LUBBOCK, Texas (SMU)-- The SMU women's basketball season ended Monday night with a 61-49 loss at Texas Tech in the second round of the WNIT in the United Supermarkets Arena.

SMU scored 13 unanswered points to start the second half on the way to outscoring Texas Tech 18-12 in the quarter. Wilkinson opened the half with an and-one layup followed by back-to-back buckets from Reagan Bradley. A pair of Embry free throws gave the Mustangs their first lead since the first quarter.
