Welcome back to the Michigan Insider here on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

It is now time for our weekly check-in with Michigan women's soccer and their head coach,

Jen Klein. Coach, welcome back to the show. How are you?

Yeah, I'm doing well. Can't believe we're already at the end of our regular season schedule here.

It's gone incredibly fast and, yeah, I just can't believe. Yeah, it seems like that happens just about every season where you put all that work in, you talk about the, you know, all the offseason work and the grind that is the off season and the grind that is the preseason.
