Wucherer not dressed.

Gophers seem to be pretty evenly matched with Purdue, at least today they are. Match tied 1-1 both deuce sets.

Look what we have here, down 2-1 again. If they keep this up they'll be burned out by the end of the season.

So many quickly lost points in fifth

 

[jham13]

Screwed the pooch on that one but at least pushed it to 5 and lost to a quality opponent that was ranked higher than them. Unfortunately between passing failures and Minatee having an off night outcome could have been different.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

One step forward, two steps back, "easier" part of their schedule coming up to try and get some more wins.

More like two forward and one back.

More like one forward and one back. Story of the season.

For some reason we didn't have scoreboard stats last night. But we didn't need them to know Raven Colvin exploited the same weakness over and again with her serve.
