The Wolverines will send 13 wrestlers to the tournament, with 10 of the 13 to compete for an overall team score.
WOMEN'S SOCCER: Melissa Wayman, a junior defender, has been named to the All-West Region third team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The NSCAA also honored Utah with its Team Academic Award for the 2004-05 school year.

VOLLEYBALL: It took all season to set up this marquee matchup in women's college volleyball.
Top-seeded Nebraska will face No. 3-seed Washington for the NCAA title tonight in San Antonio. Both teams dominated during the regular season, each winning conference titles while losing only once.
"I think this is what everybody wanted," Nebraska coach John Cook said Friday. "We tried to play every top team this year, and the only one we haven't played is Washington."
Washington (31-1) has the NCAA's best hitting percentage of .341; Nebraska (33-1) is fourth in hitting percentage at .324.
