INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS "Ani has played well all season. Once the whistle blows, Ani lights up. She's been getting chances ev- ery game, and she was finally re- warded with three goals this week- end. She's been very, very sharp, and she was huge for us this weekend." — Head women's soccer coach Greg Ryan on freshman Ani Sarkisian's per- formance that earned her Big Ten Of- fensive and Freshman Player of the Week honors. "Kameron Chatman spoke about how he got to know a lot more about his teammates, especially his room- mate Zak Irvin, and how it was good to finally play as a group instead of just playing against each other in open gyms. Ricky Doyle then added that without having cell ser vice and spotty-at-best WiFi through- out the trip, everyone spent a ton more time conversing and getting to know each other." — Men's basketball head manager Devon Mulry, speaking about the Wolverines' trip to Italy "Kellen will be a great addition to our coaching staff. As a student-ath- lete, he was incredibly driven and fo- cused and a tremendous role model and leader in the program. I think he'll bring those same attributes as a coach. He loves Michigan wres- tling, and he knows what it takes to be successful. I'm looking forward to him being a big contributor this year." — Wrestling head coach Joe Mc- Farland on adding former U-M wres- tler and two-time NCAA champion Kellen Russell to the coaching staff THEY SAID IT Pickerington North head coach Tom Phillips, Butt's high school coach, on how fast Butt returned from his ACL injury "In 27 years, Jake Butt was probably the hardest practice player and game player I've seen. I'm not surprised. His background and work ethic are unbelievable." MOVING? Let our customer service department know your new address! Call us at 1-800-421-7751
