On By Littum

Ann Arbor – Oregon should have taken the last shot in the third quarter, but Michigan had other thoughts. Olivia Olson deflected a passport that went directly to Te’yala Delfosse who caught the ball and shot in a movement. She could have gathered, but such patience turned out to be unnecessary. The long 3 knocked in just as the buzzer soundedpushing Michigan’s lead to 22.

Michigan ended a two-match sliding in spectacular way and jumped out of Oregon 80-48 at the Crisler Center on Sunday afternoon.

In a common theme this season, a few beginners led the way. Olivia Olson had 18 points (on 7 of 10 shoots) and 10 rebounds for her second double-double and Mila Holloway added 19 points.

Michigan drew 2-0, but never again. Late in the first quarter, Brooke Quarles-Daniels (10 points) had a nice move for a layup before Holloway captured a care at Midcourt and coasted for a bucket to give Michigan a 12-point lead.

The scoring slowed in the second quarter-Michigan won the 13-9-but Hobbs ‘Deep 3 touched nothing but the net and pushed Wolverines’ lead to 16. They led 48-32 in half.
