• Senior Maddie Burns set the Michigan career ground balls record against No. 1 Northwestern, picking up two to bring her career total to 101. Burns broke Anna Schueler's record of 100 set between 2014-17.
• A record seven Wolverines earned All-Big Ten honors on Wednesday (April 24). Burns was an unanimous first-team selection, while Kaylee Dyer, Erin O'Grady and Jill Smith all joined Burns on the first team.
