On Saturday afternoon, the SMU women’s basketball team prevailed over UCF 63-58 after dominating the second half in Moody Coliseum.
Although the Mustangs had a slow start, trailing the Knights 18-9 in the first quarter, they rebounded tremendously. The Mustangs held the Knights completely scoreless for the first half of the second quarter.
Senior guard Amaura Brandt’s first three-pointer of the game, near the end of the first half, pushed the Mustangs ahead 19-18. Then Brandt’s consistent triples, in combination with McKenzie Adams’ 7 points before half time, diminished the 11 point deficit and expanded the Mustangs’ lead.
