ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Despite a season-high 28 points from senior forward Karoline Striplin, Indiana couldn't hang on as it fell 70-67 to Michigan at Crisler Center on Wednesday night.

KEY MOMENTS

Fueled by six points from junior guard Lexus Bargesser, the Hoosiers took an early 13-8 lead at the media timeout in the first quarter. Michigan went on a 7-0 run out of the break before Striplin tied the game back up at 15-all with just over a minute to go.
The tie carried over into the second quarter as Indiana found some separation on a Moore-McNeil and-1 and a Parrish score at the rim to take its largest lead at five, 24-19.
Michigan came back after a called timeout on a 5-0 run of their own as the game was tied again with 4:20 remaining. Moore-McNeil got the Hoosiers on the board last in the frame as her attack at the rim put them ahead 29-27 at the break.
Breaking a four-plus minute scoring drought, Moore-McNeil got the Hoosiers trending in the right direction as it finished the third off on a 11-0 run to take a 46-39 lead. The third was highlighted by 10 points from senior forward Karoline Striplin.
In a high scoring fourth quarter, both teams combine to score 52 points as Indiana led by as many as seven early on. The lead was in IU's favor for much of the fourth quarter but the Wolverines would tie the game up with 1:48 remaining. Falling behind by three, Striplin pulled IU back within one on two occasions with under the minute mark.
Bonus shots put UM back in the lead by three with 19 ticks left as Parrish finished underneath to come within one again with eight seconds to go but IU would get no closer.
