Hurray. Murphy is coming back for the 2025-26 season. Go Gophers.

It could be worse. A lot of people, including people on Gopher Hole, refer to them as "Girls."

This was probably the most underperforming and disappointing Gopher hockey team of all time. It was super loaded with talent. We can blame the coach. However, I think there were many players who were thinking about their pro opportunities and contracts, and not enough about the team. There...

Best all-around game of the season for the Gophers! Go Gophers.

Any coach who wants to win would bring in a player better than her/his current starters. I remember Texas Tech taking on Sheryl Swoops when she wanted to transfer from Texas. The team chemistry was excellent even though some players received less recognition or playing time with Swoops'...

It is disappointing that they lost so badly to Wisconsin after playing them so closely in the WCHA tournament. They get careless on defense because they focus so heavily on scoring. They made some mental mistakes under the pressure. They would rather win 6-5 than 1-0 or 2-1. I don't think...

I agree that Battle is a good basketball player. I also think that she is a good point guard. The problem is that the team often needs her to be a scorer because they are not getting much scoring from the rest of the team. There are not many point guards that can be scoring machines and...

Minnesota has four players from the Transfer Portal who are better players than Johnson is right now. Your high school ranking doesn't mean much once you step onto the college court. You have to earn your position all over. The lack of NIL money and Minnesota's record will make it extremely...

Disappointing loss. Poor ball movement. Catch the ball and look and look and look. You shoot it! No you shoot it! And for a change in tactics. Dribble, dribble, dribble, and maybe try to drive to the basket after the defense is set.

Congratulations on a 20 win season! Good to get the win. The play was rather up and down. The defense was stagnant, especially in the first half, and then pretty good. The offense was stagnant at times and then great. I hope that they can savor their victory, rest up, and get ready for the...

Gophers play like they have a designated scorer. Indecision. They catch the ball and look first to pass it. The indecision costs them an open shot, a drive to the basket, or a good pass. The end result is that they dribble around and get trapped. The game plan has taken GG, McKinney, Heyer...

Memo to Gopher Women's hockey team. You have had three bad losses. It is in your head. Shake it off. Remember to work on improving and playing as a team. The best team does not always win the conference tournament or national championship. The team that gets Hot at the right time wins the...

Great win. They played great defense. Outstanding rebounding. Offense was up-and-down but got the job done. They stayed tough at the end and could have unraveled as IU tried to step up the intensity. Battle, Hart, and Heyer had double digit points. Heyer got another double-double (10...

Disappointing loss. The Gophers played like they were stranded in a snow storm and didn't get to the gym until the last minute. They didn't seem to have a good game plan. GG and Battle were 0 - 10 on 3-point shots. Mckinney (16 pts) and Stewart (14 pts) got going in the end. Heyer got her...

Big Gopher win over the #2 Buckeyes, 3-1. Scoreless first two periods. Gophers broke it open with three goals in the first half of the third period. They pressured the Buckeyes most of the game. Buckeyes score in the last two minutes with an extra attacker. Goal by former Gopher Emily...
