Crumpton, the program's first conference Athlete of the Year, was a unanimous selection on the All-Big Ten first team, giving her first-team awards in three of her four seasons (1999, 2001, '02). She led the Wolverines with 30 regular-season points (10 goals, 10 assists), tying her with Penn State's Joanna Lohman for the conference lead. Crumpton is tied with Amber Berendowsky (1996-99) on Michigan's career scoring list with 113 points after her 11th goal of the season against Ohio State (Nov. 7) in the Big Ten Tournament.
The career scoring leader among Michigan defenders, Sullivant was named first-team All-Big Ten for the second consecutive season. Sullivant led Michigan defenders with 11 points this season, scoring two goals and assisting on a career-high nine others. Only two Michigan players have started more games in their careers than Sullivant, who has accumulated 85 starts in four seasons.
A two-time tri-captain, Williamson returned to the All-Big Ten second team for the second consecutive season. Williamson has led Michigan's defensive unit in all 20 games this season as the Wolverines' center defender. She also contributed a goal and an assist to the Michigan attack.
Boyles and McAndrews played major roles in the Wolverines' success this season en route to earning Big Ten All-Freshman honors. Boyles has started 17 of 20 games for the Maize and Blue, and her three goals and two assists place her among the team scoring leaders. McAndrews started in all 20 of the Wolverines' games this season at right defense and has two assists in her freshman campaign.
Michigan (13-5-2) awaits the announcement of the 64-team NCAA Tournament field on Monday (Nov. 11) at 4:30 p.m. on ESPNEWS. First- and second-round contests will be held next Friday through Sunday (Nov. 15-17) at 16 campus sites across the nation.
