Minnesota 52, Michigan 46

A better road effort than Penn State & Ohio State, but the results were still a loss. Michigan led much of the game, but was unable to hold on and win. Poor shooting once again spelled trouble (34.8% in the 2nd half, 14% from 3pt range). Michigan was led by 15 points from Veronica Hicks and 10 from Carly Benson.

The University of Michigan women's basketball team built a 12-point lead in the first half at Minnesota but could not withstand a strong second half by the Golden Gophers, falling 52-46 Sunday afternoon (Jan. 18) in Williams Arena. Veronica Hicks (Chicago, Ill./Thornwood HS) and Carly Benson (Carney, Mich./Carney-Nadeau Public School) led the way for Michigan with 15 and 10 points, respectively, while Stephany Skrba (Toronto, Ontario/Langstaff Secondary School) had a game-high five steals and was the Wolverines' top rebounder with six.

Michigan led by as many as 12 points in the first half before taking a 28-20 advantage into the halftime break. The Wolverines held the lead throughout most of the second half and were up 42-41 with 5:38 to play, but Minnesota outscored Michigan 11-4 in the game's final 5:30 and 32-18 overall during the second period to send Michigan to its third straight loss.
