The No. 6 Michigan Wolverines fell one spot in the rankings this week after splitting its opening-season series 1-1 against No. 13/ 15 Providence. Looking to rebound, the Wolverines are hitting the road for their first away series of the young season against UMass.
UMass is undefeated (1-0) following an opening weekend 5-3 victory over AIC. The Minutemen are a combination of youth and experience but are still trying to establish an identity.
Offensively, UMass is a team in desperate search for chemistry as nine newcomers are still looking to gel with the seven returners from last year’s 13-17-5 team.
