SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The top-seeded SDSU women’s basketball team advanced to the Summit League championship game with an 84-55 victory over fifth-seeded North Dakota Saturday afternoon at the Denny Sanford Premier Center.

The Jackrabbits shot 61.5% (8-for-13) in the first quarter and led 22-11 after 10 minutes of play. After leading by a baker’s dozen at the half, the Jacks pushed the lead out to 20 entering the fourth.

“We’re playing at a really high level, and that’s really important right now,” SDSU forward Mesa Byom said.

Paige tallied 17 points, four boards and four assists. Timmer added 14 points and 10 boards. Byom was also in double figures with 11 points and six rebounds.

The Jacks outrebounded the Fighting Hawks 54-26.

“It’s just a really good rotation [in the post],” SDSU head coach Aaron Johnston said. “That group is really talented… Our inside group is really experienced… We rebound really well.”

The Jackrabbits will face the winner of the Kansas City-Oral Roberts semifinal in the championship game Sunday at 3 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.
