The Wolverines’ win completed a weekend split of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge at Ocker Field. Michigan lost 5-0 to No. 2 North Carolina on Saturday. It’s the first ACC/Big Ten Challenge win for the Wolverines since 2002, according to MGoBlue.com.

"I give them a lot of credit. It's not easy to come off a 5-0 loss, play another amazing team and come back super strong, but we did,” said Michigan coach Marcia Pankratz. “I was really proud of our team. I thought we stayed focused; we followed the game plan, hustled and played as a team. I was proud of them for that."
