White Career High Leads SMU To Win Against ECU

DALLAS (SMU) – Kayla White scored a career-high 34 points to lead the SMU women's basketball team to a 60-49 victory over ECU in Moody Coliseum Thursday afternoon. White became the first Mustang to eclipse 30 points since Nov. 26, 2017, when McKenzie Adams finished with 35 at Nevada.

Savannah Wilkinson added 16 points and 13 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the season in 14 games played. The Mustangs improved to 8-6 overall and 2-0 in the American Athletic Conference with the win.

As a team, SMU shot 45.7 percent, 21-of-46, and made 7-of-11 field goals in the first quarter, 63.6 percent, the highest of any quarter this season. ECU was limited to a 27.8 shooting percentage, going 20-for-72 from the field, including 2-for-19 from 3-point range.

The SMU defense held the Pirates (7-9, 0-3 The American) to just nine points in the first quarter and 16 total points in the first half. SMU started the game with 18 points in the first 10 minutes and led by 13 at halftime, 29-16. The Mustangs stretched their lead to 19 at the end of the third quarter, scoring 19 after the break for a 48-29 advantage. ECU outscored SMU 20-12 in the final quarter, but the lead was never in danger.

White finished 11-of-18 from the field, making 2-of-3 3-point attempts, and was a perfect 10-for-10 at the free throw line. Jasmine Smith finished with five points and five assists, continuing to rank near the top in the conference in assists per game, averaging 4.6 prior to Thursday's contest.
SMU outrebounded ECU 47-33, limiting the Pirates to just 13 offensive rebounds while grabbing 40 defensive rebounds.

The Mustangs play their next game at home on Saturday at 2 p.m. against Tulane in Moody Coliseum.

2-0 to start our conference play! Go ladies! Also, we got this win and the girls were far from their best. Good teams win ugly sometimes.
