Creighton was driving the ball hard and deep or straight down to the floor, as far as I could tell (a poor ESPN+ connection). I later turned to other matches & saw aggressive players elevating quick-twitch-style and driving the ball pretty viciously. MN's hitting seemed tame by comparison. I...

Gophers may be wise having 6 pitchers on the roster, but more than pitching I worry about potentially having a punchless bottom half of the hitting order.

Was there a recent posting of recruits? If so, where can I find it?

You say some fans want[ed] Hugh out. Is that to imply there was pressure for the AD to let him go? A friendly question; I only wonder.

Maybe a new Hope Brandner? (Don't worry, I'm only joking.)

How do we think Nebr felt losing to MN? Or Iowa felt losing to MN? Or IL felt losing WI? Or WI felt losing INDiANA? How now MN felt losing to IL? The BIG WEST is weak. It seems OSU, MI, and even PSU don't lose in this fashion because they have the talent on the fleld to dominate in strategic...

The answer is apparently a resounding No. Unless the team does in-house videos, which could be made public.

After watching Fall Ball, I still don't know what to expect from the Gophers in 2024. Will Piper please find one more outstanding hitter in the late fall portal! Not good to see a hitless bottom of the batting order for yet another season.

What was he signaling? That's what the Iowa program has never explained. The only comment is to say what he was not calling, which doesn't go far.

It would be easy for neysayers to pretend the last half of set 4 didn't happen, but it did. If the Gophers play every bit of every match at that level of intensity from here on out, a lot of opponents will be in big trouble.

I went out last night and watched Gophers softball v. Concordia St. Paul. MN won 3-2 in 8 innings. CSP had only 13 players, but they were pretty good and outplayed & outhit MN most of the game. Their starter pitched all 8 innings. MN used all 3 Freshmen pitchers. They did well, made batters...

Was there confusion at the end of set 3? Were there challenges at set point??

13-8 two sets in a row, and lost them both? Then win the match, who's Jekyl and who's Hyde? Players or coahes?

I followed the match on Stats. They screwed up the 3rd set score, first saying NW won 25-23, then it was a tie, then that MN won 25-24, followed by 24-24, and that MN won the match 2-1. What was going on?

I hesitate to venture a reply, but I thought Richardson was more poised in the circle and showed a wider array of pitches.

I was there for both games (all 3 in fact: MN, ISU, NDSU). The Gophers arre stacked with 6 pitchers, all of whom saw some action. It seemed Enter was throwing harder (by her standards) than last year & more confident. Richardson impressed me for a first-yr player. Remains to be seen who, if...

I agree with you. I saw Richardson pitch 3 innings v. NDSU today. The game was in some doubt, slim 2-1 MN lead when she entered, and she shut things down decisively. She was very impressive--- some good velocity on her hard pitches and changed speeds well. She also looked eager to face hitters...

Did Richardson appear in the game? Are there any Gophers newcomers who look outstanding?

Yeah, depressing to watch. The team seems a grab-bag of a few talented stars and lesser players, which lacks the ability to put a drive together when the pressure mounts. They seem to get overpowered at about 22-21 in decisive sets.

I wonder who pitched last night against SCSU. And how did the team look in general? Can anyone who saw the game comment?
