I have uninformed guesses about the Gophers lineup, based on last week's St Thomas match. But I have zero idea about the Cyclones lineup, so in the interest of neutrality, I'm not going to post either. I'd love to hear others' guesses - especially from informed ISU fans.

Sadly cannot make it today but look forward to getting some updates and after-the-game thoughts!

My guess for the Gophers lineup assuming same injuries from the last match:
S: Shaffmaster OH: Wucherer OH: Hanson MB: Phoebe MB: Grote OPP: Schnichels L: Z DS for Schnichels: Gray SS: Elise

Obviously excited to see the Gophers play but also looking forward to seeing Duckworth and Gonzalez live. Hoping for some heavy hitting on both sides of the net!
Maybe I’ll have Kwik Trip fried chicken before the match in honor of Wucherer’s NIL partnership. I’m also going early enough so I can visit a feral cat sanctuary. What an exciting day in Faribault, Minnesota!

Does anybody know if Minatee is still injured? I'd love to see her and Awoleye handle the middle so Grote can play her natural position. That is, assuming they are only having her play middle due to the current shortage

If I were to track a stat for the match would you rather see individual and team passing scores or individual and team hitting percentages?

I didn’t want to commit to full stats because I want to enjoy the volleyball too haha. I don’t have any muscle memory with a stats app to be able to do it mindlessly.

If anyone is going and wants to sit near me, I’ll bring my tablet. I may need some assistance once in a while to ask who got a kill/block from time to time but I should still be able to keep up with the speed of things, they play a bit faster than my club team, which is a bit easier to do stats for.

If you want to keep stats for fun you should do so. However, I don't for two reasons. One, a person, years ago, posted here some stats from a spring match. Interestingly the person sitting next to me was recording stats during the match. To completely different sets of data. One or both of them were way off. The other reason I don't is because I remember Hugh saying something about not keeping stats in the spring matches because he wanted the players to not think about making mistakes. Spring is a time to push and to try new things. So the stats may be meaning less anyway. Again - its just for fun.

Looking forward to follow along with everyone’s running commentary. We live too far away to see any spring matches and without video are left with VT! 🤷♂️ Hope the atmosphere is electric.
