Before enrolling at Michigan, she tore her ACL, missing the entire 2012 season and taking a redshirt. Last year, Anderson struggled to get back into the lineup, playing just 12 total minutes.

Denham tore her ACL at the end of her senior year at Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio (the alma mater of former Michigan men's point guard Trey Burke), and she began her Maize And Blue career in rehabilitation.
