Hallie Thome recorded 16 points and seven rebounds, while Madison Ristovski added 14 points in the victory.
With the win, Michigan has now posted five straight 20-win seasons, four of which have come under head coach Kim Barnes Arico.
The Wolverines will advance to the quarterfinal round of the WNIT, where they will play the winner of Thursday's Temple vs. Ohio game.
