The Michigan women’s basketball team thought it would get some open perimeter looks against Indiana’s zone defense on Wednesday night.

The Wolverines were right. And they hit a season-high 13 shots from 3-point range in an 88-76 win at Crisler Arena.

Junior Carmen Reynolds made 5 of 7 shots from behind the arc on her way to a team-high 19 points and sophomore Kate Thompson, who made 4 of 5 long-distance attempts, finished with 18 points.

“We were able to pretty much, as a team, get whatever shot we wanted to it felt like,” Reynolds said. “We were good about passing on the perimeter. Everyone was getting shots. Everything was open, it felt like.”

All five of Michigan’s starters reached double-digit scoring. Sophomore center Rachel Sheffer scored all 15 of her points from the free-throw line while guards Courtney Boylan and Veronica Hicks contributed 14 and 11 points, respectively.

Hicks led the team with eight rebounds and went 3 of 6 from 3-point range herself. As a team, the Wolverines made 13 of 26 shots from behind the arc.

Michigan (16-10, 9-5) moved into a third-place tie in the Big Ten with Wisconsin (14-12, 9-5), which lost to Iowa on Wednesday night.

The Wolverines had their best offensive first half of the season, taking a 45-30 lead into halftime.

Indiana used a 19-3 run late in the second half to cut that advantage to two points, 65-63, with 7:10 remaining. But a Thompson 3-pointer ended that run and the Hoosiers wouldn’t threaten again.

"The surge to get back into the game was great, but we dug ourselves into a hole," Indiana coach Felisha Legette-Jack said. "We knew what they were going to do, they are a very good 3-point shooting team and our defense was just not there.”

Michigan coach Kevin Borseth said he expected Indiana to make a run, like they have against his Wolverines in the past. “Every time we play these guys, it’s almost a mirror image of what you just saw. The last two times we played them and they did that, they beat us,” Borseth said. “The difference was, in those games we threw the ball away. In this one we didn’t. In this one we came back and answered.”

Jori Davis scored a game-high 27 points for the Hoosiers (9-18, 3-12).
