ELMHURST, Ill. - South Dakota State junior Kelli Fiegen followed up her 2010 Summit League Player of the Year honor by being the lone Jackrabbit represented on the 2011 all-Summit League teams, earning first-team honors for her performance during the season.

"Kelli had a fantastic season for us," head coach Phil McDaniel said. "She worked extremely hard for her teammates this season, and the numbers show that. This is a well-deserved honor for her."
