Embry Nets 20 In Win at Oral Roberts

TULSA, Okla. – SMU overcame a slow start to defeat Louisiana Tech 63-59 in nonconference action at Moody Coliseum Tuesday.

The Mustangs' offense sputtered early, turning the ball over and settling for jumpers. Head coach Toyelle Wilson called a timeout 1:51 into the contest and her team responded.

Changing gears and making a concerted effort to work the ball inside, SMU methodically increased its cushion to 13, the largest of the half at 34-21, with 2:50 left before intermission. Oral Roberts utilized a pair of 3-point buckets in the closing seconds, reducing the deficit to three possessions at 46-37.

Chantae Embry paced the offense in the opening twenty minutes, with 13 points, draining 6 of 9 from the field, including 1 of 2 behind the arc.

In the third quarter, SMU went back inside, tallying 10 of its 18 points in the paint and adding five more at the charity stripe. The Mustangs defense held Oral Roberts to 5 of 15 from the field, including 0 of 6 from three-point range.

Holding a 14-point advantage with ten minutes remaining, SMU continued to execute the game plan, matching the Golden Eagles bucket for bucket, until the final 75 seconds. Smith and Savannah Wilkinson buried a jumper each for the final margin.

The Mustangs return to Moody Coliseum Tuesday for a 7 p.m. tip against Arkansas Pine-Bluff.
