For her efforts this season, Smith became just the fourth player in program history to be named a Tewaaraton Nominee, joining Arielle Weissman (2022), Molly Garrett (2021) and Mira Shane (2019).

? Junior Maya Santa-Maria became just the fourth goalie in U-M history to reach the 100-save mark in a single season. With 16 starts this season, she has made 107 saves, with five or more in 11 games. Santa-Maria joins the list of Allison Silber, Mira Shane and Arielle Weissman.

? U-M has had back-to-back sellout crowds for the first time in program history. The Wolverines welcomed 2,387 fans to U-M Lacrosse Stadium on April 16 versus Penn State and followed most recently with 2,057 fans against Ohio State.

? The Wolverines are led by the attack trio of Boehm, sophomore Ryan Cohen (3.83) and senior Josh Zawada (3.83), all of whom rank in the top-three in the Big Ten in points-per-game. Collectively, the attack trio is one of three lines in the country where all three members are ranked in the top-50 in points per game. Zawada enters the weekend six points shy of 200 for his career with 194 (108G, 86A), while Cohen is one point from becoming the eighth Wolverine to notch 100 points as he enters the Big Ten Tournament with 99 points (51G, 48A).

? Michigan is 5-0 when scoring 15-plus goals, 3-1 when committing fewer turnovers, and 4-1 when scoring first in a contest.

? The Wolverines boast the top faceoff duo in the nation, as the pairing of graduate student Nick Rowlett and junior Justin Wietfeldt combine to make up the nation's No. 3 faceoff unit (62 percent).

Michigan takes down Cornell 15-14. Was not able to watch the game. I'll catch the replay on BTN. On to Duke, unless Delaware pulls the upset.
