A possible new Dawn for the Michigan Wolverines?

Interestingly, in Big Ten, Michigan ranks in the top 5 in three categories – aces per set (1.74. fourth), team attacks per set (34.12, third) and team service aces (132, fourth). Nonetheless, University of Michigan ranks sixth in digs per set with 13.80.
