The University of Michigan women's basketball team had three players in double figures, led by 13 points from seniors Carly Benson (Carney, Mich./Carney-Nadeau Public School) and Melinda Queen (Oak Forest, Ill./Carl Sandburg) in a 70-53 loss at Purdue on Thursday night (Feb. 26) in Mackey Arena. Junior center Krista Phillips (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan/Aden Bowman Collegiate) posted U-M's first double-double of the season with 10 points and a season-high 11 rebounds to lead the Wolverines on the glass.

The Boilermakers opened up a decisive 34-21 first-half lead, led by the play of senior Danielle Campbell, who was 5-of-6 from the floor and 3-of-4 from the charity stripe in the first frame. Campbell ended the game with a game-high 18 points.

Purdue used a 25-7 run, which spanned over seven minutes and two halves, to jump out to a 50-28 lead -- its largest of the game -- at the 12:57 mark of the second half and never looked back, maintaining a double-figure lead for the remainder of the contest. U-M used a 13-4 run over the final five minutes of action but could not slow Purdue, which picked up its fifth consecutive victory.
