I really enjoyed every moment she was on the court. Steffi brought so much energy and enthusiasm every time she stepped out there. I really think that the Gophers will miss her next year. It will be hard to replace her 172 games & 350 digs worth of experience in the BIG10 next season with such an inexperienced back row coming in.
I'm sure that whatever California school she ends up at will be fortunate to have her experience gained from playing in the BIG10.
Thanks Steffi and best of luck being back at home. I will be following and watching you whenever I can.

What? I feel like Rip Van Winkle. I had heard rumors that Sooter was thinking of leaving. I had heard rumors that Sooter had decided to stay. Now, I open VT and it seems she's left. Is this confirmed? When did it happen?

I would view playing for and learning from Hugh as a once in a lifetime opportunity...

A friend at the "U" told me that according to her Facebook page, she said her goodbyes to the "U"....

Edit: Oh it got locked. Great........

Gopher fans, what was your favorite Steffi Sooter moment? I guess I'm kind of taken with her... I'll even excuse a couple of shanked passes for that kind of person. Does your wife know about this thread? If you really did a complete job with creeping my posts, you'd also post why I said I was "taken with her". It's not something I'd be ashamed to share with my wife (who is usually sitting next to me at that moment), or my grandmother for that matter. So hddoc, go bother someone else with that crap. Yes, my favorite Sooter moments are during the pre-match introductions when she gives her tshirt - the ones the other players toss into the crowd - to one of the wheel chair bound fans in the section off the corner of the court.

Yes she said her goodbyes on facebook this morning, I will miss the things already mentioned as I enjoyed her play and personality. Some of the gopher fans on here are going to have to find someone to blame for every gopher loss next year though.she took way to much blame from some and I know it hurt her. Good luck steffi and I hope all your dreams come true!

Thou doth protest too much. With no explanation of context, a thread about a back water sometime DS/serving sub does appear to be a bit random...

What the heck is going on with the Gophers? Why are they losing players every year? Will the Gophers even have enough to fill a team next year?

wtf hddoc, you creep my posts, then accuse me of something creepy by quoting me out of context. Then when I call you on it.... sheesh, is there an ignore button on the board?
Sooter showed class during her time with the Gophers, and that's something not very commonly attributed to other Gopher teams. We need more Sooter, less hdddoc.

Doesn't that make the roster, as it stands right now, a not so solid 11 for the 2012 season?

If I were a player, I'd find it impossible to resist reading about myself, but always heard that nonetheless the players managed to stay away from this board.

Every instance is different, but collectively the numbers seem large. I'm surprised at Sooter's leaving. I don't know her at all, but she always looked like she was happy to be on the team. Even if she missed California, even if this, even if that, don't team mates bond these days? Oh, well. Sooter will definitely be missed.

Told ya.
I'm going to miss Steffi, too. I've been worried about her ever since her concussion last year. She brought out my maternal instincts (which can be quite embarrassing to the entire family).
