1. Justin Meram and the Saad Brothers (Men’s Soccer)
The Three Amigos — Meram’s nickname for himself, freshman Soony Saad and sophomore Hamoody Saad — are the talk of Michigan sports for yet another week after a second-round NCAA Tournament overtime victory over Central Florida on Sunday. This time around, Soony — the nation’s leading goal-scorer — was the only one who didn’t factor on the score sheet. The senior Meram notched the game-tying goal early in the second half, and Hamoody got the assist on the game-winning goal just over four minutes into overtime. Michigan’s third-round match at South Carolina is sure to be a tough road test, considering the team hasn’t played a game in a non-Big Ten state since early September.

2. Lexi Zimmerman, Setter (Volleyball)
Despite No. 19 Michigan’s struggles in the past few weeks, it should come as no surprise that Zimmerman and the Wolverines performed well in the senior’s last match at Cliff Keen Arena. She posted 41 assists, 10 digs, six kills and two blocks in a 3-0 rout of Indiana on Saturday. Zimmerman also helped Michigan to a victory over Purdue on Friday with 56 assists. And while both the Boilermakers and the Hoosiers are teams Michigan should expect to beat, it was the first time the team earned consecutive wins in more than a month.

3. Denard Robinson, Quarterback (Football)
During Michigan’s four-week winless stretch in October, sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson’s Heisman chances were pulled back from the stratosphere faster than Four Loko is being pulled from liquor store shelves. But with only the game against the Buckeyes remaining, he shouldn’t be so far off from earning an invite to New York in December. The second-half performance against a Rose Bowl contender like Wisconsin should count for something. So should the distinction of becoming the first quarterback in NCAA history to throw and rush for over 1,500 yards in a season. And yes, the injuries and poor performances against Michigan State and Purdue don’t help his cause. But the complete body of work is at least on par with Andrew Luck’s — Robinson's season totals are still almost comparable to frontrunner Cameron Newton’s. As for the four losses, it comes as absolutely no surprise to anyone that the Michigan defense surrendered 48 points on Saturday — and we’re supposed to penalize Denard for it?

4. Kevin Lynch, Forward (Ice Hockey)
In a strange turn of events, the Michigan ice hockey team won a game on a Friday. Its 7-2 blowout win over Lake Superior State was its first Friday victory since Oct. 8. The eighth-ranked Wolverines followed that up with a 3-2 win over the Lakers on Saturday. Lynch was a major factor on the offensive end in both contests, recording a goal and an assist on Friday and two goals on Saturday. The sophomore forward has been the biggest benefactor of the recent shakeup in lines — scoring three goals in as many games since being teamed with seniors Carl Hagelin and Matt Rust on the second unit.

5. Darius Morris, Point Guard (Men’s Basketball)
There’s some good news and some bad news for Michigan fans. The good news: Morris recorded Michigan’s first double-double of the season with 21 points and 10 assists against Gardner-Webb on Sunday. The sophomore committed only one turnover and his shots are falling at a far better rate than they did last season. The bad news? The Wolverines haven’t found a consistent source of scoring thus far, even if freshmen Jordan Morgan and Tim Hardaway Jr. have scored 20 points on separate occasions. And not to take anything away from Big South powerhouse Gardner-Webb, but Morris will be be hard pressed to be both an effective scorer and distributor against a Syracuse, Kansas or Michigan State.

6. Carl Hagelin, Forward (Ice Hockey)
For the first time this season, a pair of linemates on the Michigan hockey team makes the rankings in the same week. More than anything, that’s a testament to the Wolverines’ balanced scoring effort so far — after all, every Wolverine forward registered a point in Friday’s win. But the Hagelin-Lynch-Rust trio has steadily gained steam since Michigan coach Red Berenson made the line change against Notre Dame. Hagelin has a five-game point streak heading into the College Hockey Showcase.
