Vermillion, S.D. – The St. Thomas women's basketball team (6-12, 3-5) completed its three-game road trip with a 70-43 loss to the University of South Dakota (16-4, 9-0).
A balanced scoring effort in the first 10 minutes of the game gave St. Thomas an 11-9 lead after the first quarter of action. The Tommies were led in scoring in the first quarter by freshman C Jo Langbehn with four points. Four different players contributed to the scoring column in the first quarter. As a team, St. Thomas connected on 5-of-12 (42 percent) of its shots from the field and 1-of-2 (50 percent) of its shots from behind the arc in the first quarter.
Starting with 1:55 to play in the first quarter through the first two mintues of the second quarter, the Tommies went on a 9-0 run to open a 15-9 lead with 8:08 remaining in the first half. USD responded with a 6-1 lead of its own to bring the game to. 16-16 tie with 6:00 remaining in the second quarter.
In the final six minutes of the second quarter, the Coyotes went on a 17-5 run to take a 33-21 lead into halftime.
The Purple connected on 39 percent (9-of-23) of their shots from the field and 17 percent (1-of-6) in the first half and committed seven turnovers.
Langbehn posted a team-high six first-half points, while senior G Maggie Neegard and grad student F Erin Norling each added five points for the Purple through the first two quarters of play.
The Coyote run extended through halftime and into the third quarter – USD limited the Tommies to a 20 percent shooting effort in the third quarter, while connecting on 47 percent of its own shots from the field in the third quarter. The Yotes extended their lead to 53-33 heading into the 4th quarter.
