Michigan wins WNIT opener
By LELAND MITCHINSON
Daily Sports Writer
In its first action in nearly two
weeks, the Michigan women’s
basketball
team
needed
time to get
back into the rhythm of things.
But after a lackluster first half in
the Wolverines’ WNIT opener
Wednesday against Wright State,
they found their usual high-
scoring form and beat the Raiders
handily, 81-53.
Michigan (9-9 Big Ten, 18-13
overall)
struggled
with
foul
trouble all season, and it looked
like that wouldn’t change for
the start of postseason play.
The Wolverines committed six
team fouls in the first quarter,
including two from senior guard
Madison Ristovski, who made a
record-tying 133rd appearance
for Michigan and moved into 10th
place on the program’s career
made 3-pointers list. However,
Michigan
kept
things
under
control the rest of the game,
committing just four fouls.
Much of the game flow in the
first half depended on the post
players from each team. The
Wolverines began their offensive
attack with a concentrated effort
to get the ball to freshman center
Hallie Thome in the post, but it
was largely unsuccessful due to
the back-side help from Wright
State (12-6 Horizon League, 24-11
overall) that took away the lob
pass opportunities for Michigan.
“I think we talked about ‘Hey,
if they’re fronting her and there
is help from the backside, let’s
not throw her the ball. And if we
do throw her the ball, we’re just
trying to get the defense to sink in,
so let’s throw it in and kick it out,’
” said Michigan coach Kim Barnes
Arico. “I thought we did a much
better job of that in the second
half, making extra passes and
then our shots were open shots.”
The primary matchup in the
post pitted Thome against a fellow
6-foot-5 center, Wright State’s
Richelle van der Keijl, who did
her best to limit the freshman. For
the most part, Keijl was successful
and held Thome to three first-half
points. Keijl finished the game
with a double-double, scoring 19
points and collecting 10 boards.
Though
the
Wolverines’
top two scorers, Thome and
sophomore
guard
Katelynn
Flaherty, struggled to get things
going in the first half, the rest
of the team picked up the slack.
Thome and Flaherty combined for
10 points, but Michigan still went
into halftime with a 37-32 lead.
“I think we all have the ability
to step up when others are not
at their best or are struggling a
little bit,” said junior guard Siera
Thompson. “I think all our guards
and all our posts have the ability
to do that. I just try to do whatever
is needed of me.”
Thompson, usually the player
charged with getting the ball in
the hands of the scorers, led the
team with 13 first-half points.
Junior guard Danielle Williams
scored a career-high 10 points in
the opening frame and finished 12
total in just her third start of the
season.
“I was just excited to play
again,” Williams said. “I feel like
every day is exciting when it’s
gameday. My teammates and my
coaches instill a lot of confidence
in me and they were finding me.”
Added Barnes Arico: “I think
she has a great knowledge, but she
plays incredibly hard and has a
great toughness about her, and she
showed that this week in practice.”
Michigan showed just how
dangerous it can be coming out
of
halftime.
The
Wolverines
outscored Wright State, 23-7, in
the third quater and jumped to a
60-39 lead with one frame to play.
With the team’s turnaround
came a personal turnaround for
Flaherty, who finished the game
with a team-high 22 points.
Thompson finished with 19 points,
five rebounds and six assists.
Michigan cruised through the
fourth quarter to kickstart its
postseason run with a victory.
The Wolverines will look to keep
the momentum going when they
play their WNIT second-round
game against either Bucknell or
Akron on Saturday.

‘M’ dominates
By TED JANES
Daily Sports Writer
Thursday,
the
Michigan
women’s basketball team won by
28 points, a benchmark it hasn’t
accomplished since Dec. 19.
Against Wright State in the
first round of the Women’s
National Invitation Tournament,
the Wolverines (9-9 Big Ten,
18-13 overall) cruised to victory,
dominating in the second half en
route to an 81-53 win.
It has been a while since the
Wolverines looked this good,
but it has also been a while since
they’ve played a team that knew
this little about them.
“Our players were surprised
at times that they were open for
shots — so open — whereas our
conference
opponents
really
test those shots and really know
what we do inside and out and
take those things away,” said
Michigan coach Kim Barnes
Arico. “Tonight, we had some
really good looks when we
executed
our
stuff,
because
they didn’t have a ton of time to
prepare for us.”
Unlike opponents such as
Iowa, which has seen Michigan
three times already this season,
the Raiders had just four days
to prepare after falling in the
Horizon
League
Women’s
Basketball
Tournament
semifinal.
Wright
State
would
have
known that sophomore guard
Katelynn Flaherty is as good
as advertised, and that 6-foot-5
freshman center Hallie Thome is
tough to stop in the post. But the
Raiders didn’t know about junior
guard Siera Thompson, junior
guard
Danielle
Williams
or
senior guard Madison Ristovski,
who combined for 39 points
Thursday.
While the bracket was just
released Monday, the Wolverines
had at least ample time to rest,
having last played in the Big Ten
Tournament on March 3.
In fact, the Wolverines hadn’t
played in so long they actually
felt like it was the preseason
again. It reminded them of a time
before they had to meet Big Ten
opponents, a time when Michigan
rolled past defenses in a similar
fashion to the way it did Thursday.
“They felt like tonight was the
first game of the year,” Barnes
Arico said. “I think that’s an
incredible feeling, because they
had that drive, that passion, that
energy level back. They were
rested and ready to go.”
Added Thompson: “It had
the first game jitters, I think
that’s why we came out off, kind
of rusty, but it was definitely
exciting to get out there.”
Thompson scored 19 points
along with five rebounds and six
assists, and provided Michigan
with
consistent
scoring
throughout the night. But as
Thompson mentioned, the rest of
the team was not so hot getting
out of the gate.
Michigan trailed by two points
at the end of the first quarter, as
Wright State took advantage of a
lackluster, ugly performance in
the opening 10 minutes.
But as the game went on,
Michigan took control against
the inferior opponent — shooting
57 percent in the second half
compared to 35 in the first — and
ended the Raiders’ season.
Wolverines pound
Eastern Michigan
By ORION SANG
Daily Sports Writer
Sara Driesenga lined up in the
circle.
Eastern Michigan’s leadoff hitter
dug
into
her
stance,
the
infield
readied themselves and the fifth-
year senior right-hander uncorked
the first pitch of the game.
Softball was back in Ann Arbor.
No. 2 Michigan (21-2 overall)
played its first home game of the
season Wednesday, notching a
14-1 run-rule victory over Eastern
Michigan backed by its potent
offense and a strong performance
from Driesenga.
“I thought we were locked
in,” said Michigan coach Carol
Hutchins. “Honestly, the first
day at home is sometimes very
distracting. We’ve been on the road
(for) 22 games. These kids have not
had a day where they have had a
home routine, where they go to
class (and) ride the MGoBlue bus.
It’s a change in format.”
Michigan began its offensive
onslaught early, scoring three runs
in the first inning. After senior
second baseman Sierra Romero and
junior left fielder Kelly Christner
were both walked, senior right
fielder Kelsey Susalla cleared the
bases with a three-run home run.
Eastern Michigan got one run
back in the second inning, when
right fielder Michelle Kriegshauser
blasted a pitch onto the adjacent
baseball field.
But the Wolverines came right
back in the bottom of the inning.
Freshman
infielder
Faith
Canfield — who started at second
with Abby Ramirez out due to
a sprained ankle — was hit by a
pitch, senior centerfielder Sierra
Lawrence walked and Romero
singled up the middle to bring
Canfield home.
If not for good defense by the
Eagles, the Wolverines could’ve
broken the game open that same
inning. After a Christner walk
loaded the bases, Susalla ripped a
ball toward first base. But Eagles
first baseman Olivia Logan was up
to the task, corralling the ball to get
the force out. Though a Michigan
run crossed home plate, Eastern
Michigan
escaped
the
inning
having given up just two runs.
In the third inning, though,
Michigan
scored
four
more
runs to increase its lead to eight.
Junior third baseman Lindsey
Montemarano crushed a two-run
homer over the left-center-field
fence, while Lawrence and Romero
also crossed the plate in the inning.
With Michigan cruising, the
fourth inning was much of the
same.
Driesenga gave up a leadoff
double, but was able to escape the
inning unscathed. Montemarano
continued her production in the
bottom of the inning, when she hit
a long double to add another run
to Michigan’s lead. Canfield got in
on the action in the fourth as well,
hitting a three-run shot to left field
for her first career homer.
Driesenga returned to the circle
for the fifth inning, inducing three
quick outs to clinch the 14-1 run-
rule victory.
The right-hander’s win pushed
her record to 11-0 and continued a
streak of impressive outings. She
gave up just two hits on the day,
while striking out five.
Driesenga was quick to credit
her teammates when asked what
was critical to her success.
“Trusting
myself,
trusting
whatever pitch is called, trusting
the defense, and even trusting the
offense that they’re going to score
runs,” Driesenga said. “Trust in
general is all-encompassing.”
It was the type of complete
performance that Hutchins is
looking for from her team.
“It was great that we got a lot
of runs,” Hutchins said. “But I
thought
everybody
contributed
and did their part. Sara (Driesenga)
did a fantastic job. Gave up the
early home run but (it) didn’t faze
her. She was a great leader for
everybody, and it was fun to get all
the young kids in.”
