SHREVEPORT, La. - South Dakota State set a school record for field goal percentage in a game, shooting better than 60 percent in each half, as the Jackrabbits returned to their winning ways with a 92-50 victory over Centenary Monday night at the Gold Dome.

Ketty Cornemann scored a career-high 25 points on 6-of-6 shooting from three-point range to lead the Jackrabbits, who improved to 12-9 overall and 8-3 in The Summit League. Centenary remained winless in league play at 0-11 and dropped to 1-21 overall.

SDSU set the tone early on, racing out to a 9-0 lead in the first 100 seconds of the contest. The Jackrabbits made it a 14-2 run to start the game before Centenary whittled the deficit down to nine on a couple occasions, the last at 34-25 following Megan Daniel's third three-pointer of the half with a little more than three minutes to play in the opening stanza.

The Jackrabbits scored the final five points of the half to lead 39-25 at intermission.

After shooting 62.5 percent (15-of-24) in the opening 20 minutes, the Jackrabbits came out blazing in the second half. SDSU connected on its first eight shots from the floor and 11-of-12 overall to go up by 30, 67-37.

SDSU continued to build the lead behind a balanced scoring attack paced by Cornemann, who made four three-pointers in the second half and was 9-of-11 from the field for the game. Three other Jackrabbits reached double figures as Maria Boever and reserve Ashley Eide each scored 14 points and Jennie Sunnarborg tallied 11. Boever was 7-of-10 from the field, while Eide was a perfect 5-for-5 for the second time this season against Centenary.

Another freshman reserve, Leah Dietel, went 3-for-3 from the field as she contributed eight points and a game-high six rebounds. SDSU held a 28-19 rebounding advantage.

The Jackrabbits finished the game 64.7 percent from the field, making 33-of-51 attempts, including 10-of-17 from three-point range. The previous SDSU record for single-game field goal percentage was 64.4 percent (38-of-59), set against Concordia-Moorhead (Minn.) in 1990.

SDSU also was efficient at the free throw line, making 16-of-19 attempts, 84.2 percent.

Centenary received 12 points and four rebounds from Leslie Forest. The Ladies ended the game 19-of-42 from the field, 45.2 percent, including 4-for-12 on three-pointers. At the line, Centenary made 8-of-15 tries, 53.3 percent.
