Iowa 66 Michigan 61

A tough loss in Iowa City. Michigan was in it the whole game, but couldn't sink the shots at the end. Carly Benson had 22 points and Krista Phillips had 12. Michigan shot well, but a lack of offensive rebounds (only 4) and turnovers (18, to Iowa's 9) probably made the difference.

While it is disappointing, they are learning to play on the road - like the Purdue game, they hung tough and didn't let things get away. After their struggles on the road the previous three seasons, games like this don't seem too bad (at least for now). The official write up at mgoblue.com can be found here.
