More on the Northestern Game

Jessica Minnfield (19 points/6 rebounds) and Carly Benson (16 points/7 rebounds) had big games for Michigan. The team really struggled with their shooting (27.9% for the game, 14.3% from 3pt range), but offensive rebounds, Northwestern turnovers (Michigan had 16 more shots than Northwestern) and free throw shooting down the stretch made the difference.

From the Michigan Daily:

Just awful.

Michigan was awful. Northwestern was awful.

But the result was acceptable.

Despite a terrible performance by both teams, the Michigan women's basketball team picked up its second conference road win of the season, beating Northwestern, 47-40.

Michigan won the game despite shooting an abysmal 27.9% from the court and worse 14.8% from beyond the three-point line.

"We just were awful shooting from the arc," Michigan coach Kevin Borseth said. "Just not good at all. It was terrible - unbelievably terrible."
