Janelle Cooper was running out of time.

The Michigan senior knew that if her Wolverines didn't beat Michigan State this year, she'd have to leave school having never beaten the program's biggest rival.

She doesn't have to worry anymore.

Cooper had 12 points and eight rebounds to help Michigan beat Michigan State 64-55 on Sunday, ending the Wolverines' nine-game losing streak to the Spartans.

"Ever since I've been here, this has been what I wanted," she said. "We talked about it as freshmen and as sophomores and as juniors, and this year, we knew it was our last chance."

Detroit News:

Krista Clement couldn't stop smiling as she ran off the Crisler Arena floor.

Clement had just helped Michigan defeat Michigan State, 64-55, before a record crowd of 5,596 on Sunday afternoon to end the Wolverines' nine-game losing streak in the rivalry.

"I'm going to have a smile for a long time," said Clement, Michigan's first four-year captain. "We've been getting popped by them for a long time. It's our biggest win so far and we had a great crowd. I'm hoping it's not going to be our biggest win, though."

Popped? Yes, Clement had been on the wrong end of 18-, 26-, 33-, 43- and 10-point losses during her previous three years against the Spartans.

In her final home game in the rivalry, Clement contributed 13 points and three assists and just two turnovers in 39 minutes. She made half of six 3-point shots.
