DALLAS (SMU) - Senior center Janielle Dodds scored 21 points, and three other Mustangs scored in double figures, to lead the SMU women's basketball team to an 85-74 win over the visiting Houston Cougars Saturday afternoon at Moody Coliseum.
The victory boosted the Mustangs - who now have won seven games in a row - to 21-6 on the year, including 11-3 in Conference USA games. The 21 regular-season victories are the most in school history, and the Mustangs tied a school record (set in the 1997-98 season) by going 15 games over .500.
Saturday's victory marked the 10th game this season in which Dodds scored 20 or more points, and raised her career scoring total to 1,772 points. She now needs just 14 points to break Karlin Kennedy's all-time SMU record. She also had nine rebounds, raising her career total to 936. In the process, she passed former SMU star Shasta Smothers-Johnson (933) to move into second place in school history, and now needs 11 rebounds to break Kennedy's career rebounds record.
In addition to Dodds' 21 points, the Mustangs also got 18 points from sophomore forward Delisha Wills, 17 from sophomore guard Jillian Samuels and 14 from senior forward Sharee Shepherd. Dodds and Wills also led the Mustangs with nine rebounds apiece.
Samuels hit three-of-five three-pointers in the game, raising her season total to 61 and making her just the second player in SMU history to hit more than 60 shots from long range. Andrea Cossey hit 68 three-pointers twice: in the 2001-02 season and the 2002-03 seasons.
Houston's fifth consecutive loss - a streak that began with a home loss to SMU Feb. 9 - dropped the Cougars to 14-14 overall, 8-6 in C-USA games.
The Mustangs now head out on the road to face UTEP at 7 p.m. Thursday night and Tulane at 5 p.m. Saturday in games that can be heard on KKGM (1630 AM) and seen on CSTV. For a complete schedule, log on to SMUMustangs.com.
