I hope the Gophers find something positive in this match and can use it to improve.

They can't handle the traffic that they have now. Streaming gets really slow on days with lots of games. Many times, I have lost the stream near the end of a game; it is especially frustrating when the end of the game is in doubt. I suspect that they are getting a whole new group of fans...

I can't keep track of the substitutions and rotations watching on BIG+. It puzzles me how Gilk and Kinney can get hot and then we don't see anything from them for stretches. A strategy for beating Minnesota is to let Hansen get her 20 kills because the other hitters and middles won't hurt you...

Gophers Rise to No. 2 in Latest USCHO Poll 11/3/2025 11:33:00 AM | Women's Hockey Share: MINNEAPOLIS – The University of Minnesota women's hockey team climbed to No. 2 in this week's USCHO.com national poll, released Monday, Nov. 3. The Gophers had previously held the No. 3 spot for the first...

Wisconsin turned the tables on Minnesota (7-2). They scored their first goal 14 seconds into the game and a second goal about two minutes later. The Gophers were swarmed most of the game and couldn't dig out of the hole. Hannah Clark, who has been outstanding this season, was bombed. Get...

I agree about Gilk. I couldn't tell whether USC defensed Gilk better in the second half of the match or whether the Gophers inadvertently quit going to her as much. I think the Gophers got too predictable in going so much to Hanson. Also, they seemed to go less to the Middles.

Disappointing result. Gophers were really solid serving and digging in the first half of the match. Then, they seem to tire and the digging was the first to go. They got too predictable in the second half of the match.

Third ranked Gophers beat #1 Wisconsin in Madison 5-1. Outstanding game. I think the announcers said the Gophers scored 5 goals in about 11 minutes. They tied the game 1-1 near the end of the second period and scored 4 goals in the first half of the third period. Go Gophers, beat the Badgers...

I doubt that there is a female Dave Winfield on campus. A miracle like that only occurs once in a lifetime. But, it would be nice.

They looked awesome the first two sets. Nice to see them bounce back so well after the Purdue loss. They were rolling in the third set and lost their rhythm with substitutions and moving players around. Their digging and passing was great in the first two sets and got shaky in the third. It...

Heartbreaking match to lose. But, the Gophers played at a high level and fought hard the entire match. Let's hope it is a positive learning experience especially for the freshmen. They played the #11 team almost even in a very raucous environment. They have the potential to be a very good...

Okay, let's dispel some of the rumors. While the story is not mine to tell, I can confirm some aspects. -This is not something that has been festering or anything like that. Mallory has no ill will towards any of the players on the team and is still close to them. This was a decision that was...
