It’s week one, and we’re already getting an exciting cross-conference match-up between two teams with nationals ambitions this season.
Michigan is coming into this meet needing to fill big lineup holes left by last year’s graduating class. Keep an eye on which freshmen are given the green light to compete, especially early graduate and former No. 2 recruit, Sophie Diaz.
By contrast, Denver is only looking to fill the lineup spots left by Jessica Hutchinson. Madison Ulrich is the team’s star all-arounder, and the home team can lean on its experience against a greener Michigan squad.
As the first meet of the season, the goal for both teams will likely be to put up a solid performance that will put them in the conversation for the top 10, as well as to get back into the competition groove.
