UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) --- Te'Yala Delfosse came off the bench to score a
career-high 21 points and No. 6 Michigan rolled past Syracuse 81-55 on Sunday
in the Hall of Fame Women's Showcase at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Olivia Olson finished with 18 points, eight rebounds and three assists for
Michigan (5-1), which had 20 offensive rebounds and outrebounded the Orange
46-32.
Delfosse scored five consecutive points as Michigan had the final 11 points in
the first quarter. Syracuse pulled within 12 after a basket by Shy Hawkins.
Syla Swords answered with a 3-pointer and assisted on a Delfosse basket to give
the Wolverines a 38-21 lead at halftime.
Olson scored to give Michigan its first 20-point lead with 8:12 remaining in
the third quarter. Mila Holloway followed with a 3-pointer. Syracuse had 13
offensive rebounds in the second half but couldn't keep Michigan from pulling
away and improving to 6-0 against Syracuse.
Syracuse's Laila Phelia, who led the Orange with 13 points, played her first
three seasons at Michigan. She was the leading scorer for the Wolverines during
the 2023-24 season and averaged 14.1 points in 88 career games at Michigan.
Uche Izoje had 10 points and 10 rebounds and Dominique Darius added 10 points
for Syracuse (5-1).
Syracuse was ranked in the top 10 in offensive rebounds per game coming into
the game, but Michigan held a 14-3 advantage in the first half.
Michigan, which on Friday played with the highest ranking in program history,
threw a scare into top-ranked UConn before falling 72-69 despite 29 points and
eight 3-pointers from Swords.
