    Actually, a really great draw and great opportunity for some winnable matches.

    B1G Match 20: Gophers host Nebraska (11-25-23)

    That and adding Z to the defense has helped us become more cohesive. Also, Tayla is playing some better D and our blocking has improved. The main point is we are playing better and let's hope we can get the opportunity to continue to do that and win maybe a match or two in the Post Season. I...

    B1G Match 20: Gophers host Nebraska (11-25-23)

    We are playing so much better and let's hope that continues, if given the opportunity. The biggest difference in that match was SETTING. I suggest to rewatch the match on YouTube and try to focus on the NATURAL FORM an incredible FRESHMAN playing for Nebraska has. Riley Bergen had her pins...

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    Penn State loses RR but it appears that program has not lost a beat. Minnesota loses HM and the ship is barely afloat. IMO it pretty much started in 2020 with several transfers, but one specifically to WIsconsin. Again, that is strictly my opinion. I am now reading that Awoleye is in the...

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    I am reading..... Both Murr and Phoebe will be recognized Friday night at The Pav for SENIOR Night. We now need two experienced Middles unless they possibly plan on converting Schnichels and Olivia to MB's. I have also read that the portal is open. Who knows but next season could be even...

    Other B1G Conference Matches 2023

    Wisconsin is still without Smrek but they switched the entire team offense around instead of just substituting her on the RS. Orzol and Robinson both did not have good nights at the pins. The match was pretty much in Franklin's hands to win it for Wisconsin. GG, TTA and Booth contributed...

    B1G Match 18: Gophers Host Ohio State (11-18-23)

    Really liked these comments from KCook in the above article... "A lot of what we saw tonight, especially, we want to hang onto," Gophers coach Keegan Cook said. "We get one more week to recreate it in the Pav, and then if we get a chance, we'll take it on the road with us. "But make sure they...

    B1G Match 18: Gophers Host Ohio State (11-18-23)

    Z really looked comfortable out there last night. She is a very important part of the much needed defense for this team to succeed. I didn't notice other players stepping in front of her. She was being allowed to play the game and did a wonderful job for us....serving, passing, digging and...

    I am recording the Wisconsin/Purdue match. just caught the very tail end of the fifth set. Happy for Purdue and their win tonight in 5.

    B1G Match 17: Gophers Host Iowa (11-17-23)

    As expected, the Gophers won in a sweep over Iowa. If you have BTN+ worth the watch....especially sets 2 and 3. Grote had another huge match. Z had a great night for the Gophers serving, passing, digging and her FIRST KILL OF THE SEASON. Minatee came in for Awoleye and had some great...

    Athletes Unlimited 2023

    Caught this summary on USA Volleyball website for this past season for Athletes Unlimited. TD still receiving some type of recognition, which is nice to see. ATHLETES UNLIMITED Libero Morgan Hentz was named Defensive Player of the Year at the end of Athletes Unlimited’s five-week season...

    Point well taken, just slightly before I started following Gopher Volleyball.

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    I was just trying to point out that Shaff has had SOME success setting the middle since she has been our starting setter. Her most success was last season. However, with that being said, I also feel Pedro had a lot to do with those numbers put up by our Middles. I believe Booth's numbers are...

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    You keep saying this but the stats for our team last season with Shaff as our setter certainly do not indicate that. In fact, our Middles (all of them) hitting % was better than our pins. You might have to download the PDF File after clicking on this link...

    With that information, I totally agree.

    Other B1G Conference Matches 2023

    This was a very good match. I believe RS Smrek wasn't playing and IMO she can be even a bigger game changer than Booth. I haven't looked at any stats and I could be wrong on her playing or not. I caught the last set for sure.

    B1G Match 16: Gophers visit Indiana (11-12-23)

    In all seriousness, I wasn't so sure KCook would leave JH in the rest of the match. I have also questioned when he starts moving players in and out like "chess pieces". How does a player gain confidence and not have it turn into a mental game for each one of them? Some players can handle it...

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    Out of curiosity, does anybody know if Schnichels ever played MB during her HS and/or Club days? I have been entertaining the thought of her being used in that position next season, if the coaching staff cannot convince some EXPERIENCED 5 yr MB's to come to Minnesota. This will be a tough...
