South Dakota State Women's Soccer looking to up the challenges in 2024
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – South Dakota State Women’s Soccer has been flirting in the NCAA tournament for some time now, making their way through the Summit League and trying to take on Power 5 opponents.
This year’s campaign starts with a team they played as an exhibition last season: The Kansas Jayhawks. That match gets underway tomorrow, August 15, at 7:00 p.m. at Fishback Soccer Park in Brookings.
It’s part of a pretty tough opening schedule for the Jackrabbits, but that’s the way they designed it according to head coach Brock Thompson.
He said getting those tough challenges early is going to help the team sharpen their skills, especially a team that’s looking to make quite an impact this year.
The team itself is excited with the players they brought on this year to help bolster the roster. That includes a number of freshmen who could make an impact early on in the season, as they look for as much fan support as they can get.
“We want to play the best schedule that we can because we know that as we go through the course of the season and need to grow that ultimately it’s going to come down to winning games late and any experience that you have, any challenges that you have along the way, are going to help with that,” Thompson said.
“This is a really great group of girls, especially with the freshman. And it goes with everybody from the coaches to the players to the fans so we look forward to having everyone out at Fishback to watch us hopefully get our first win,” SDSU Midfielder/Defender Katherine Jones said.
After Thursday’s game, South Dakota State makes a Colorado swing to take on Northern Colorado, and Colorado College.

5 safety tips for winter driving conditions in Arizona
Taking a trip up to Flagstaff or driving through Prescott during the Arizona winter? Here are five tips to stay safe when cruising on winter roads.
The Republic
State Sen. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, announced on the social media platform X on Sunday that he had left the hospital, about a week after breaking bones and suffering other injuries in a single-car crash in South Dakota.
Kern, who was visiting family, was riding with a friend through a snowstorm when the car hit ice and the driver lost control.
He posted that he was out of the critical stage and making his way back to Phoenix, but he couldn’t fly due to a collapsed lung.
Kern is finishing his first state Senate term after three terms in the state House. This fall, he opted to run for a congressional seat rather than seek a return to the state Capitol but lost the GOP race for Congressional District 8 to Abe Hamadeh.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Partly cloudy skies are expected. A stray shower or two will be possible, but chances aren’t great. Highs will be in the 40s and 50s for much of KOTA Territory.
Wind gusts could range from 30 to 40 mph at times – especially across western South Dakota.
We’ll remain mild all Christmas week with highs in the 40s to near 50°. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies will be likely all week long. It could get a little breezy on Christmas Day, but nothing too crazy.
