Olivia Olson's 28 points help power No. 8 Michigan to an 87-69 win over No. 14 Maryland
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Olivia Olson scored 21 of her game-high 28 points in the first half, and No. 8 Michigan snapped No. 14 Maryland's six-game winning streak with an 87-69 victory in the teams' regular-season finale on Saturday.
Olson, who had a career-high 31 points in an overtime win over Ohio State on Wednesday, added eight rebounds and four assists. Syla Swords had 17 points for Michigan (24-5 overall, 15-3 Big Ten), which completed the program's most successful regular season by leading nearly the entire game.
The Wolverines will be either the second or third seed in next week's Big Ten tournament.
Mila Holloway had 12 points and six assists and Te'Yala Delfosse added 10 points.
Oluchi Okananwa's 19 points topped Maryland (23-7, 11-7). Yarden Garzon added 14 points, while Isimenme Ozzy-Momodu and Addi Mack each scored 12.
Michigan finished the first half on an 11-2 run for a 46-31 halftime lead.
Olson began the run with a three-point play, then made a steal and a bounce pass to Holloway for a layup. Olson hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key, took a charge against Okananwa and completed the outburst with a 3-pointer from the wing.
Olson opened the second half with another 3-pointer and the Wolverines maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way.
Katelynn Flaherty Yates (2014-18), the Wolverines' all-time leading scorer with 2,776 career points, had her No. 3 raised the rafters at halftime.
Up next
Maryland: Will play in the second round of the conference tournament in Indianapolis on Thursday.
Michigan: Has a double-bye in the conference tournament and will begin play in the quarterfinals on Friday.

Miami (FL) QB Carson Beck booed by pro-Indiana crowd at NFL combine
Carson Beck is among the quarterbacks working out at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in an effort to boost his draft stock.
It quickly became apparent that the crowd on-hand in Indianapolis was going to be against the 23-year-old quarterback.
A large contingent of Indiana fans was in attendance for Sunday's workouts at the combine. Beck spent his final collegiate year at Miami (FL), which played Indiana in the national championship game.
Of course, the Hoosiers emerged with a 27-21 victory over the Hurricanes to earn their first-ever national title. One would have thought that would make the Indiana faithful's gripe with Beck dissipate.
Nonetheless, the crowd heartily jeered Beck each time he was shown on camera and every time it was his turn in the rotation to attempt a pass.
Beck seemed unbothered by the treatment, as NFL Network showed the six-year college football veteran smiling as boos rained down on him during the throwing drills.
Beck wasn't the only quarterback to catch the ire of the pro-Indiana crowd on-hand at the combine. Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia – who disparaged Heisman Trophy voters after finishing as the runner-up to Indiana's Fernando Mendoza – was also heartily booed when shown on the big screen at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Pavia will be in the second group of Saturday's quarterback workouts, so it will be interesting to see if he receives the same treatment as Beck throughout his session.

Hall scores again, makes history to lead Red Bulls 1-0 over Revolution
HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Julian Hall scored to lead the New York Red Bulls in a 1-0 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday as the 17-year-old became the youngest player in MLS history to score in each of his club's first two games of the season. Hall headed the goal in the 53rd minute for his MLS-leading third goal of the year. He received a headed assist from 16-year-old Adri Mehmeti. The initial cross came from a 17-year-old Matthew Dos Santos.
It's the second game at the helm of the Red Bulls (2-0-0, 6 points) for former US Men's National Team captain Michael Bradley.
The Red Bulls dominated possession 66 to 34 percent, and 12 shots to five for the Revolution (0-0-2, 0 points).
USMNT-capped goalkeepers Ethan Horvath and Matt Turner had two and three saves for Red Bulls and the Revolution, respectively.
Up next
Revolution: Initial home opener scheduled for March 7 with the Houston Dynamo was postponed because their field was not ready. Their new home opener and next scheduled game is March 15, against FC Cincinnati.
Red Bulls: Host CF Montreal next Sunday.
