 BROOKINGS, South Dakota – Sydney Coffey scored her 1000^th career point and Tori Jarosz poured in 19 points in the second half but it wasn't enough as the Marist women's basketball team fell on the road to the South Dakota State University Jackrabbits Friday night in Brookings, South Dakota.

The Red Foxes led at the half but some hot shooting and strong rebounding from the Jackrabbits allowed South Dakota to pull away and control the remainder of the game. The Jackrabbits had their biggest lead of 15 with 6:41 remaining and the closest the Red Foxes would get to is within 10 with 3:31 remaining in the game.

The Jackrabbits used a 28-15 third quarter to take control of the game and would hold the Red Foxes at bay from there. Jarosz hampered by early foul trouble would score 19 of her 21 points in the second half while converting on 11 of her 14 free throw attempts.

The quick fouls for Jarosz wouldn't deter the Red Foxes from a hot shooting first half as the team connected on 12-of-24 (.500) of their field goal attempts and 5-of-11 (.455) of their three point attempts in the half. The Red Foxes had stretches of genius on offense but the youth also showed as the team would have ten turnovers in the half and 14 in the game overall.

The youthful mistakes could be chalked up to a milestone moment for the Red Foxes, as head coach Brian Giorgis started true freshmen, Rebecka Garderyd and Morgan Bartner, in a season opener for the first time in his tenure. Garderyd played 13 minutes and recorded two points and a steal, while Bartner played 12 minutes and pulled down four rebounds.

Heading into the game Coffey needed 14 points for 1,000 in her career, a three pointer from the wing with 5:37 left in the 4^th quarter would give Coffey her milestone and helped pull the Red Foxes back to within 11.

Coffey would finish the game with 18 points on 5-for-11 shooting and led the team with a game-high five assists. The Red Foxes other double-digit scorer, Allie Clement, scored 12 points on 4-for-8 shooting from three point range and dished out four assists.

Up next the Red Foxes head to Omaha, Nebraska to take on BigEast foe Creighton on Sunday, November 15^th. Tip-off is scheduled for 11 A.M. CT/12 P.M. ET.
