Maddie Nolan earned her popular nickname, “Maddie Nylon,” as a freshman at the Big Ten Tournament. Now a senior returning to that very same tournament, Nolan has continued to adapt as @umichwbball’s “Swiss Army knife.” My feature for @theblockm: michigandaily.com/womens-basketb…

This photo. Wow. #WorldSeries

Despite a rough start against rival @MSU_Football, @UMichFootball revitalized its offense in the second half to bring the Paul Bunyan Trophy back to Ann Arbor for the fourth straight year. This week’s front cover: Justice Is Served.

@matthew_auch Congrats Matthew!

Really excited to be working as a sports intern for the Free Press this summer. Huge thank you to everyone who helped me get here — this is a dream come true.

@matthew_auch Hey Matthew, thanks for the reassuring note about texting and driving. 1. Was the paint bucket empty or full? Was it thrown at you by a person, wind or something else? 2. On the note of not texting and driving, what are some other combos people shouldn’t do simultaneously?

Embarking on the second half of my solo drive from Atlanta to Ann Arbor today! Already drove through three states and was nearly hit in the windshield with a paint bucket. It’s been an adventure! Ask me questions that I will answer at rest stops bcs you shouldn’t text and drive.

Facing new conference foes, @umichsoftball toppled perennial contender @UCLASoftball and top-seeded @OregonSB with stellar pitching to achieve its second consecutive Big Ten Tournament title. This week’s digital #SportsMonday cover: Champions of the West.
