Michigan women's basketball team shooting for a run in March Madness with super sophomores

Michigan's breakthrough season, led by sophomore shooting guards Olivia Olson and Syla Swords, produced the program's highest NCAA seed and a school-record 24 regular-season wins.
Syla Swords, first-team All‑Big Ten and youngest Canadian Olympian at 18, leads the Wolverines' surge alongside Olson, a third-team AP All‑America and first-team All‑Big Ten, averaging 19.2 points and 6.2 rebounds.
Depth scorers like Kendall Dudley, UCLA transfer , and Te'Yala Delfosse, fourth-leading scorer , provide complementary offense while Mila Holloway, All‑Big Ten defensive team selection, averages 4.7 assists and 12.5 points.
Michigan faces Holy Cross on Friday in the NCAA first round, and players have voiced championship goals, with Olson saying 'Our goal is championships, and, we want to make it to the Final Four.'
At Crisler Center, Michigan raised maize banners honoring Diane Dietz, Katelynn Flaherty Yates and Naz Hillmon, marking the program's first celebration of its best women's players this season and signaling historic momentum.
