DALLAS (SMU) - Sophomore forward Delisha Wills scored a team-high 17 points and pulled down seven rebounds to lead the SMU women's basketball team to an 84-58 victory over the Houston Jaguars first exhibition game of the year.

Wills was one of four Mustangs in double figures Wednesday night. Senior Sharee Shepherd had 12 points, and led the team in rebounds with eight and assists, with six. Freshman guard Jillian Samuels and senior forward Katie Gross chipped in with 10 points apiece.

SMU's offense was sparked in part by the Mustangs' three-point shooting - the Ponies hit 56.3 percent (9-of-16) of their shots from beyond the arc. Gross hit three of six, Samuels hit two of four and Shepherd drained both of her attempts from long range.

The Mustangs return Moody Coliseum with another exhibition game at 5 p.m., Sunday, against the All-Stars. For a complete schedule and ticket information, log on to SMUMustangs.com.
