FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. – South Dakota State’s Madison Guebert made the game-winning 3-point field goal before the final buzzer sounded as the Jackrabbits defeated Charlotte 71-70 in the Puerto Rico Clasico in Cardinal Gibbons Arena on Saturday afternoon.
The come-from-behind win improved SDSU to 5-1 on the season while Charlotte fell to 2-4.
Macy Miller recorded her third 20-plus point game of the year with a season- and game-high 25 points. The junior sank a season-best four 3-pointers and was 7-of-10 from the free-throw line.
Guebert tallied 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including five 3-pointers.
SDSU sank 14 treys on 28 attempts.
The Jackrabbits led just three times in the game. With 19 seconds left in the third quarter, Miller sank a 3-pointer to give SDSU a 53-52 lead but the 49ers closed the quarter with two foul shots for a 54-53 lead. Charlotte then used an 8-2 run at the start of the fourth quarter to take a seven-point lead, 62-55, with 6:45 left.
South Dakota State took its second lead when Rylie Cascio Jensen sank a 3-pointer to cap a 10-2 run and give the Jackrabbits a 65-64 lead with 2:58 remaining.
A traditional three-point play by the 49ers was answered by a Guebert three-point play with 36 seconds left. Charlotte’s Amaya Ransom sank a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left for a 70-68 49er lead.
With one second left, Guebert took a pass from Alexis Alexander on the right wing for the final SDSU 3-pointer and the win.
The Jackrabbits assisted on 20 of their 23 field goals, as seven different players recorded at least two – including four by Miller. She also grabbed five rebounds.
Notes: Guebert is now fifth in career 3-pointers at State with 195. ... Miller’s 25 points gave her 1,224 for her career. ... Thompson has 1,024 career points and Guebert 935.
