,500.<br />

In the fall of 2005, Frost Arena was included<br />

with Coughlin-Alumni Stadium in a $3<br />

million Daktronics scoreboard project.The<br />

Frost Arena portion includes a four-sided<br />

scoreboard with four ProStar ® video screens<br />

measuring 12 feet by seven feet, two ProAd ®<br />

displays measuring 60 feet long by four feet<br />

high and a new full-color digital ProTable ®<br />

scorers table, all of which can display realtime<br />

statistics.<br />

The first game at Frost Arena was played<br />

on Feb. 2, 1973. In 1994, the one-millionth<br />

basketball fan passed through the Frost Arena<br />

turnstiles.<br />

Widely regarded as the finest arena with the<br />

FROST ARENA has undergone a number of improvements in the past couple years,<br />

including the addition of a new scoreboard and video display system. The 34-year-old<br />

arena remains one of the best places to watch basketball in the Upper Midwest.<br />

best athletics atmosphere in the state, Frost<br />

Arena also is home to the Jackrabbit men’s<br />

basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams. It<br />

was the site of the 2003 NCAA Division II<br />

North Central Regional women’s basketball<br />

tournament. Postseason basketball returned to<br />

Frost Arena in 2007 as two rounds of the<br />

Women’s NIT were played in front of capacity<br />

crowds.<br />

Frost Arena also has been the site of six<br />

North Central Regional men’s basketball tournaments,<br />

four NCAA Division II Wrestling<br />

National Championships, as well as the <strong>South</strong><br />

<strong>Dakota</strong> Class AA Girls’ Basketball <strong>State</strong><br />

Tournament for the first time in the spring of<br />

2006.<br />

In addition, Frost Arena is the site of SDSU<br />

graduation ceremonies, the annual Wacipi<br />

pow-wow, concerts and numerous other campus<br />

events.<br />

Bids totaling $3,374,115 were let for the<br />

facility following legislative approval of the<br />

project, with the bill signed by Gov. Frank<br />

Farrar on Feb. 14, 1970. Ground was broken<br />

Sept. 22, 1970, with the cornerstone placed<br />

by Gov. Richard Kneip on Oct. 2, 1971. Final<br />

cost of the building was $3,685,000, with<br />

the difference made up by gifts and donated<br />

items.<br />

The Frost Arena attendance record was set<br />

on Feb. 11, 1989, when 9,456 fans attended<br />

the SDSU-Augustana men’s basketball game.<br />

Academic Success<br />

THE JACKRABBIT WOMEN’S basketball team was featured in the 2007 NCAA Women’s<br />

Final Four tournament program for leading all divisions of college women’s basketball in<br />

team grade-point average during the 2005-06 season. SDSU repeated as GPA national<br />

champions during the 2006-07 season with a 3.693 team GPA.<br />

For the second year in a row, <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> posted the highest team<br />

grade-point average in all levels of women’s<br />

college basketball, officials from the Women’s<br />

Basketball Coaches Association announced in<br />

July.<br />

“This is another great accomplishment for<br />

our team,” Jackrabbit head coach Aaron<br />

Johnston said.“Our players have always taken<br />

the award seriously, and it is great to see they<br />

have been honored two years in a row.”<br />

In making the Academic Top 25 Honor Roll<br />

for the fourth consecutive year and fifth time<br />

overall, the Jackrabbits led the nation during<br />

the 2006-07 academic year with a 3.693<br />

team GPA.That mark was a slight dropoff<br />

from their 3.73 team GPA during the 2005-<br />

06 season.<br />

In three seasons competing at the Division<br />

I level, SDSU has placed no worse than second<br />

among its D-I counterparts in team GPA.<br />

The Jackrabbits placed second in 2004-05<br />

with a 3.567 team GPA, after closing out<br />

their tenure as an NCAA Division II institution<br />

during the 2003-04 season with a 3.407<br />

team GPA to rank 13th within the division.<br />

Attendance<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> boasts one of<br />

the most loyal basketball fan bases in the<br />

Upper Midwest.<br />

Unofficially, SDSU ranked 43rd among<br />

Division I schools in home attendance during<br />

the 2006-07 season with a school-record average<br />

home crowd of 2,753 fans.That figure was<br />

an increase of 848 fans per game from the<br />

previous season, in large part due to the<br />

Jackrabbit women’s basketball team’s postseason<br />

run.<br />

Home attendance surged during the 2006-<br />

07 season despite having no scheduled doubleheaders<br />

with the men’s team as compared<br />

to previous years at the NCAA Division II level<br />

when all conference matchups and select nonconference<br />

matchups featured men’s and<br />

women’s doubleheaders.<br />

Doubleheaders will return on a limited basis<br />

during the 2007-08 season as the Jackrabbits<br />

will host four Saturday doubleheaders during<br />

Summit League play.Women’s games will<br />

begin at 5 p.m., followed by men’s contests at<br />

7:30 p.m.<br />

SDSU completed its run at the Division II<br />

level during the 2003-04 season by leading<br />

the division with an average home attendance<br />

of 2,484 fans.That capped a string of nine<br />

straight seasons ranked in the top five for<br />

home attendance in Division II.<br />

Following is a year-by-year breakdown of<br />

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE FANS have helped provide the Jackrabbits with a home-court<br />

advantage over the years. An SDSU women’s basketball single-game record crowd of<br />

6,053 watched the Jackrabbits defeat Indiana, 60-53, in Women’s NIT action on March<br />

22, 2007. SDSU has compiled a 78-6 home record the last six seasons<br />

Jackrabbits Across The Nation<br />

Throughout its transition to NCAA Division I<br />

status, the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

women’s basketball team has traveled across<br />

the country and taken on top-level regional<br />

and national competition.<br />

In their first three seasons at the D-I level,<br />

the Jackrabbits played games in 23 different<br />

states plus the U.S.Virgin Islands and The<br />

Bahamas.<br />

for our team as we’ve traveled to<br />

numerous places as a Division I member,”<br />

Jackrabbit head coach Aaron Johnston said.<br />

This season, the Jackrabbits are scheduled<br />

Entering his eighth season as head coach of the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> women’s basketball<br />

team, Aaron Johnston has taken the Jackrabbit program to the top of NCAA Division II and is leading<br />

SDSU through a successful transition into the ranks of Division I.<br />

Johnston enters the 2007-08 season with a career record of 170-55 (.756 winning percentage).<br />

Currently second on the SDSU career victories list, Johnston’s career totals have included a 15-3 mark<br />

(.867 winning percentage) in postseason games.<br />

Over his first four full seasons, Johnston led SDSU to three consecutive NCAA Division II Elite Eight<br />

appearances, including the first national championship in the program’s history during the 2002-03<br />

season.<br />

During their championship run, which culminated with a 65-50 victory over Northern Kentucky in<br />

the NCAA Division II championship game in St. Joseph, Mo., the Jackrabbits compiled a school-record<br />

32 wins against just three losses. SDSU also earned a share of its first-ever North Central Conference<br />

title with a 14-2 record in league play. After leading SDSU to unprecedented success, Johnston was<br />

named the 2003 Molten/Women’s Division II Bulletin Coach of the Year.<br />

The Jackrabbits attained much of the same success in the 2003-04 season, earning a share of their<br />

second consecutive North Central Conference title and winning the North Central Regional for the<br />

third consecutive year. SDSU finished the 2003-04 season with a 26-7 mark, falling to eventual<br />

national champion California (Pa.) in the first round of the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.<br />

With <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> moving up to NCAA Division I during the 2004-05 season, the Johnstonled<br />

Jackrabbits posted their fourth consecutive 20-win season, finishing with a 21-7 record.That mark<br />

included an 8-7 record against Division I opponents, highlighted by victories over NCAA Tournament<br />

qualifier Middle Tennessee <strong>State</strong> and <strong>South</strong>eastern Conference opponents Alabama and Kentucky.<br />

The Jackrabbits continued their rise in the Division I ranks with a 19-9 record in 2005-06, then put<br />

together a breaktrough campaign during the 2006-07 season by posting a 25-6 overall record and<br />

becoming the first team in transition to reach the postseason, reaching the quarterfinals of the<br />

Women’s NIT. SDSU won WNIT home games against Illinois <strong>State</strong> and Indiana before falling at<br />

Wyoming.<br />

Johnston will lead the Jackrabbits into another new era as <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> begins play in the<br />

10-team Summit League during the 2007-08 season.<br />

During their first three seasons at the Divison I level, the Jackrabbits dominated the independent<br />

ranks by posting a 19-2 overall record against fellow D-I independents, including an 18-0 record the<br />

last two seasons. In both the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons Johnston was honored as the Division I<br />

Independent Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year.<br />

Johnston first became associated with the Jackrabbit women’s basketball team when he spent the<br />

1999-2000 season as assistant coach under Nancy Neiber. After Neiber took a leave of absence late<br />

in the season, Johnston coached the Jackrabbits to a 4-2 record in the final six games of the season as<br />

as SDSU finished the season with a 19-8 overall record, 11-7 in NCC play. One of the Jackrabbits’<br />

victories was over second-ranked and eventual national runner-up North <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />

When the interim label was removed from his title on June 30, 2000, Johnston became the seventh<br />

head coach in the modern era of <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> women’s basketball, which began in<br />

1967.<br />

In the 2000-01 season, his first full season as Jackrabbit head coach, Johnston led SDSU to a 15-<br />

12 overall record.That mark included a North Central Conference record of 9-9, which earned the<br />

Jackrabbits a berth in the seven-team Wells Fargo Finals conference postseason tournament.<br />

During the 2001-02 season, Johnston led a Jackrabbit squad which included just two seniors and<br />

nine freshmen to SDSU’s first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.The Jackrabbits<br />

compiled a 28-9 record, setting a then-school record for wins in a season.<br />

A native of Pine Island, Minn.,“A.J.” earned a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from<br />

Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn. After serving one year as an assistant coach at North<br />

<strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> College of Science in Wahpeton, he moved on to SDSU as a graduate assistant for the<br />

Jackrabbit men’s basketball team for two seasons before becoming assistant women’s coach. He also<br />

coached the SDSU golf teams one year.<br />

seasons as assistant coach<br />

Laurie Melum continues her long association with the Jackrabbit women’s basketball program as she<br />

enters her eighth season as assistant coach at <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

Melum played an instrumental role in the development of the Jackrabbit women’s basketball<br />

program into a championship-caliber team at the NCAA Division II level and has helped direct a seamless<br />

transition into the Division I ranks by serving as recruiting coordinator. Melum’s recruiting has allowed the<br />

Jackrabbits to attract a number of top in-state high school recruits throughout the D-I transition, while<br />

continuing to secure commitments from top-level players throughout the Upper Midwest.<br />

“Laurie has been an integral part of the the success of our women’s basketball program throughout<br />

her time here,” head coach Aaron Johnston said.“Her ability to relate to and develop the women within<br />

our program has paid huge dividends on the court and in the classroom.”<br />

During her time with the Jackrabbits, SDSU has compiled a 166-53 overall record and qualified for<br />

postseason play four times — three consecutive NCAA Division II Elite Eight appearances from 2002-04<br />

and a Women’s NIT berth at the Division I level in 2007.<br />

She also provides on-court instruction for the Jackrabbit backcourt players. In working with the team’s<br />

guards, Melum guided the development of 2006 Division I Defensive Player of the Year Heather Sieler<br />

and WNBA second-round draft pick Megan Vogel.<br />

Melum’s other duties with the team have included monitoring the team’s academic progress. In each<br />

of the last four years and five times overall the Jackrabbits have been recipients of the Women’s<br />

Basketball Coaches Association’s Academic Top 25 Honor Roll. Since moving to Division I, SDSU has<br />

placed no worse than second for team grade-point average among its D-I counterparts and has led all<br />

levels of women’s college basketball in team GPA each of the past two seasons. In addition, Jackrabbit<br />

players have received numerous academic all-conference and academic all-Independent honors, with<br />

both Sieler and Vogel earning NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recognition.<br />

GAME 1: SDSU 61, Illinois <strong>State</strong> 48<br />

March 17, 2007 • Frost Arena (Att. 5,719)<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> showed signs of rust at times, but made enough plays in<br />

crunch time to make its debut in the Women’s NIT a successful one, defeating<br />

Illinois <strong>State</strong>, 61-48, in second-round action.<br />

Early on, the two teams traded baskets before the Jackrabbits grabbed the lead<br />

for good, 7-6, on a layup by Andrea Verdegan with 17 minutes, 15 seconds<br />

remaining in the first half.That basket keyed a 10-2 run, capped by a Megan Vogel<br />

three-pointer, as SDSU took a 17-8 lead.<br />

The Redbirds responded with a 7-0 run, including a triple by Megan<br />

McCracken, to pull within a basket. Another Jackrabbit surge put SDSU back up by<br />

seven, 33-26, heading into the final minute of the half before ISU scored the final<br />

four points of the half. McCracken drained her third three-pointer of the half just<br />

before the buzzer to make the halftime score 33-30.<br />

After Illinois <strong>State</strong> opened the second-half scoring with a basket by Nicolle<br />

Lewis, SDSU went on a 9-0 run over the next two-plus minutes to take its first<br />

double-digit lead of the night at 42-32.The Jackrabbits would keep ISU at arm’s<br />

length the rest of the way as the Redbirds could not pull any closer than six points,<br />

51-45, on a basket by Sara Stevenson with 5:59 remaining.<br />

The Jackrabbits, who last played on March 3 and received a first-round bye,<br />

turned up their defense another notch in the closing minutes, holding ISU scoreless<br />

the last 5:20 of the game.<br />

Vogel led all scorers with 23 points, while Verdegan added 10, despite missing<br />

most of the first half with foul trouble. Courtney Grimsrud and reserve Maria<br />

Boever added eight points each.<br />

SDSU ended the night 23-of-57 from the field, 40.4 percent, including 5-of-17<br />

on three-pointers.<br />

Both teams struggled from the line. SDSU finished the game 10-of-21, 47.6<br />

percent, while the Redbirds made only 5-of-15 at the stripe, 33.3 percent.<br />

However, the Jackrabbits committed only seven turnovers, compared to 14 by ISU.<br />

Illinois <strong>State</strong> finished 19-of-54 from the field, 35.2 percent, and was 5-of-19<br />

from behind the arc.<br />

McCracken led the Redbirds with 15 points, including four three-pointers. Kristi<br />

Cirone added 11.<br />

After trailing on the boards for much of the game, SDSU finished with a 42-40<br />

edge in rebounds. Grimsrud and Jennifer Warkenthien led the Jackrabbits with<br />

eight boards apiece, with Lashawn Johnson of Illinois <strong>State</strong> leading all players with<br />

nine.<br />

GAME 2: SDSU 60, Indiana 53<br />

March 22, 2007 • Frost Arena (Att. 6,053)<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> overcame a cold-shooting night from the field and a 13-<br />

point first-half deficit, but converted at the free throw line to pull out a 60-53<br />

victory over Indiana and earn a berth in the Women’s NIT quarterfinals before a<br />

sellout and record crowd of 6,053 at Frost Arena.<br />

Indiana led throughout the first half, building a 12-5 lead in the first seven<br />

minutes and later extending the margin to 13 at 24-11 on a Kim Roberson steal<br />

and layup with 8 minutes, 3 seconds remaining in the front half.<br />

SDSU responded with a 12-0 run over the next four minutes to get back to<br />

within one. Freshman Maria Boever scored five points in the run.<br />

The Hoosiers stemmed the tide momentarily to go back up by six, 29-23, on a<br />

three-pointer by Nikki Smith. SDSU again crawled back to within one on a threepointer<br />

by Andrea Verdegan before Whitney Thomas scored a basket in the closing<br />

seconds to put Indiana up 31-28 at halftime.<br />

The Jackrabbits grabbed their first lead of the game, 36-35, at the 16:22 mark<br />

of the second half on a basket by Andrea Verdegan. Reserves Laura Nielsen and<br />

Ketty Cornemann later hit back-to-back baskets to give SDSU a 46-40 lead.<br />

Indiana mounted one last run, outscoring SDSU 8-0 over a six-minute span to<br />

regain the lead.The Hoosiers led 53-52 with 2:28 remaining in the game, but<br />

would not score again as their roster, which featured just seven active players, was<br />

further depleted when two players fouled out in the final two-plus minutes.<br />

Megan Vogel, who led all players with 14 points despite an off night from the<br />

field, tied the game at 53-all with a free throw and scored the go-ahead basket<br />

with 1:20 on the clock.<br />

The Jackrabbits clamped down defensively down the stretch and scored its final<br />

five points at the stripe, making 5-of-8 attempts in the final minute. For the game,<br />

SDSU was 21-of-28 at the line, including a 9-for-9 performance in the first half.<br />

Jennifer Warkenthien led SDSU at the line with an 8-for-9 effort en route to 10<br />

points.Verdegan contributed 12 points.<br />

SDSU needed every point from the free throw line it could muster because the<br />

Jackrabbits were not hitting from the perimeter.The Jackrabbits ended the night 3-<br />

of-21 from three-point range, including an 0-for-10 performance in the second<br />

half. For the game, SDSU made 18-of-55 shots from the field, 32.7 percent.<br />

IU shot just 19 percent from the field in the second half, making 5-of-26 shots<br />

in the final 20 minutes and 17-of-53, 32 percent, for the game.<br />

Rebounding was another key for the Jackrabbits as they pulled down 17 offensive<br />

boards and held a 49-33 advantage on the boards. Boever grabbed a careerbest<br />

10 rebounds, while Grimsrud tallied nine.<br />

Thomas led Indiana with 12 rebounds and completed a double-double with 10<br />

points. Nikki Smith led a balanced Hoosier offensive attack with 12 points. Sarah<br />

McKay and Roberson each tallied 11 points.<br />

ABOUT SOUTH DAKOTA STATE<br />

UNIVERSITY


About <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

With a record enrollment of 11,706<br />

students in the fall of 2007, <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> is the state’s largest institution<br />

of higher education.<br />

EARLY HISTORY<br />

Located in Brookings, SDSU was authorized<br />

in 1881 by the Territorial Legislative Assembly<br />

and serves as the state’s land-grant institution.Territorial<br />

Council member John O’Brien<br />

Scobey, failing to obtain the penitentiary for<br />

Brookings, managed to secure <strong>Dakota</strong><br />

Agricultural College for his city.<br />

Although allocations fell short of the<br />

actual cost, the school was able to open in the<br />

fall of 1884 because the president, George<br />

Lilley, was willing to advance $500 — onethird<br />

of his salary — to finish three rooms in<br />

the new Central Building.<br />

In 1887, the Agricultural Experiment Station<br />

was established under the federal Hatch Act<br />

and linked to the <strong>University</strong> to conduct<br />

research that concerned agriculture and the<br />

home.The Cooperative Extension Service was<br />

added in 1914 through the Smith-Lever Act.<br />

During the first year of operation, only<br />

preparatory classes were held. College classes<br />

started in 1885 with five teachers, 17 freshman<br />

and 61 preparatory students. Growth was<br />

slow and erratic for many years, but by the<br />

turn of the 20th century there were 242 students.<br />

By 1990, SDSU had an enrollment of more<br />

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY features an 18-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio. Over the<br />

past five years, the average placement rate at SDSU has been 95 percent, with placement<br />

in selected majors like pharmacy and engineering approaching 100 percent.<br />

than 9,000 students.Today, students from all<br />

50 states and more than 40 countries attend<br />

SDSU.<br />

More than 67,000 degrees have been<br />

granted since the college was chartered in<br />

1881.<br />

TOMPKINS ALUMNI CENTER features the Aggie School Clock Tower. The building, located<br />

on the west side of campus, hosts many university and alumni functions throughout the<br />

year.<br />

COLLEGES ESTABLISHED<br />

The structure of the college became more<br />

complex as enrollments increased.The first<br />

nine chairs of instruction established in 1884<br />

included agriculture, science, mathematics,<br />

English, modern languages, military tactics,<br />

veterinary science, practical business, political<br />

and domestic economy, and music.<br />

By 1907, the year the name of the institution<br />

was changed to <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />

College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts,<br />

there were 22 departments on campus.<br />

In 1964, when “<strong>State</strong> College” was<br />

renamed <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>, there<br />

were six colleges; today degrees are offered<br />

through these eight colleges:<br />

• Agricultural and Biological Sciences<br />

• Arts and Science<br />

EVOLUTION OF A NICKNAME<br />

There are two theories as to how and why the Jackrabbit nickname evolved.The most common<br />

belief is that the name “Jackrabbits” came from a story and cartoon sketch that appeared in a<br />

Minneapolis newspaper following a 1905 football game between the <strong>University</strong> of Minnesota and<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> College, as the university was then known. A reporter for the newspaper, knowing<br />

of the preponderance of jackrabbits in the Brookings area, was believed to have written that the<br />

SDSC team was as quick as jackrabbits. Many people believe that the school adopted the Jackrabbits<br />

as its official nickname from that beginning.<br />

The other theory about the origin of the nickname is given in The Jackrabbit, SDSU’s yearbook.<br />

There is a poem in the 1907 yearbook that puts forth the idea that the yearbook is called The<br />

Jackrabbit because a group of juniors wished to immortalize themselves by changing the name of<br />

the yearbook. Athletic teams followed suit, adopting the nickname.<br />

Prior to the adoption of the Jackrabbit nickname, school athletic teams were known as the Barn<br />

Yard Cadets as SDSU was known as <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts<br />

in 1907.<br />

federal funds is to be awarded to SDSU and<br />

six other universities to serve as Vanguard centers<br />

for the National Children’s Study.The NCS<br />

will study more than 100,000 children across<br />

the country from conception to age 21.<br />

As part of the Governor’s 2010 Initiative, a<br />

goal is for <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> to become a recognized<br />

leader in research and technology development.To<br />

realize this goal, SDSU faculty are<br />

involved in five research centers:<br />

• Center for Infectious Disease Research<br />

and Vaccinology<br />

• Center for Bioprocessing Research and<br />

Development<br />

• Center for Drought Tolerance<br />

Biotechnology<br />

• Center for Accelerated Applications at the<br />

Nanoscale<br />

MUSEUMS AND ATTRACTIONS<br />

The educational opportunities don’t end in<br />

the classroom or laboratory as <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> is home to several facilities,<br />

including museums and gardens, which highlight<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> history and heritage.<br />

The <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> Art Museum houses several<br />

collections, including early Sioux Indian<br />

(continued on next page)


About <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

tribal art, the famed Harvey Dunn paintings of<br />

pioneer life and the exclusive Vera Way<br />

Marghab linens.<br />

The <strong>State</strong> Agricultural Heritage Museum<br />

transformed the former Stock Judging Pavilion<br />

into a home for exhibits that record and preserve<br />

the agrarian heritage of <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong>.<br />

The 70-acre McCrory Gardens and <strong>South</strong><br />

<strong>Dakota</strong> Arboretum, located south and east of<br />

campus, provide a beautiful setting for area<br />

residents and tourists to enjoy a stroll through<br />

the radiant colors and fragrances of one of the<br />

top 10 small ornamental gardens in the<br />

nation. It is also recognized as an All-American<br />

Display Garden, one of only 13 in the nation.<br />

In 1993, McCrory Gardens was designated<br />

an All-American Judging Garden to conduct<br />

research on annual flowers.<br />

In 1982, the area north of the formal garden<br />

was dedicated to the planting and testing<br />

of ornamental trees and shrubs.The 45-acre<br />

site was designated the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />

Arboretum in 1988.<br />

Perhaps <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s most<br />

recognizable landmark is the 165-foot<br />

Coughlin Campanile, the state’s largest<br />

chimes tower. A climb of 179 steps leads to a<br />

panoramic view of the city.<br />

The statuesque structure on the west end of<br />

campus was a $65,000 gift from 1909 engineering<br />

graduate Charles Coughlin, who later<br />

went on to become head of the Briggs &<br />

Stratton Corporation.<br />

Coughlin laid the campanile’s cornerstone on<br />

June 10, 1929. Since then, its chimes have<br />

called students to classes with the famous<br />

Westminster peals.<br />

An alumni-sponsored project to restore the<br />

campanile was completed in the summer of<br />

2001.<br />

Adjacent to the campanile, Coolidge-Sylvan<br />

Theatre has provided a restful, green haven for<br />

students since its dedication by President<br />

Calvin Coolidge in September 1927.<br />

Over the years the outdoor amphiteater has<br />

been the site of concerts, graduations and<br />

inaugurations for university presidents.<br />

Woodbine Cottage, the home of the university<br />

president, is a charming example of Queen<br />

Anne architecture. Built in 1887 by <strong>South</strong><br />

<strong>Dakota</strong> Agricultural College’s second president,<br />

Dr. Lewis McLouth, the home is crowned by<br />

multiple roof lines.<br />

The house also has served as a women’s<br />

dormitory, music hall and infirmary.<br />

STATE’S LARGEST LIBRARY<br />

The Hilton M. Briggs Library, the state’s<br />

largest, was opened in 1977 and joined <strong>South</strong><br />

<strong>Dakota</strong>’s statewide automated library network<br />

in 1988.Through the library, users have<br />

access to holdings from all 10 of the state’s<br />

libraries, including official documents and<br />

more than 1 million other holdings at Briggs.<br />

THE BROOKINGS COMMUNITY<br />

Today, Brookings is a growing community of<br />

about 18,700 people. Located 20 miles west<br />

THE COUGHLIN CAMPANILE is SDSU’s<br />

most recognizable landmark.<br />

of the Minnesota border and 50 miles north of<br />

Sioux Falls in east-central <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong>,<br />

Brookings is situated at the intersection of U.S.<br />

Highway 14 and Interstate 29.<br />

The community also is home to several recognizable<br />

companies including Rainbow Play<br />

Systems, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing<br />

(3M), Larson Manufacturing, and Daktronics, a<br />

leading manufacturer of scoreboards and display<br />

systems.<br />

Vision, Mission and Values of the SDSU Athletic Department<br />

Every undertaking of <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> is driven by a common force — a relentless commitment to excellence.<br />

Within the Athletic Department, excellence is measured by much more than wins and losses. We are committed to providing<br />

each and every student-athlete with a comprehensive collegiate experience that is second to none. Every decision that guides<br />

our program is made with the student-athlete in mind. Is Athletic Achievement important? Yes, because it is the fundamental<br />

purpose of the student-athlete experience. Is Social Responsibility a vital component? Yes, we expect to contribute to the<br />

well-being of our campus, community, and state. How about Positive Student-Athlete Experiences and Competitive Success?<br />

Those also define our program because they are integral to the student athlete’s growth. That is what it means to be studentcentered,<br />

and why our vision is:<br />

VISION: To be a premier student-centered<br />

collegiate athletic program.<br />

How will SDSU <strong>Athletics</strong> achieve that vision? By working<br />

tirelessly to create a special place where student-athletes<br />

who share our drive and determination can develop life<br />

skills that lead not only to athletic success, but pave the<br />

way for victories long into their lives.The important work<br />

of creating that setting is the heart of our mission:<br />

MISSION: To passionately and relentlessly create<br />

an environment, rooted in sportsmanship and<br />

ethical conduct, where motivated student-athletes<br />

can develop into lifelong champions.<br />

To be a lifelong champion, one must maintain a discipline of taking the<br />

highest road. Similarly, SDSU is guided by a stringent value set that<br />

will not be compromised:<br />

VALUES: Honesty, equity, academic integrity,<br />

fiscal integrity and social responsibility with the<br />

expectation of competing at the highest level.<br />
