Detroit — Michigan, bitterly disappointed after being snubbed by the NCAA Tournament, chugged through the WNIT with something to prove.
The Wolverines, who set a program-record with 28 victories, defeated Georgia Tech, 89-79 in a third overtime to win the WNIT championship on Saturday afternoon. It was the first overtime championship in the WNIT and Michigan’s first three-overtime game.
It was played before 4,417 at Calihan Hall because of a scheduling conflict at the Crisler Center.
This was the first championship game for the Wolverines' women's basketball program.
