Michigan

The Michigan Women's Rowing Team competed at the Big Ten Championships at Eagle Park in Indianapolis and came in second with 135 points.  Ohio State won with 160 points.  This result was expected as Ohio State has a very good team this year and is top five nationally.  Of the seven events, Ohio State won all but two.  Michigan won 0 II Varsity Fours F1.  Michigan will next compete in the NCAA Tournament.

Today Michigan is playing Cal in the Regional Final of the Ann Arbor Regional.  If Michigan wins this game, Michigan advances to the Super Regionals.  If Michigan loses, Michigan and Cal play another game immediately afterwards.  The game is on ESPN3.

The Michigan Baseball team is playing at Nebraska today in the Big Ten regular season finale.  Michigan is currently winning 4-3 in the bottom of the third and the game is on Big Ten Network.  If Michigan wins, they are guaranteed a spot in the Big Ten Tournament.  If Michigan loses, Penn State must beat Michigan State for Michigan to have a spot.  That game is currently 0-0 in the fifth.  Go Blue!

The Michigan Women's Tennis Team's season came to an end last night after the team was swept 4-0.  The initial start time for the match was 7:00 central, yet it didn't begin until 11:00.  Michigan played well in all of the matches, yet could only win one doubles flight.  All of the matches were close, and had a few points gone Michigan's way, Michigan could have advanced to their first ever elite eight.  This was a good season for Michigan, the only disappointment being that they lost to Northwestern in the Big Ten Tournament Finals for the eighth time in nine years.  Other than that, a good season.  Hopefully next year they can build upon their successes and advance to their first ever elite eight.  Go Blue!
