"It took us a minute to settle, but then once we did, I think our confidence exploded," Michigan head coach Kim Barnes Arico said. "We just were really disruptive on the defensive end, which we pride ourselves on being, and that allowed the floodgates to open on offense. " The Cardinals started the game scoring the game's first eight points.
They took a 15-9 lead over Michigan into the second quarter. Elif Istanbulluoglu and Iamri Berry both have five points for the Cardinals. In the second quarter, Michigan got it going with Te'Yala Delfosse leading the way with eight points in the quarter.
