Five... count 'em... five straight half-court shots made by the South Dakota State women's basketball team during a practice at Betty Englestad Arena in Grand Forks, ND.

The video was first tweeted out on Thursday, a day after the Jackrabbits beat the Fighting Hawks 74-61.

The shots were made, in order, by Sydney Stapleton, Addison Hirschman, Paiton Burckhard, Jordan Ferrand, and Lindsey Theuninck.

Three of those players are sophomores who played prep basketball at Minnesota high schools.

Stapleton is a former Minnesota Ms. Basketball finalist from Blaine and Ferrand played both basketball and volleyball at White Bear Lake.

Theuninck, who played at Mankato Loyola and was an all-state Class A selection four times, was heard saying "so much pressure" before unleashing and swishing the final shot, much to the absolute delight among her teammates.

The box score shows all five played in Wednesday's win, but only Burckhard, who had 11 points, scored in the game.
