History
Minnesota is 2-0 all-time against Long Island

[JT]

save

[gopherhim]

In the first week, Long Island played 4 matches in 5 days.

0-3 UConn
2-3 Sacred Heart
2-3 Youngstown State
3-2 Quinnipiac

I guess they know a thing or two about 5 setters as well.

I don’t love that they have 4 common opponents with us (Auburn, UCLA, Rutgers, and Chicago State).

Gophers in 5! (It worked against St. Thomas. That’s why we finally had a sweep.)

Game day bump.

[JT]

Doors opened 10 minutes ago, and still only a handful of fans. This will *not* be a packed house, I predict.

(Understandable, given the "who" and "when.")

LIU is 1-6....can Minnesota run a 5-1 with Mcghie and let Grote play all around? Please and thanks.

[gopherhim]

5-1 with

Shaffmaster Grote
Wucherer Hanson
Awoleye Minatee

(So far)

don't want to play against Shaffmother in fantasy? 🤣

[gopherhim]

Julia’s serve has looked good so far this season. 2 aces already

[gopherhim]

Is this the first time we’ve seen Hanson playing OH1? Hasn’t it been Wucherer when it’s those two starting?

[Keegan Cuck]

These black jerseys are soooo much better looking than their white counterparts.

Right? The white jerseys are like pillowcases 😭

The “Diet Coke Classic” makes me want a Diet Coke real bad

[gopherfan8]
