WBB Euro trip points roundup

So the Women’s Basketball team played 3 games in Europe this summer, with the last one this afternoon. Since I am definitely confused about who might be our leading scorers behind Laila Phelia, I figured I would take a look at the stats that Michigan published about these games (top scorers published on Twitter). They played 2 games against Humber college (a college in Toronto whose team also apparently took a trip to Italy) and 1 game against ŽKK Tresnjevka (a Croatian team). Below I’ve added up the top scorers from each game to get a sense, of who might be emerging as our second and third scorers, as well as who we might expect to see starting at the beginning of the season. 

If you would like more in depth summaries of the games, UM published a day-by-day blog of the trip, linked below. Entries for the first two basketball games are on August 19 and 20,, while the rest is about their sightseeing. One other thing of note is that only 13 of the 14 players were available to play in the games. The unavailable player seems to be Katy Eidle, who had her arm in a sling in a couple of the pictures, but somebody please correct me if this is wrong.

Top Scorers

• Laila Phelia - 45 pts (top five scorer in 3 different games)
• Elissa Brett - 43 pts (3 games)
• Cam Williams - 40 pts (3 games)
• Taylor Williams - 29 pts (2 games)
• Chyra Evans - 26 pts (2 games)
• Taylor Woodson - 12 pts (1 game)
• Elise Stuck - 9 pts (1 game)
• Macy Brown - 9 pts (1 game)

I love seeing Elissa Brett and Cam Williams up there. Brett because we really need one or more of the transfers to work out this season and Cam because she started all last season, but only saw bench-level minutes because of a lack of production. Hopefully this all bodes well for the upcoming season, despite winning all three games by more than 50 points. 

Obviously these are not the only stats that count, but Michigan only published points for all three games, then published some rebounds/assists/steals stats, but just for the final game.
