Michigan women dump Villanova, earn return to NCAA Sweet Sixteen

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan senior All-American Naz Hillmon, who has helped take the program to new heights, took her final bow at Crisler Center with a dominant performance to help send the Wolverines to their second straight Sweet 16.

Hillmon scored a game-high 27 points as the Wolverines defeated Villanova 64-49 in a second-round NCAA Tournament game Monday night before a rowdy home crowd. No. 3-seed Michigan (24-6) advances to the Wichita Regional where it will play Saturday at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas.

Michigan, which hosted first- and second-round games in the NCAA Tournament, were 16-0 at Crisler, undefeated at home for the first time.
