U-M women happy season is still alive

From mlive.com:

Harboring enough energy before Monday's tournament opener is a top priority for Borseth, who has tried to keep practices light during the past week.

And while he knows long-term results can't be guaranteed with one postseason berth, Borseth is encouraged by the progress the Wolverines have made.

"It's been a lot of work,'' Borseth said. "And to be rewarded at the end by being able to play at a postseason tournament is a great accomplishment.''

It's big not only for Michigan's seniors, but for those who now hope to make the postseason an annual rite of passage.

"It's going to be good for us to get into the postseason and feel what that's like,'' sophomore Krista Phillips said. "It's going to be a good thing for years to come that Michigan's not going to be one of those programs that just rolls over. We're going to be here, we're going to be in the postseason, we're going to make something happen.''
