No. 14 Michigan Routs No. 18 Notre Dame 93–54, Avenging March Exit

Michigan’s targeted defense exposed Notre Dame’s reliance on Hannah Hidalgo.

Overview

  • Olivia Olson led a balanced Michigan effort with 20 points as the Wolverines controlled the game wire to wire at Detroit’s Wayne State Fieldhouse in the Shamrock Classic.
  • Hannah Hidalgo, three days after a 44-point, 16-steal game, was held to 12 points on 4-for-21 shooting with seven turnovers under a game plan that shaded and loaded to her.
  • Michigan dominated the glass 50–28 and owned second-chance points 19–5 and points in the paint 50–26, underscoring a decisive physical edge.
  • The Wolverines’ bench outscored Notre Dame’s 38–2, highlighting depth that complemented starters Mila Holloway (12), Syla Swords (11) and Ashley Sofilkanich (10).
  • Notre Dame’s 93–54 defeat marked its largest in more than two decades, as Michigan closed with a 16–0 fourth-quarter run and held the Irish to 2-for-22 from three.
