South Dakota State women's basketball is aiming to add a major conference opponent to its resume, but the Jackrabbits could not find success against the Texas Longhorns this week.
Texas defeated the Jacks 93-63 on Wednesday at the Moody Center in Austin. The sixth-ranked Longhorns controlled the game, outscoring SDSU 26-15 in the first quarter and 29-18 in the third.
The win dropped the Jackrabbits to a 1-2 record for the season. Texas shot 57% from the field compared to SDSU's 44%. Jayda Clark led the Longhorns with 24 points on 10-of-15 shooting. Four other Texas players finished in double figures.
The Jacks struggled with ball security, committing 21 turnovers against five for Texas. Those errors allowed the Longhorns to score 13 points on fast breaks. Texas also dominated inside, leading by 46-28 in points in the paint.
Katie Vasecka and Claire Sheppard led the Jacks with 12 points each. Audrey Shindelar added 10 points, and Brooklyn Meyer contributed nine points and eight rebounds. The teams have played three times in the last three years, with Texas winning each matchup.
SDSU plays No. 19 Oklahoma State on Sunday at First Bank & Trust Arena in Brookings. The last meeting between these two teams occurred in the 2025 NCAA tournament, where the Jacks won the first-round game.
