• U-M returns to the pool after a 1-1 weekend at Polo-Palooza in Fresno, Calif., defeating San Jose State 15-13. The Wolverines concluded the weekend with a victory in their exhibition meet against Pacific.
• Freshman Ari Karampetsou wasted little time making an impact in her Michigan debut, delivering a seven-point weekend with six goals and an assist. The performance led her to her first CWPA Rookie of the Week honors.
• Emma Gustafsson was named CWPA Player of the Week on Jan. 21 after she recorded five goals on seven shots, including a hat trick, in the season opener against Fresno State.
• Goalkeeper Madie Ambrose returned to the pool and tallied 12 saves during Polo-Palooza, crowning her CWPA Defensive Player of the Week (Jan. 21) for her efforts. Her nine-save performance over the Bulldogs matched her career high set last February.
