Senior Day

As mentioned below, Sunday's game against Minnesota was senior day. The last home game (barring possible NIT games) for Krista Clement, Janelle Cooper, Katie Dierdorf and Ta'Shia Walker. All four were honored after the game. From the Michigan Daily:

Four-year captain Krista Clement stood in front of the Crisler Arena crowd for the last time Sunday, clutching a microphone and wiping away tears.

To Clement's left, fellow seniors Janelle Cooper, Katie Dierdorf and Ta'Shia Walker joined her with tears also rolling down their cheeks.

"We pretty much made a vow that none of us were going to cry," Clement said. "But I couldn't hold it back. It was a pretty special time."

Moments earlier, as part of Senior Day festivities, all of the seniors were individually recognized. But as they joined at center court, they took the spotlight off themselves to thank those who had helped them during their Michigan careers.

Clement, with microphone in hand, pulled out a list, to thank everyone from the band to the ushers to the members of Michigan coaching staff past and present.
