“The biggest thing is to just keep getting our shots and being confident to take those shots,” Phelia said. It may have been rust from the first game of the season, but the junior guard said the team is going to keep shooting. Phelia wasn’t thrilled with all the shots she missed, and the team as a whole didn’t shoot super well from three, making only six of their 20 attempts. You’d like to see her get a little more efficient from the field, but Michigan did the majority of their scoring when she was on the floor. Much like Leigha Brown last season, Phelia has become the go-to scorer when the Wolverines need a bucket. She went on a bit of a dry spell in the second quarter, but picked things up in the second half and helped the Wolverines keep a 6-10 point lead for most of this one. Laila Phelia was the catalyst for the Michigan offense in this one, tying her career-high 25 points while shooting 10/25 from the field and collecting seven rebounds. The Michigan women’s basketball team got their season started off with a victory, beating Purdue Fort Wayne at Crisler Center, 80-61.
