The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are set to host St. Cloud State for an exhibition game at the newly-renovated First Bank & Trust Arena on Wednesday night. This matchup marks the third time in six seasons that the Huskies have faced off against the Jackrabbits. SDSU, coming off a successful season last year with a 27-6 record and a trip to the NCAA Tournament, is predicted to repeat as the top team in the Summit League this season. Head Coach Aaron Johnston enters his 25th season with the program, with key players like Brooklyn Meyer and Paige Meyer leading the team.
Eight returning Jackrabbits have significant starting experience, and the team has added five freshmen to its roster. South Dakota State also faces tough competition in its non-conference schedule against ranked teams like Texas, Duke, and Creighton. St. Cloud State, led by head coach Lori Fish who is a South Dakota State graduate, looks to improve upon an 18-10 record from last season.
Fans can catch the game through the Jackrabbit Sports Network, as there will be no live stream or live stats available. With Brooklyn Meyer and Paige Meyer on the watchlist for major awards as well as the team receiving votes in preseason polls, the stage is set for an exciting exhibition matchup between the South Dakota State Jackrabbits and the St. Cloud State Huskies.
