The SMU women's basketball program continues its inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) by hosting UT Arlington on Friday at 7 pm CT inside Moody Coliseum. Fans can watch the game on ACCNX or listen on the radio through the SMU Mobile App.

The star guard has scored over 20 points in four of the team's seven games this season. She also leads the ACC in four other statistical categories.

The ACC has posted 89 victories through the non-conference portion of the regular season, as eight of the league's 18 teams currently hold a positive scoring margin above 20.0 points. Five ACC teams are ranked in the latest Associated Press (AP) Poll, as Notre Dame leads the way, remaining at No. 3 following its perfect 5-0 start.
