ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan head coach Matt Anderson has released the schedule of games for the 2010 Wolverine Invitational on March 13-14 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Michigan will be joined by Gannon University, Grove City College, Siena College, Iona College, Salem International University and Mercyhurst College in the tournament, while the Wolverines will also contest three Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Western Division league games during the same period.

Competition will begin on Friday, March 12 when the Wolverines take on Gannon (6:30 p.m.) and Mercyhurst (8:00 p.m.) in the first two CWPA Western Division games of the season.

The Wolverine Invite will commence at 8:45 a.m. on Saturday, March 13 when Gannon dives into the pool for a game against Grove City College.  The Wolverines will return to the water at 10:00 a.m. for the first of three back-to-back-to-back marathon games against Iona, Salem International (11:10 a.m.) and Grove City (12:15 p.m.).  The Salem-Michigan game will be counted as a CWPA Western Division contest as the Maize and Blue will wrap-up three-quarters of their divsion slate in less than 24-hours. 

Following Michigan's mini-marathon, the remainder of the day will wrap-up with meetings between Gannon-Siena (2:00 p.m.), Mercyhurst-Salem International (3:15 p.m.), Iona-Mercyhurst (5:45 p.m.) and Michigan-Siena (7:00 p.m.).  The Mercyhurst-Salem International game is not scheduled as a CWPA match-up as the Lakers and Tigers are set to meet on Sunday, March 21 at Pennsylvania State University-The Behrend College in Erie in CWPA Western Division play.

On Sunday, March 14, Grove City meets Iona (8:30 a.m.), Iona takes on Gannon (noon) and Siena faces Grove City (1:10 p.m.) to conclude the Wolverine Invitational.
