DALLAS (SMU) - Three Mustangs reached double-figures in points, but the Mustangs struggled to find enough consistent offense on Wednesday night in Moody Coliseum, falling to UCF 60-42.

Seniors McKenzie Adams and Kiara Perry led the way in the points column for SMU, scoring 14 and 12 points, respectively. Fellow senior Mikayla Reese tallied a season-high 10 points to join them in double-digits. 

Junior Dai'ja Thomas was very active through the game for the Mustangs as well, grabbing a game-high nine rebounds while sending back a team-high three shots. Meanwhile, freshman Ariana Whitfield tied her career-high in assists with five. 

Turnovers hampered the Mustangs throughout the night, losing possession 21 times. Those turnovers led directly to 23 of the Knights' points. That has been a calling card for the Knights all season, as they entered the game averaging 11 steals per game. SMU was able to get some possessions back on the offensive glass with 19 offensive rebounds, but it wasn't enough to overcome the miscues.

After again finishing with more rebounds, SMU has now won the rebound battle in 12-of-15 games this season. 

Despite that, the Mustangs went to halftime with a manageable seven-point deficit. However, SMU could never really find enough of an offensive spark to mount a comeback. 

The Mustangs travel to Temple on Sunday for their first road conference game of the season. The game tips off at 11 a.m.
