DENTON, TEXAS (SMU) - Sophomore forward Delisha Wills posted game highs with 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead four Mustangs in double-figure scoring as the SMU women's basketball team beat North Texas, 68-62, in Denton.

The victory was the sixth in a row for the Mustangs (6-1). The last time SMU won at least six games in a row was in the 2004-05 season, when the Ponies reeled off eight straight wins. UNT slid to 5-4.

Sophomore guard Jillian Samuels, senior post Janielle Dodds and senior forward Sharee Shepherd joined Wills with double-figure scoring totals, tallying 13, 11 and 10 points, respectively. Wills reached double figures for the fifth time in seven games.

The Ponies also put the clamps on UNT's top two scorers, limiting forward Amber Jackson to 10 points on 5-of-14 shooting, and holding guard Jo Hall to nine points on just 2-of-11 shooting.

The Ponies return home for a pair of home games this week, hosting Coppin (Md.) State at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 6, and hosting Texas-Arlington at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8. For a complete schedule and ticket information, log on to SMUMustangs.com or call 214-SMU-GAME.
