Bella Pucci scored 14 points and Ashley Redd added seven for Binghamton (2-2).

The 120 points marked the most scored by Michigan against an NCAA Division I team in school history. It is the second time this season that the Wolverines have scored at least 100 points.

It was also the most scored against the Bearcats in team history, surpassing the 103 tallied by Notre Dame in 2018. The 70-point loss is the second-worst in Binghamton history, behind only a 77-point setback to Oneota in the 1973-74 season.

Michigan shot 66.2% from the field — the second-best field-goal shooting percentage in school history, behind the 66.7% against Illinois in 2001. Binghamton only made 34.0% of its shots.

The Wolverines outrebounded the Bearcats 43-20 and also totaled 29 assists to the Bearcats’ nine.
