ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) --- Olivia Olson had 26 points, seven rebounds and five
assists to lead No. 6 Michigan past Purdue 104-56 on Sunday.
Syla Swords added 16 points and Mila Holloway 13 for the Wolverines (8-1, 1-0
Big Ten). It was their fifth time in nine games that the three sophomore guards
have all reached double-figure points.
Hila Karsh, Kiki Smith, Tara Daye and Nya Smith all scored 9 points for Purdue
(5-4, 0-1), which is unbeaten at home but winless away from Mackey Arena.
The Wolverines started hot, making 13 of their first 14 shots and finishing the
opening quarter with a 33-16 lead. The only miss during that stretch was
rebounded by Te'yala Delfosse (13 points) and resulted in a second-chance
basket by Kendall Dudley (10 points).
Olson scored 13 of her points in the second quarter as the Wolverines extended
their lead to 56-26 by halftime.
Macy Brown scored all seven of her points in the second half and drew one of
the loudest cheers of the night from the Crisler Center crowd when her free
throw with 1:48 remaining pushed the Wolverines to the 100-point mark for the
fourth time this season.
Michigan made 33 of 56 shots, 33 of 45 free throws, and forced 23 Purdue
turnovers that resulted in a 25-2 points-off-turnovers advantage.
