• Leaders and Best: Seniors Jessica Heifetz and Madisson Lewis, as well as senior/junior Ani Sarkisian will represent Michigan as cap- tains for the 2016 season. Head coach Greg Ryan also focuses on lead- ership development with his entire senior class and encourages them all to lead in their own way.
• Three Players Missing from Starting Lineup: The Wolverines have been without three key players in the 2016 season -- junior defender Taylor Timko, redshirt freshman midfielder Kelly Sweeney and sophomore defender Sura Yekka. Timko and Sweeney both suffered from knee injuries in the spring season, with Sweeney re-injuring the same knee that held her out for the 2015 season. Yekka, a native of Mississauga, Ontario, is not competing with the Wolverines during the 2016 season, as she trains with the Canadian U-20 Women’s National Team in preparation for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. With the absence of Timko, Sweeney and Yekka, Michigan is missing players who would likely start in three of four wide positions -- Timko at left back, Yekka at right back and Sweeney at left midfield.
