Godbolt poured in a career high tying 16 points and hauled in 12rebounds, also career high tying, led North Texas in both categories.

Christine Elliot led all scorers with 18 points for SMU as teammate Haley Day topped her previous season high of 10 by tallying 16 points.

The Mustangs collected 18 assists in the contest while only surrendering 8 turnovers to the Mean Green. SMU also held North Texas to its second lowest free throw attempts of the season, sending the Mean Green to the line only 10 times on the night nine of which were in the first half.
