It's a maize out double header at the UM soccer complex tonight as the women take on Oakland at 5:30pm and the men take on Detroit at 7pm. Get there early and get a rally towel or a set of maize pom poms. Woo giveaways!

Women's

The women (3-5 record) had a roster shuffle late last weekend as senior defender and captain Kylie Neschke and sophomore Clare Stachel both were lost to season ending injuries. Taking their spots on the roster are sophomore midfielder/defender Kara Koppinger, who saw minutes against USC, and freshman defender Shana Manning.

Oakland comes into the match at 2-3, with losses to MSU and WMU. The Grizzlies have been outscored 3-8, with two of those goals coming from #10 Sarah Lynch. Their top shooter is #6 Dani Haelewyn with 11. Their goalie, #1 Whitney Sarkis is pretty good with only 3 goals against in 17 shots on goal.

Michigan enters the match at 3-5 after going 0-2 in California this weekend. Michigan has eight different players with a goal, including Jackie Carron and Kristen Goncalves who each have 2 a piece. Holly Hein continues to lead Michigan in shots with 11.

Something to keep an eye on at this game is the play of Michigan's goalies. Haley Kopemeyer is getting more time in the net these days as she has set her career high for saves in a game in each of her games this year. One item that should be noted though, is that the defense has been a bit more porous with Kopemeyer in the net. In 419 minutes at keeper, Kristen Keane has faced 20 shots on goal (10 goals, 10 saves); meanwhile, Kopemeyer has faced 32 shots on goal (8 goals, 24 saves) in 290 minutes.

Men's

The men (4-1 record) look to have a pretty easy match against Detroit, a team Michigan has done very well against in the past, with a 5-0-2 record. Team goal leader Mauro Fuzettialso has a great track record against Detroit, including last year's game where he posted a hat trick.

Speaking of Fuzetti, he's really racking up the points this year. He's got 5 goals and 2 assists on the year already for 12 points. He ranks second in the BigTen in points and goals right now, but leads in shots with 26.

Make it out to the game tonight and support your Wolverines. Also, if anyone happens to take some good pictures, drop me an email, and I'll post it up.

Updated with the correct spelling of Fuzetti.
