• On Wednesday (April 23), four Wolverines received Collegiate Water Polo Association All-Conference recognition. Ari Karampetsou was a first-team selection, Issy Jackson landed on the second team and Sophia Bunnell and attacker Matilda Waugh were received honorable mention recognition.
• Brooke Ingram, Jackson, and Ashley O'Neill turned in standout performances against No. 12 Indiana, each recording two goals and an assist apiece in a 14-11 setback.
• Captain Kasey Umlauf scored twice against Indiana for her fourth multi-goal game of the year, the last coming against Brown in the Conference Crossover.
