The same quintet accomplished the feat vs. Illinois on Oct. 3 and Tennessee on Sept. 4. ROCK THE HOUSE TIMES TWO Michigan fans packed Keen Arena Friday night (Oct. 16)to see the Wolverines near upset of Penn State and came back in droves Saturday night (Oct. 17) to watch U-M dismiss rival Ohio State. Sellout crowds of 1,850 packed the arena each night, marking the first back-to-back sellouts in program history. WOLVERINE MILESTONES VERONICA ROOD reached 800 career kills in U-M s loss to Illinois (Nov. 6). MEGAN BOWER moved into second place all-time in career digs 1,384 and a tie for second in career matches played (131) versus Indiana (Nov. 14). ALEX HUNT eclipsed 500 career kills at Minnesota (Oct. 24). LEXI ZIMMERMAN became the fourth Wolverine in program history to reach 4,000 career assists.

JULIANA PAZ eclipsed the 700 career kill plateau vs. Ohio State (Oct. 17) and the 500 career dig mark vs. Wisconsin (Oct. 30). STATISTICALLY SPEAKING WOLVERINES RANK NO. 10 IN LATEST VOLLEYBALL RPI The latest 2009 Division I volleyball RPI was released Monday (Nov. 16) with Michigan earning a No. 10 ranking. The RPI, or Ratings Percentage Index, is a measure of strength of schedule and how a team does against that schedule. HUNT ON NATIONAL ACES LIST Alex Hunt checks in at No. 21 in the latest NCAA DI aces per set rankings list. Hunt boasts 42 aces on the season, an average of 0.46 per set. Juliana Paz who was No. 47 last week, fell out of the top-50. WOLVERINES ACE THEIR WAY UP SEVEN SPOTS As a team, Michigan moved up seven spots to No. 23 in the nation in aces per set at The Wolverines are the highest raking Big Ten school on the list. ZIMMERMAN RANKS TOP-30 IN ASSISTS Lexi Zimmerman currently ranks No. 30 in the nation with assists per set. Zimmerman is the third highest ranked Big Ten setter, behind Penn State All-American Alisha Glass and Illinois Hillary Haen. WOLVERINES KNOW HOW TO KILL Michigan checks in at No. 23 in the country in kills per set with a average. Only Penn State (14.83) -- which ranks No. 5 overall -- is higher among Big Ten schools. WOLVERINES RANK 29 TH IN ATTENDANCE Michigan currently ranks 29 th in the nation in home attendance, averaging 1,254 per home contest. Michigan has packed 16,308 fans into Keen and Crisler arenas this season through 13 home dates. WHAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED PERFECT BIG TEN START IS RARE U-M s 3-0 start in Big Ten play was a first under head coach Mark Rosen. The last Michigan team to accomplish the feat was the 1997 squad that finished 13-7 and tied for third in the final conference standings under former head coach Greg Giovanazzi. DONHOFF LAUDED FOR DEFENSIVE EFFORTS Sophomore libero Sloane Donhoff was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week Monday (Sept. 28) after posting a career-high 25 digs in the victory over Purdue (Sept. 27). It marks the first career weekly accolade for Donhoff, who dug more attacks than any other player in the conference over the weekend, averaging 4.4 digs per set and converting on 35-of-36 reception opportunities while anchoring the Wolverine defense that held opponents to a sub-.200 attack percentage. NON-CONFERENCE WIN STREAK ENDS U-M s saw its 52-match winning streak against non-conference opponents in the regular season come to a close with its loss to Oregon State (Sept. 19). TOURNAMENT WIN STREAK SNAPPED With a runner-up finish at the Michigan/adidas Invitational, Michigan snapped its streak of 18 straight tournaments and invitationals won in the regular season, dating back to the 2005 Georgia Invitational in Athens, Ga. HUNT SETS NEW STANDARD AT THE STRIPE Sophomore Alex Hunt set a new U-M single-match record with nine aces versus Marquette (Sept. 11). Hunt s nine aces eclipsed the previous best of eight set by Katie Bruzdzinski (Sept. 17, 2004 vs. Virginia Tech) and Juliana Paz (Sept. 12 vs. VCU). ZIMMERMAN RECORDS FIRST CAREER TRIPLE-DOUBLE Lexi Zimmerman s triple-double (11 kills, 17 digs, 42 assists) versus Tennessee (Sept. 4) is the first by a Wolverine since Nov. 12, 2004, when Lisa Gamalski had 11 kills, 27 digs and 48 assists against No. 5 Minnesota. Michigan has never had a kills-digs-blocks triple-double. CAN YOU DIG IT? With 23 digs from Sloane Donhoff and 21 from Megan Bower versus Xavier (Sept. 5), Michigan had two players with 20 or more digs in a match for the first time since Oct. 19, 2007, when Stesha Selsky (29) and Kerry Hance (20) turned the trick against Indiana. WOLVERINES ADD TO TOP-25 VICTIMS LIST With victories over #3 Nebraska and #22 Kansas State, head coach Mark Rosen s list of top-25 teams he has defeated while at Michigan grew to 23. Below are the most recent five victories over top-25 programs by the Wolverines. DATE OPPONENT W/L GMS 8/29/09 vs. #22 Kansas State W 3-1 8/28/09 vs. #3 Nebraska W /5/08 vs. #21 Saint Louis W /4/08 vs. #20 Kentucky W /25/08 vs. #11 Minnesota W 3-0 TRIO NAMED AVCA SHOWCASE ALL-TOURNAMENT A trio of Wolverines were named to the Runza/AVCA Showcase All-Tournament team after U-M posted a 2-0 mark opening weekend. Juliana Paz (27 kills, 7 aces, 19 digs), Alex Hunt (23 kills, 4 aces, 13 digs) and Lexi Zimmerman (76 assists, 18 digs) represented U-M. HUNT GAINS INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN SUMMER Sophomore Alex Hunt was one of 12 players named to the 2009 U.S. Women s Junior National Team roster on May 18, Hunt, who played almost exclusively on the right side for the Wolverines as a freshman, transitioned to an outside-hitter role for international competition this summer. Hunt, who finished her inaugural campaign as the fifth Wolverine in program history to earn All-Big Ten Freshman team honors, recorded 210 kills and posted two 20-plus kill matches, including a career-high 21 at Purdue on Nov. 1. DONHOFF TAKES OVER LIBERO ROLE With the graduation of Kerry Hance following the 2008 season, sophomore Sloane Donhoff assumes the role of libero for the Maize and Blue heading into Donhoff split time in the role with Hance last season, posting 321 digs and a team-best 43 service aces. ROOD MAKES SWITCH TO THE MIDDLE Senior Veronica Rood, who has started 20 matches over the last two seasons as an outside hitter, is making the transition to the middle for her final campaign. Rood will look to serve as a replacement for the graduated Beth Karpiak, providing some offense to go with established blockers Karlee Bruck and Courtney Fletcher at the net. A LOOK BACK AT 2008 WOLVERINES SWEET FOR SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR Michigan s comeback win over 13th-seed Saint Louis in NCAA second-round action last season propelled the squad to its second straight Sweet 16 appearance. The Wolverines accomplished the feat for the first time in program history in 2007, winning a pair of games at home. WOLVERINES POST ROSEN-BEST RECORD Michigan s 2008 NCAA Tournament win over Saint Louis marked the team s 26th win of the year -- the most program victories under head coach Mark Rosen. Rosen led U-M to 24 wins in 2007 with two of the victories coming in postseason play. The 26 triumphs are the most since 1981 when U-M picked up a Michigan-record 41 victories. SECOND-BEST U-M BIG TEN FINISH Michigan s fifth-place Big Ten finish in 2008 ties for the second-best in Maize and Blue history. Michigan had a share of third place in 1997 and won the Big Ten title in ZIMMERMAN BACK TO RUN THE OFFENSE Michigan junior setter Lexi Zimmerman returns to pilot the Wolverines offense in 2009 after earning first team All-Big Ten honors in unanimous fashion a year ago as well as second team All-America accolades. Zimmerman already holds the U-M single-season assists mark (1,685 in 2007) and ranks fourth all-time in helpers (3,095) after just two seasons. TRIO TO CAPTAIN THE MAIZE & BLUE A trio of captains will be used by head coach Mark Rosen for the 2009 season with senior Megan Bower, junior Lexi Zimmerman and sophomore Sloane Donhoff earning the nod. All three were captains last season.
