Women's Basketball Finishes Exhibition Slate With 87-32 Loss At Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Daemen University women's basketball team played their second and final exhibition game of the season on the road taking on #25 ranked Michigan Wolverines at the Crisler Center on Saturday afternoon. The Wildcats fell to Michigan 87-32. Michigan forward Emily Kiser led all shooters today, racking up 18 points for the Wolverines.

Daemen shot 22-percent from the field (11-of-51) and 35-percent from beyond the three (6-of-17). Michigan shot 50-percent from the field (30-of-60), and 41-percent from beyond the arc (9-of-22).
 
Today's game was the second of two exhibition games against Division I opponents for the Wildcats. Daemen fell 61-51 against the University at Buffalo Bulls last Sunday, Oct. 30.
 
IMPACT PLAYERS
  • Junior guard Alahna Paige (Rochester, N.Y.) led all Daemen shooters from the first half, accruing nine of Daemen's 18 points, all coming on three-balls, through the first two quarters. Paige finished with 11 points, one rebound and an assist.
  • Junior forward Natalie Angeletti (Panama, N.Y.) finished with a team-high seven rebounds in 28 minutes, and added six points, a steal and a block on the day.
  • It was a homecoming to the state of Michigan for Daemen fifth-year Mickayla Ivy (Grand Rapids, Mich.) this afternoon. The 5-10 forward pulled down two defensive rebounds, and added three points, two assists, a steal and two blocks.
     
GAME NOTES
  • The Wildcats led twice in the first quarter, taking an 8-4 lead over the Wolverines after two three-pointers by Paige. Daemen trailed 25-11 after the first quarter.
  • Michigan went on a 24-point run from midway through the first quarter until midway through the second quarter. The Wolverines led 45-18 at the half.
