ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Twelve different players recorded goals to lift the University of Michigan women's lacrosse team to its second win of the season, 21-11, over Detroit on Wednesday (March 15) inside Oosterbaan Field House. U-M's 21 goals are second all-time for goals scored in a single game.

Jess Angerman led all Michigan point-getters with a career-high seven points, on three goals and four assists. Her three goals helped her become the second U-M player to reach 100 career goals, as Kim Coughlan hit the milestone in the last game versus Canisius. Angerman recorded her fourth hat trick of the season and has now tallied 24 points, on 16 goals and eight assists, in the last five games. Coughlan scored a team-high and season-high four goals in the win, giving her a total of 105 career goals. Anna Schueler tallied two goals, bringing her within one goal of joining Coughlan and Angerman in the century club with 99 in her career.

Michigan pulled in a program-record 23 draw controls, en route to winning the battle, 23-12. Gabby Burns led the Maize and Blue with a career-high six draw controls, while Coughlan and Schueler each grabbed four.

Michigan opened the game on a 7-0 run, with both of Schueler's goals coming in the first four minutes of play. Bianca Brueckner, who missed the first eight games of the season due to injury, returned to action tonight, scoring U-M's seventh goal of the run to give the Wolverines a 7-0 advantage at 21:57.

Detroit got on the board at the 19:45 mark to make it 7-1. Angerman helped U-M get back on track, assisting on Michigan's next goal from Kelly Schlansker and then scoring her second of the game and 100th of her career with 17:41 left in the first half. The Titans outscored the Wolverines 4-2 in the final 15 minutes of the opening stanza to cut U-M's lead to six, 11-5, at halftime. Grace Hemmer scored her first career goal, and Coughlan completed her third hat trick of the season during that stretch.

Detroit's Lexie Kinmond recorded two goals and one assist in the first half, but Madison Richardson and Michigan's defense held her to just one goal in the second half.

The Titans notched the first goal of the second half with less than a minute off the clock, but Angerman fed Sophie duPhily for the score, and then Natalie Carti added another four minutes later to make it a 13-6 game in Michigan's favor.

Several more Wolverines came off the bench in the second half, making their first appearances of the season and scored their first career goals. Megan Schulte saw quality minutes in the second half, scoring her first career goal at the 19:04 mark. Schulte's goal sparked an 8-1 run that featured Brueckner, Carti and Hemmer's second goals of the day and Lilly Grass' first career goal. Molly Garrett capped the run on Hemmer's first career assist to give the Wolverines their largest lead of the day, 21-8.

Detroit ended the game with three unanswered goals to slightly close the gap and make it 21-11 at the final buzzer. Overall, 31 players saw game action in tonight's win. Freshmen Quinn Melidona and Sydney Whitaker made their career debuts, with Whitaker recording two draw controls.
