DALLAS (SMU) - SMU rallied to beat North Dakota, 66-51, behind a strong second-half on Monday night inside Moody Coliseum. 
 
Johnasia Cash recorded a career high 16 rebounds, and chipped in 18 points to lead the Mustangs in a stellar effort on the glass. The Mustangs broke the SMU Moody Coliseum rebounding record by hauling in 64 boards in the win. SMU brought in 29 offensive boards, nearly half of their total on Monday night.
 
North Dakota (7-3) started with an early edge, leading the Mustangs 15-11 after one frame of action. SMU (4-4) held the Fighting Hawks without a basket for 5:08 to start the second, fighting its way back from the 9-point deficit that they faced early in the second period, but a couple of late 3-pointers allowed UND take a 10-point lead into the half. 
 
The Mustangs exploded on both ends of the floor in the second half. They started the half by  cutting the Hawks' lead to 2 points before a Kayla White and-1 on the offensive end put SMU ahead for the first time since the opening minutes. The SMU defense held North Dakota scoreless for the first 5:10 of the half and the teams were all square at 41 heading into the final period. 
 
It was all Mustangs in the fourth. The team held UND to 10 points on 13 percent shooting in the fourth. SMU put up 25 points in the period, knocking down late free throws to ice the victory.
 
Kayla White came one rebound short of a double-double as she finished with 22 points and 9 boards, a new career best. It was the sophomore's second straight 20-point night. Reagan Bradley chipped in a career-high nine boards, while also dishing seven assists. 
 
Amber Bacon recorded her sixth multi-steal game of the season, the sophomore entered the night ranked sixth in the American in steals.
 
The Mustangs will enjoy a 10-day break, but they'll be back in Moody on Dec. 19 when they play host to UTEP at 5 p.m.
