Michigan women's basketball put together a truly dominating performance, routing Vince Lombardi's alma mater, Fordham University, 98-55. Despite having junior Kelly Helvey sidelined with an injury, the entirely sophomore and freshman Wolverines looked great on both offense and defense.

Some random highlights include: 60 percent overall field goal shooting and the same percentage from three point distance, 29 forced turnovers, and seven players in double digits in scoring. Here the honor roll included: Stephany Skrba with 16, Jessica Minnfield with 15, Krista Clement and Janelle Cooper with 14 each, Carly Benson with 12, Ta'Shia Walker with 11, and Katie Dierdorf with 10.

Clement led in assists with six, Ashley Jones had five, and Minnfield had four.

Skrba was the top rebounder with eight and Benson had five steals.

This was just what the Wolverine Women needed after a tough loss at Washington and the loss of their most experienced player. The team came together very well and picked up the slack for Kelly Helvey, who I am sure will be back soon knowing what a tough and determined person she is.

Next up is a home game against Nebraska, in which Michigan will have the opportunity to win their sixth game of 2005-06, which would be one more than the 2004-05 team managed. This is a program on the rise and the rest of the college basketball world needs to look out for Cheryl's Crew.
