BRIDGEPORT, Pa. -- Freshman Lauren Colton (Tustin, Calif./Tesoro) of No. 8-nationally ranked the University of Michigan handed out two assists, collected two steals and drew a pair of ejections to earn notice as the April 5 Western Division Rookie of the Week and help the Wolverines clinch the Western Division regular season title with a 6-4 victory over No. 15 Indiana University.
