Ohio State 52 Michigan 44

It was a close game most of the way, but like several other games this season the Wolverines couldn't quite get the job done down the stretch. Courtney Boylan and Melinda Queen led the team with 10 points each, but it wasn't enough for Michigan to pull another upset. 2-20 shooting from 3 point range didn't help matters, nor did Ohio State getting 20 free throw attempts in the second half, compared to none for the Wolverines.
