Keep the history books open.

In a season of historic highs, the Michigan women’s basketball team continued to climb Monday night in the 64-49 win over Villanova in the second round of NCAA women's tournament at Crisler Center.

U-M advances to the Sweet 16 for just the second time in program history and the second time in as many seasons.

In her last game in Ann Arbor, senior star Naz Hillmon scored 27 points of 12-for-16 shooting and recorded her 16th double-double on the year with 11 rebounds.
