SENIOR
Continued from Page 10
Ten for seven consecutive years. Then
the Thorius era began as she started
every game in her freshman year.
In the four years with the offense
under her control, Michigan has made
four consecutive trips to the postseason,,
including three NCAA appearances.
Statistically speaking, Thorius left her
mark all over the record books as the
first Michigan player with 500 assists,
1000 points and 400 rebounds. The ben-
efits Michigan received from Thorius

were reciprocated as she developed in
the four years with the program.
"I've just grown through this whole
experience. It's been amazing," she said.
"I could never just put this behind me."
She already accomplished her dream
at Michigan of playing in the United
States - but she's not so sure she's
ready to stop yet.
"I always thought I'd want to go back
to Europe and play, but I'm not so keen
on the idea anymore," Thorius said.
"The WNBA is definitely a number one
dream right now. If not, I'm just look-
ing for ajob like any other senior."

IRISH
Continued from Page 10
In fact, they seem to have built a
career on it. But the Irish came out
with too many weapons in the second
half. Notre Dame boosted the lead to
29 by midway through the half, as
Joyce's threes and Riley's consistent
rebounding kept Michigan's defense
frantic.
Thorius played aggressively and
passionately in her final game in the
maize and blue. Seven rebounds, five
points, six assists, three steals and a
block were impressive - but not near-
ly enough for any kind of Michigan
comeback.
Alayne Ingram, the hero of Satur-
day's comeback win against the Cava-
liers, shot only 3-18 from the field,
although many of those shots were in
desperation as the Irish's lead grew.
Every player on both rosters saw
action in the waning minutes, as a
Notre Dame victory was assured.
Seniors Thorius and Katie Dykhouse
were both on the floor for their final
minutes as Wolverines.
Michigan has never advanced fur-
ther than the second round of the
NCAA Tournament, but, with some
gifted. recruits and a little luck, they
may find themselves poised for a
longer run next season.
