Dakota State University was an unkind guest in
Huron Thursday as both the Trojans and Lady T's
posted DAC-10 conference basketball wins over Si
Tanka-Huron. In the men's
game, the Trojans handed the Screaming Eagles a
74-56 setback, reaching the 4-3 plateau in
league play and 6-10 overall. It was the fifth
win in the last eight games for the Trojans.
The Lady
T's whipped the women Screaming Eagles 89-41,
lifting their marks to 5-2 in the conference and
12-5 overall.
DSU 89, Si Tanka 51
The
Lady T's took a commanding 45-21 first half lead
and never let the Screaming Eagles (7-8, 3-4)
into the ballgame. "We played a complete
game tonight and dominated from the beginning,"
Lady T's Coach Jeff Dittman said after the game.
"I was very pleased with the effort and
concentration we had for the entire 40 minutes.
We made very few mistakes in any phase of the
game."

Angie Carr sparked DSU's offense,
collecting a tilt-top 13 points.
Maria Gengler was right behind with 12,
while Laura Tewes and Jessica VanLoy
each had 11. The Lady T's shot its
field goals at a 52-percent, 32-of-61
clip. They were also 16 for 22 at
the charity stripe.
Gengler had
a double-double, adding 10 of the Lady
T's 33 rebounds to her totals.
Renae Bottum and VanLoy each had five
assists in the game.

"We had a number of solid performances by all of
our athletes," added Dittman. "It
would be
hard to point at one or two people and say they
were the difference. Tonight, the
difference was the entire squad."
The Screaming Eagles got 11 points from Aimee
Montes and 10 from Annie Siverling. Montes
also had eight rebounds and Jamy Eckstaine had
six as Si Tanka-Huron claimed 28 rebounds.
Jamy and Jessyca Eckstaine each had four assists
for Si Tanka-Huron.
DSU doesn't return to action until next weekend,
when the Lady T's host #2 nationally ranked
University of Mary on Friday and Jamestown
College on Saturday.
