Notes<\/p>\n
\u2022 Michigan is 3-1 on the season after earning a pair of wins against Kent State and Vermont last weekend in its home-opening weekend. The Wolverines opened the season with a 1-1 record at the annual ACC\/Big Ten Challenge.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The Maize and Blue have outscored their opponents 10-4 through the first two weekends of play, scoring four goals apiece against Kent State and Vermont. U-M successfully defended all nine penalty corners last weekend, including one while shorthanded against Vermont, and has put 42 of its 63 shots on goal (.667).<\/p>\n
\u2022 Esm\u00e9e de Willigen<\/a> led the scoring effort last weekend, recording the first hat trick of her career against Vermont. After the Catamounts scored at the 3:27 mark, de Willigen evened the score with just under two minutes remaining in the first quarter and added the game-winner late in the second before completing the hat trick 25 seconds into the third quarter.<\/p>\n \u2022 Eva Bernardy<\/a> leads the team with 15 shots, including 14 on goal, while 10 other Wolverines have recorded multiple shots. Juliette Manzur<\/a> leads the team with two assists, both coming on penalty corner conversions.<\/p>\n \u2022 Bernardy, Sofia Ghanbari<\/a>, Kelsey Reviello<\/a>, Natalie Millman<\/a>, Dru Moffett<\/a> and Anjolie Norton<\/a> have all found the back of the cage this season. Ghanbari and Norton scored the first goals of their careers, with Ghanbari recording the overtime game-winner against North Carolina in the season opener. Bernardy has scored twice, converting a penalty stroke against the Tar Heels and a penalty corner against Kent State.<\/p>\n \u2022 Michigan’s defense has allowed just 29 shots through four games, with nine on goal. U-M has conceded 10 penalty corners, including none against North Carolina — the first team to hold the Tar Heels without a penalty corner since UConn in 2014 — and has successfully defended eight of the 10. In the cage, Hala Silverstein<\/a> has recorded four saves on eight shots faced with a 0.98 goals-against average.<\/p>\n \u2022 California is 3-0 after defeating American, Central Michigan and Columbia and will make its road debut Friday. The Golden Bears have outscored their opponents 12-5, including a shutout of Columbia. Liz Klompmaker leads the team with five goals, while Josefina Moyano has scored twice. California has allowed 11 penalty corners with just one converted, while starting goalie Carine van Wiechen has recorded five saves with a 1.73 goals-against average.<\/p>\n \u2022 Michigan is 7-2 all-time against California and has won the last two meetings. The teams last met in 2019, when U-M earned a 2-1 victory at Underhill Field in Berkeley, Calif.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Promotions Sept. 11
