WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The No. 25-ranked University of Michigan women's basketball team led wire-to-wire to snap a three-game losing streak, knocking off Purdue 87-60 on Saturday afternoon (Jan. 11) at Mackey Arena.
The Wolverines had three players in double figures, highlighted by Mila Holloway's 21 points, three boards, three assists and four steals.

Eleven Wolverines found the scoring column as Michigan shot 45.9 percent from the floor and hit 10 triples.
