Grace Grocholski had game-highs of 22 points and eight rebounds, and Mara Braun added 14 points, but Minnesota lost to No. 9 Michigan on Monday, 70-60, at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Olivia Olson had 21 points, and Mila Holloway added 12 points and seven rebounds for Michigan, which improved to 12-2 overall, 3-1 in the Big Ten.

The Gophers (10-4 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) outrebounded Michigan 35-33 and turned 14 turnovers into 12 points, but Grocholski and Braun were the only players to score in double figures for Minnesota, which shot 38.6 percent from the field and had only eight total assists.

Minnesota led 19-10 after one period, and was up 29-28 headed into intermission. The Wolverines regained a slim lead in the third period, then scored the first seven points of the fourth to take a 51-43 lead and never trailed again.

Minnesota pulled within 57-53 on Grocholski’s pull-up jumper with 4:18 remaining, but Te’Yala Delfosse answered with a 3-pointer and the Wolverines slowly pulled away.

The Gophers are host to Northwestern on Thursday. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at Williams Arena.
