Q2 opened with CLW driving solidly under the hoop and making a beautiful pass out to a Wolverine standing all by her lonesome in the key. This led to fast break but the defense was down on it and the player blew the lay up. This led to a Lauren semi-hook in the lane and next time to Kiki driving for a lay up then a Kiki feed to Lauren for a UCLA lead and a Kneepkens tough one from underneath and UM called a TO now trailing 23-19, an eight point swing from the end of Q1. UM's quickness will keep them competitive though - Bruins are going to have to keep their composure and remain alert to win this one later on.
UCLA 33, Michigan 30 at the half.
Michigan's quick hands - and a bit of a focus lapse on the women in blue - led to 5 UCLA turnovers in that quarter. We now have 9 for the game to UM's 5.
We are out-shooting UM 47% to 35%. RBs are 22-18 UCLA and points in the paint are 22-16 UCLA.
Michigan has xlnt quickness but UCLA has the height and is a better shooting team.
UCLA leaders are Kneepkens 10 (high for the game - UM's Holloway has 9), Lauren with 8 and Jaquez with 7. Lauren also leads the team in RBs with 7 and in Assists with 3.
Three Bruins each have 2 fouls: CLW, Dugalic and Kneepkens
