Re: WBB vs IPFW

I'm watching the UNO-USD game on SD Public TV; by the looks of this game, we'd be right in the thick of the NCC race if we were still D2.

The game is in Omaha, can't be more than 1000 fans there.

Sieler Sparks Jacks Past IPFW



BROOKINGS, SD - South Dakota State, led by senior guard Heather Sieler, scored points three at a timein the second half as the Jackrabbits pulled away to defeat Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne 74-53 in non-conference women’s basketball.

After trailing 38-37 five minutes into the second half, SDSU outscored IPFW 34-9 to take a 72-47 lead. Sieler hit all five of her three-point attempts to spark that spurt and the Jacks not only hit 8-of-13 three-point shots, but added a pair of three-point plays the old fashioned way with a basket and free throw.

Sieler was scoreless in the first half and finished the game with 18 points to lead the Jacks while Megan Vogel hit three from behind the arc and scored 16. Andrea Verdegan added 11.

SDSU survived a 2-for-22 shooting drought and 11 turnovers to lead 32-25 at halftime thanks in part to to a 28-18 rebounding advantage and 14-4 margin at the free throw line. SDSU missed 12 layups in the first half.

IPFW tied the game at 32, then took the lead on a basket Tina Moen with 15:27 to play. After hitting four straight three-pointers, Sieler scored on a break-away after a steal, was fouled and hit a free throw pushing the lead to 55-43.

IPFW actually out-shot SDSU for the game, 37 per cent (22x59) to 35 per cent (22x63), but SDSU finished with a 49-35 rebounding advantage getting 18 offensive boards. Jennifer Warkentheien led the Jacks with 12 rebounds.

Johnna Lewis-Carlisle led IPFW with 17 points while Hilary O’Connell scored 14.

SDSU, now 10-7 for the season, will play Brown at Providence, Rhode Island, on Sunday (11:30 a.m. Central time, KJJQ radio, 910 am).

Sieler lifts SDSU to victory
Senior scores all of her 18 points in second half

BROOKINGS - In the last four years, Heather Sieler has revived the South Dakota State women's team so many times with a clutch shot that she could be an honorary paramedic.

Sieler came to the rescue again Thursday night, scoring all 18 of her points with five 3-pointers in the second half to lift the Jackrabbits to a 74-53 victory over Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne.

SDSU, which improves to 10-7, travels to Providence, R.I., this weekend to play Brown University out of the Ivy League. But Thursday, it took an old-fashioned Jackrabbit run - a crushing 35-9 explosion - and Sieler's savvy senior guidance to put the distance between them and a determined bunch from IPFW (2-14).

"That was pretty characteristic of what our traditional SDSU women's basketball team looks like," Sieler said. "We usually can stick on a pretty good-sized run in the second half, even though we've been struggling offensively lately."

The Jacks held a 32-25 lead at halftime despite shooting just 23.5 percent, missing 12 layups and turning the ball over 11 times in the first 20 minutes. Five of those miscues were by the normally reliable Sieler.

IPFW made six of its first eight shots to open the second half, including eight points from lightning bolt guard Johnna Lewis-Carlisle. The Mastodons claimed their first and only lead at 38-37 less than five minutes into the final period.

That's when Sieler began to sizzle. Scoreless at halftime, the 5-foot-7 Huron native drained her second 3-pointer of the half off a skip pass against IPFW's bothersome zone defense that had the inside sealed off. That critical basket gave the Jackrabbits the lead for good, awakening their 1,719 fans and the rest of their offense.

SDSU was 8-for-14 from beyond the arc in the second half after making just 2-of-11 in the first. The Jacks made 48.3 percent of their shots after intermission.

"They figured out the zone, but we let them take a lot of wide-open looks," IPFW assistant coach Charity Middleton said. "To (Sieler's) credit, she started knocking them down."

After Lewis-Carlisle answered a Megan Vogel 3-pointer with one of her own to make it 46-43, the following minute belonged to Sieler. She hit back-to-back 3s from the left wing, then plucked a steal at the IPFW free throw line and went in on a fast break for a conventional three-point play that made it 55-43.

After she made the layup and was fouled, Sieler pumped her fist in the air as she bounced off the baseline and pedaled her feet like she was riding an air bicycle. It's a scenario that the Frost Arena faithful have come to expect from the ball of energy, who has started at point guard since her freshman year on SDSU's Division II national championship squad.

"Heather's never been someone who's been a big-time scorer. That's not her nature," SDSU coach Aaron Johnston said. "But she's always been someone who's made big shots. You have to have big shots, and we have not had a lot of big shots in the last six games."

Vogel finished with 16 points, despite 3-of-13 shooting, and seven rebounds. Jennifer Warkenthien, coming off the bench for the first time in her short career, had a game-high 12 rebounds. Her replacement in the starting lineup, fellow freshman Ashlea Muckenhirn, had seven points, six rebounds and five steals.

Lewis-Carlisle led the Mastodons with 17 points, 13 of them in the final half. IPFW had nine blocked shots, seven of them by 6-5 center Kelly Boyd.
