Bad loss. Terrible serving and receiving. Streaky. Let opponents off the hook and have big runs. In the second set, Wucherer missed a couple of returns and then seemed to get out of sorts and made more errors. One of the cardinal sins is to think about the last point and not be focused on...

Good to get a sweep of Bemidji. The first game was tight but the second game was better. It can be chancy when playing in-state rivals on their ice.

Nice to get a win on the road. The Gophers struggled a bunch but kept their noses ahead. Hopefully, they can find their rhythm because they have a tough bunch of matches ahead.

Good win. The Gophers showed grit and kept fighting for every point. OSU was playing great but couldn't lift their game enough to hold off the Gophers. I hope the Gophers learn from this match and gain more confidence.

Gophers win 3-2 in OT. A win is a win. However, the Gophers were playing with fire. If you let a team hang around, you could get burned. MSU played great today.

Good match and win for the Gophers. Hanson was outstanding. Gophers had less pressure, could work on things, and have fun. I like that Cook rest players like Grote, and previously Wucherer, to make sure that they are healthy for the future. I also like that he plays reserves much in the third...

Great first half of the game. The delay of game penalty was dreadful. The officials can and should whistle a play dead when the puck isn't being moved and do a face-off. Wisconsin scored on the power play and snatched the momentum. Gophers power play defense was terrible. They have some...

Tough series against OSU in Columbus. Gophers played hard and showed grit. It would have been nice to get more than one point, but a loss and a tie in Columbus is not a total downer. For some strange reason, Gopher hockey teams have trouble winning shootouts.

Another nice win for the Gophers. It wasn't a big pressure match and the Gophers could concentrate on trying things, execution, and having fun. Great all around play. Outstanding blocking.

Nice to get the win over Indiana, especially in straight sets. Good to see Wucherer back. She seemed to move well and play well (7 kills, .294, 5 blocks, 8 digs). Awoleye and Minatee had big games (14 kills, 12 blocks). The match should have helped with confidence and timing.

Great win over a quality team. Good all around play.

Good match. A lot of people got to play. The reserve players did a great job. I wish they would start the season with matches like this one rather than jump into the fire. LIU played well and made the Gophers focus and work.

Scary match. The Tommies will be playing with no pressure and swinging freely. The Gophers have a lot to lose and could be very tight. I hope the Gophers play well and can use this match to fix some problems.

I don't think the glass is empty, but I am not sure whether it is half empty or half full. They seem to have trouble focusing on points, situations, and streaks, but they don't quit. In the fifth set, they seemed to decide that they were going to live and die with Hansen. I kept hoping that...

Wucherer didn't play the last two sets. Did she get hurt or was she sick? She certainly didn't have good stats.

I would give him a "B." However, I would give the coaching staff a "C-" on play calling and game management.

Moments of brilliance. Good blocking and middle kills. Did a lot of good digging and receiving in the first three sets. Got out of sorts in the 4th and 5th sets. They had 23 service errors. That is the same script as the first half of last season. Serving is something that they should have...

Disappointing loss. Poor play calling and we can't blame that on the QB these days. Monday's practice should be Tackling 101 and Route Running 101.

Most people probably don't know who she is.

I doubt Abby was left off the team for one hit and ejection, or that she makes "cheap shots." I think she got left off because of the enormous number of penalties that she gets. Leading the NCAA by over 10 penalties is a terrible distinction. You cannot have a risky player who might get a...
