ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Olivia Olson had season highs of 21 points and 11 rebounds to help No. 6 Michigan rout Central Michigan 82-40 on Wednesday night.
Olson scored 12 points and fellow sophomore guard Mila Holloway added nine of her 16 points during a third quarter that saw the Wolverines (7-1) stretch an 11-point halftime lead to 59-32. Michigan turned it into a rout by outscoring the Chippewas 23-8 in the fourth quarter.
Ayanna-Sarai Darrington led Central Michigan (5-3) with 11 points and five rebounds.
Syla Swords scored 11 points and Ashley Sofikanich added 10 for Michigan, which entered the game as the nation’s fifth highest-scoring team at 92.7 points per game. Michigan outrebounded Central Michigan 58-33 margin and outscored the Chippewas 40-20 in the paint.
Early on, the Wolverines were on pace to eclipse the 100-point mark for the fourth time in eight games, leading 25–9 after one quarter, before their offense temporarily stalled.
Central Michigan took advantage of a sloppy second quarter, outscoring Michigan 12–7 as the Wolverines made 2 of 11 shots with eight turnovers, trimming the halftime margin to 32–21.
Michigan dominated early, opening with a 12–0 run and limiting Central Michigan to two shots in the first 4:43 while recording three steals and forcing six turnovers.
The Chippewas of the Mid-American Conference were seeking consecutive wins over Big Ten opponents after beating Purdue 57-55.
