Another regular-season tournament, another victory.

To some teams, it might come as a surprise, but to the Michigan volleyball team, it's just another step.

The seventh-ranked Wolverines have won 17 consecutive regular-season tournaments, the most recent coming this weekend at home in the Michigan Challenge.

“We’re progressing really well,” Michigan coach Mark Rosen said. “This weekend, we were able to work on the depth of our team and work some players into the lineup that haven’t played a whole lot this year.

“Every game, we put just enough pressure on (other teams) that after a while, they would break for a few points."

The Wolverines (10-0) capped off the weekend with a three-set victory over Missouri (7-3) on Saturday night, after also defeating Fairfield, Morehead State and Virginia Commonwealth.

Senior outside hitter Juliana Paz paved the way for Michigan all weekend. The Porto Alegre, Brazil native registered 13 kills and 11 digs in the weekend’s final match against the Tigers.

Paz nabbed MVP honors for her stellar four-match weekend.

“It’s an individual award, but it’s really for the team,” Paz said. “If I didn’t have the pass or the set, I wouldn’t get the MVP. … I’m just trying to do my best here and the award shows our team’s hard work.”

Her performance earned her All-Tournament Team honors along with junior setter Lexi Zimmerman and sophomore right side hitter Alex Hunt.

Rosen praised Michigan's humble mindset in the face of an undefeated record and the highest national ranking in program history.

“We don’t want to take anything for granted,” Rosen said. “That’s how you get upset. Our players did a nice job of not casting any value judgments on any teams we were playing and we just focused on our side of the court.”

The weekend tournament allowed Rosen to put some of his younger and less experienced players into the lineup to help familiarize themselves with the tempo and style of collegiate volleyball.

“We have a very unique team for college volleyball,” Rosen said. "We are very fortunate, because we have a fair amount of players who are really good six-rotation players. It’s good and bad. It’s hard because we’re only playing seven players, but it’s just how this team is made up.”
