Good match for the Gophers against Ball State. They stayed comfortably ahead and didn't make many errors. They played 12 players and everyone played well. Acevedo had a big game (11 kills, 2 Aces) after a weak game against Cal Poly. Crowl did not play.

Good to get the win against Cal Poly. Hanson was awesome (21 kills) and Swenson was great (48 assists, 14 digs and 7 kills!!). The first set was poor and the next 3 sets were good. After the first set, Crowl and Acevedo were replaced by the freshmen, Gilk (11 kills) and Kinney (9 kills), who...

Go Gophers! Beat A & M. We are excited to see this year's team and to have a great season.

She is in-between Samantha and Melani in height and quickness. She is probably not as consistent and precise as either at this time. However, she is a good server, which is important because the team lost two good servers. I think she is a solid player, and the success of the team will depend...

Stella played well against Canada. She looks graceful and consistent like Samantha. She had a couple of Shaffmaster-like kills.

Is the glass half empty or half full. It certainly is not empty and it definitely is not full?

Last year's non-conference schedule seemed to tough for the coaching staff and team that were learning about each other and a new system. I felt that the team lost confidence in the first half of the season. This year's schedule seems too soft for a team that should have a better understanding...

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...
