The University of Michigan women's lacrosse team (5-10, 1-4 B1G) hosts East Carolina University in its final non-conference game of the season on Saturday at 3 p.m. at U-M Lacrosse Stadium. The game, which follows the men's lacrosse game vs. Johns Hopkins (noon), will serve as Michigan's Senior Day.

WOLVERINE BITES
• Michigan will honor its four seniors prior to Saturday's game. Mae Tarr, Molly Fishter, Sydney Dalmass and Bianca Brueckner will be playing the final home games of their U-M careers.
• Michigan enters play following a 9-8 overtime loss at Rutgers on Thursday (April 12) in a game that saw seven ties and three lead changes. Rutgers scored on the opening possession of overtime, registering a goal with just one second left on the shot clock. The goal overshadowed a brilliant game in net for Alli Kothari, who tied her own single-game record for saves with 15.
Bianca Brueckner led U-M with four goals on as many shots while Lilly Grass logged a career-best three assists, and Caitlin Muir finished the night with two assists.

• Junior Adriana Pendino matched her career high of five points against UDM, finishing with four goals and one assist.
• In three of Michigan's five victories this season, the Wolverines have held their opponents to four goals or fewer -- Butler (W, 12-2), Canisius (W, 14-3) and Central Michigan (W, 12-4). The two goals allowed against Butler rank third in program history for fewest goals allowed in a game. The exception came in U-M's 9-7 victory over Ohio State on March 17.

• Adriana Pendino has scored three goals or more in a game six times this season.

• Bianca Brueckner is the only Wolverine to score in all games played this season, tallying one goal in each of the 14 games in which she has appeared, including a pair of four-goal games (Detroit, Rutgers). She has played in 14 of 15 games this season and has 20 total points, with 24 goals and five assists.

• Freshman Caitlin Muir has started each of the last 12 games after missing the first three games of the season due to injury.

• Molly Garrett continues to lead Michigan in draw controls this season, winning 47.
