• U-M is making its first trip to the Aloha State since recording a 6-1 win on March 6, 2015. The teams also met in the first round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament at Stanford, with the Wolverines getting a 4-0 shutout win in Palo Alto, Calif.

• Michigan comes in at No. 3 in this week's ITA team rankings.
