Nice win tonight. Julia Hanson was a nasty beast. Illinois had no answer for her. I'd also like to know what the hell got into Carly Gilk from the service line so I can bottle it and share it with the rest of them. It looked like she added 10 MPH. She had Illinois out of system repeatedly and we scored a lot of points on her serve. Whatever it is, keep it up Carly.

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 was a good win over a quality team.

From 20-10 in the third set things turned restless as the Gophers found various ways to give away points (whiffs, out of rotation, etc.)
There was plenty of good including Taylor getting full extension on a rousing kill.
