Other Gopher Sports
Despite taking a 23-17 lead in game 4 of the NCAA second round in Knoxville, TN, the Gophers fell 30-19 24-30 20-30 30-27 15-11 to the Tennessee Volunteers. Paula Gentil broke the NCAA career digs record in her final match.
The Gophers were led by Meredith Nelson who had 23 kills and hit .450, but it was not enough for a Minnesota team that was unable to capitalize on many chances in the match.
A very small Tennessee crowd watched the Vols advance to their second consecutive sweet 16.
