Molly Joyce is South Dakota’s clutch, high-usage backcourt scorer
Molly Joyce has emerged as a proven shot-maker for South Dakota, flashing real late-season impact by scoring 31 points in a WNIT win over Montana State and posting 21 points in a 2026 game against South Dakota State, which points to a guard who can create her own offense and carry stretches when the game tightens.[1][3] Her value goes beyond the box score: she looks like a confident, aggressive perimeter scorer with the mentality to take big shots under pressure, making her a strong fit for teams that need toughness, poise, and a guard who can tilt a game on command.[1][3]
