    Mallory Heyer announces she's leaving Gophers program

    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.

    B1G match 11: Gophers host Illinois 10-29-29

    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...

    B1G matches 9 & 10 Gophers visit Indiana and Purdue 10-24 and 10-26-25

    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...

    Mallory Heyer announces she's leaving Gophers program

    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...

    Mallory Heyer announces she's leaving Gophers program

    As a senior, a leader, and a hardworking consistent experienced player, Heyer deserved to start and be a role model for the younger players. If there is someone playing better, they deserve to sub in and have lots of minutes too. Heyer played a huge number of minutes in a very physically...

    B1G matches 1 & 2 Gophers host Michigan State and Rutgers 9-25-25 and 9-28-25

    Nice win over Rutgers even though the set scores were closer than we like; 22, 13, 27. Cook gave reserves much playing time and had faith in them as the 3rd set got tight; they pulled it out and hopefully gained confidence. Kinney played the 3rd set and had 5 kills. Lee had 4 service aces...

    Loyola 9-19-25 and Marquette 9-21-25

    Great win over a good Marquette team. The sets were tight and the Gophers didn't falter and they closed out the sets. I find this team very interesting and exciting to follow because they are overcoming adversity, improving, and their potential is still being written. I hope their potential...

    Minatee out for the year

    Does the U need a more forgiving surface for the players to practice on so they don't over-stress their bodies? Does the U need to change its training/conditioning practices such as less strength training and more flexibility activities? Other?

    Golden Gopher Invitational: Cal Poly, Ball State & St Thomas (Aug. 29, 30 & 31)

    Challenging match and good win. St. Thomas brought their 'A' game. Gophers got to try lots of combinations and give new people experience. They had to regroup after Palabiyik went down with an injury. Tough break but a good learning experience. Kinney with11 kills and Acevedo with 3 aces...

    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.

    Golden Gopher Invitational: Cal Poly, Ball State & St Thomas (Aug. 29, 30 & 31)

    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...

    Stella Swenson Named to U-21 Team for Pan Am Cup

    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...
