Badgers women’s basketball crushed on glass in blowout loss to South Dakota State
South Dakota State proved it would be a tough nonconference matchup for the Badgers women’s basketball team when it upset No. 21 Creighton on Friday. In that game, the Jackrabbits dominated the Bluejays on the glass and in the paint.
They did the same to the Badgers, who lost 79-57 Wednesday night in Brookings, S.D.
Wisconsin (2-1) was crushed on the boards 42-22. The Jackrabbits (3-0) had 15-second chance points, while the Badgers had zero. Wisconsin was also outscored in the paint 40-32. The physical Jackrabbits proved too much.
South Dakota State outscored the Badgers in all four quarters, and Wisconsin ended the game on a three-minute scoring drought. The Badgers shot OK from the field, shooting 41%, but struggled from 3-point range, hitting just 27% from deep.
Sarah Williams was effective for the Badgers with 19 points and nine rebounds, and Ronnie Porter had 11 points and four assists. But no other Wisconsin players finished in double figures, and the bench only strung together seven points.
The Jackrabbits, meanwhile, got 28 points from their reserves.
Five South Dakota State players in all finished in double figures. Haleigh Timmer, Brooklyn Meyer and Mesa Byom finished with 13 points each, Paige Meyer added 11 and Kate Vasecka contributed 10. Five players had at least four rebounds.
Among positives for the Badgers was they won the turnover battle with just 11 to South Dakota State’s 14. They took advantage of those turnovers, too, scoring 12 points off them, while the Jackrabbits scored just four off turnovers.
But that wasn’t nearly enough to overcome the disparity on the glass. The Badgers will look to bounce back on Sunday when they host Milwaukee for a 2 p.m. tipoff at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wis.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – The South Dakota Department of Transportation is reminding the public that political campaign and ballot-issue signs are not allowed on state highway rights-of-way.
“This time of year, it is common to find election signs placed along the state’s roadways,” says Craig Smith, Director of Operations.
“Illegal signs create a safety hazard and may distract motorists from seeing important regulatory or directional signage.”
The right-of-way is for official highway signage only.
Signs not required for traffic control, as per SDCL 31-28-14, are prohibited and will be removed by SDDOT crews.
Municipal ordinances on campaign signs do not take precedence over state jurisdiction over state highway rights-of-way.

The University of South Dakota announced on Wednesday, April 22, that Athletic Director Jon Schemmel has received a five-year contract extension running through the 2030-31 academic year.
Schemmel has been in his position since January 2024 and was South Dakota’s senior associate athletic director for development from 2012-2017.

“The University of South Dakota and Vermillion community is where our family wants to be,” Schemmel said in a press release. “I am humbled and grateful for the continued trust from President (Sheila) Gestring and the South Dakota Board of Regents to continue leading this athletics program. Coyote Nation has the best fans and donors, and we have a group of coaches, staff and student-athletes who are committed to competing for championships and continuing their excellence in the classroom and community.”
The athletics department has raised $49 million since Schemmel took over as AD, including $35 million in the 2025-26 academic year.
The Coyotes have won a Missouri Valley Football Conference championship and Summit League volleyball and men’s indoor track and field titles with Schemmel at the helm.
“USD’s athletic programs continue to thrive under Jon’s leadership,” Gestring said. “His knowledge of Division I athletics, forward-thinking vision for our teams and strength in fundraising have all been assets to our university. Our program is in great hands, and I am looking forward to seeing what Jon, his staff and our student-athletes achieve in the next five years.”
