Other Gopher Sports
Minnesota opened the NCAA tournament with a 30-13 30-13 30-24 stomping of the Winthrop Eagles this afternoon in Knoxville, TN. The Big South champions were no match for the Gophers who played terrific offense in the rout.
All of the Gopher hitters except for Sarah Florian, hit over .455 for the match. Meghan Cumpston led the way with 12 kills at a .556 clip. Meredith Nelson added 8 kills. Paula Gentil remains 4 digs away from the NCAA career digs record.
The Gophers will play the winner of the Tennessee and Jacksonville State tomorrow.
