ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's soccer team (0-3-0) returns to U-M Soccer Stadium for a pair of contests this week, hosting No. 9 Notre Dame (2-1-0) on Thursday (Aug. 29) at 7 p.m. and Ball State (1-1) on Sunday (Sept. 1) at 1 p.m.
Notes
• Michigan will honor its senior class of Avery Peters, Avery Kalitta, Tamia Tolbert and Syah Mangat, along with graduate student Katie Roditis, as part of Senior Night presented by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan prior to its contest against Notre Dame. There will be senior posters as a fan giveaway while supplies last.
• U-M will wrap up the weekend on Sunday (Sept. 1), hosting Ball State (1-1) at 1 p.m. The Cardinals will play at Butler prior to making the trek to Ann Arbor.
• Michigan will play three of its next four games at U-M Soccer Stadium.
• Notre Dame moved up to No. 9 in this week's poll, marking Michigan's first ranked opponent of the season. U-M has 50 wins all-time against top-25 foes. U-M faced a pair of top-10 teams in No. 5 Virginia and No. 4 Penn State last season, coming away with ties in both contests. Michigan is looking for its first win over a top-10 team since a 3-0 win over No. 6-ranked Tennessee in the 2021 NCAA Tournament (Nov. 21, 2021).
• Michigan is 5-13-1 all-time against Notre Dame after recording a 1-0 victory in South Bend last season (Sept. 7, 2023), getting a goal from Gabrielle Prych in the 58th minute to record the victory.
• U-M and Ball State are facing off for the first time in program history, with the Cardinals marking Michigan's lone Mid-American Conference opponent of the season.
• A pair of Wolverines made their season debuts last weekend, with Prych and Aniyah League each getting a starting nod in Michigan's contest at Colorado (Aug. 25).
• Michigan has a split week to end the non-conference portion of the season next week, heading to Iowa State on Sept. 5 before hosting Alabama on Sept. 8.
