All nine SMU players scored for the third time this season. Mallory Singleton did it all for SMU, posting a career-high seven assists to go with six points and five rebounds. Raven Short led the team with nine rebounds and added nine points.

Over all, the Lady Mustangs out-rebounded the Lady Lions 51-39. SMU also converted 21 Southeastern turnovers into 25 points.
