History
Last Meeting: Sep 16, 2021 – Minnesota won 3-0

Minnesota is coming back from an 0-2 weekend against teams that were in the same ballpark for 2023 RPI, but ranked below them in the AVCA coaches poll.


Will the Gophers play a match that doesn't go five sets?

[Norah Sus]

Someone voted 3-2.
If that happens I’m done being a Gophers fan.

These are my two alma maters and I will switch primary alliances if the Tommies take even one set here.

Wasn't me, but maybe the previous four matches are showing a trend.

For the sake of my blood pressure, the trend needs to stop. Fairview is in network for me, but I’d rather not go there. 😄

Agreed, but have we seen her come in and set? I don’t think Chloe even came in during the spring or the ISU exhibition match.

She set in Europe at least one set. So yeah, not much. Serving sub more often.

[gopherhim]

In one of the threads last weekend someone said something about the Gophers packing their 5 setter shoes. Nike wouldn’t like it but if this ends up being a 5 setter they should consider burning their shoes. Maybe they already have holes in the soles anyway. Lots of use!

[BigDigEnergy]

Curious to see what kind of line up we will see tonight. I expect the starters will start set 1 and then we will see some changes in set 2 and 3. I hope Mel is dressed and she can play.
