Laksa, No. 23 South Florida women beat SMU 52-51
Maria Jespersen, the Bulls' next highest scorer, had seven points and 13 rebounds.
Ariadna Pujol's jumper with 1:52 to go snapped USF's five minute, 55 second scoring drought and put the Bulls (16-3, 5-1 American Athletic Conference) in front for good, 50-49. After SMU missed a 3, Laksa and Alicia Froling traded a pair of free throws to cap the scoring with 40 seconds left. USF committed a turnover, but McKenzie Adams missed a potential winning 3-pointer with 3 seconds remaining.
The Mustangs (11-9, 2-5) trailed for just 24 seconds in the third quarter, but Laksa hit a 3 and then a layup to open the fourth to give USF a three-point lead. Dai'ja Thomas and Froling sandwiched jumpers around another bucket by Laksa to make it 48-47 with 6:34 left but the teams combined to miss 11 shots in a row before a layup by Stephanie Collins put SMU up by one.
