Clash at Moody Coliseum: SMU Mustangs Host Florida Atlantic Owls in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Southern Methodist University Mustangs prepare to welcome the Florida Atlantic Owls to the Moody Coliseum in Dallas, fans are anticipating an exciting game of women's basketball. The upcoming match, scheduled for January 5th, will see the Mustangs aiming to continue their impressive performance streak on their home court.

The Mustangs have shown a strong trend of winning recently. In their last game against the Air Force Falcons, they dominated with a decisive 75-44 victory. Their offensive play was particularly noteworthy; they shot an impressive 61 percent from the field and 71 percent from the free-throw line. Additionally, they were able to capitalize on points in paint with a total of 52 points scored from close range.

Another recent home game saw them secure a win against Sam Houston Bearkats with a score of 69-64. Despite committing more turnovers than usual, they managed to maintain control thanks to their rebounding strength—53 rebounds compared to Bearkats' 40—and shooting efficiency at over half success rate from two-point range.

The team also demonstrated resilience and adaptability when playing away against Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters. They emerged victorious with a scoreline of 69-53 by maintaining solid defense and capitalizing on fast break opportunities which accounted for 17 points.

With these trends in mind, it is clear that SMU has been relying heavily on its shooting accuracy and ability to control rebounds—both offensively and defensively—to outscore opponents. As they face Florida Atlantic Owls at Moody Coliseum—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere which often acts as an additional player due to fan support—the Mustangs will look forward to leveraging these strengths once again.
