Any idea how this impacts the title race? Will it go by winning percentage or total wins? Either way, hurts to lose out on a match we would have hoped to be a win.Friday's Match Against Rutgers is Canceled - University of Minnesota Athletics

The link says it's a forfeit and Minnesota is credited with a conference win.
What were the "health and safety...matters unrelated to COVID"? Was that a typo, and it was related to COVID"? In Rutgers' last match (last Saturday), 11 players played, but it seems it was a medical decision. Maybe a mononucleosis breakout?
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Friday's volleyball contest between Rutgers and Minnesota at Maturi Pavilion has been cancelled.
The decision not to travel to Minnesota was supported by the Big Ten Conference and was made out of an abundance of caution surrounding the health and safety of the participants due to matters unrelated to COVID.
The health, safety and well-being of the student-athletes, the program's coaching and support staff and event personnel are the guiding concerns of all decision making within Rutgers Athletics.

I don't understand why he's wrestling for the Gophers again. He has literally nothing left to prove in amateur wrestling.
Ng signed today.
The policy remains mask up. I did notice that at hockey tonight that they were handing out masks to fans that didn't have them.
I'm a student, and in the U's buildings and especially in classrooms, students, faculty, and staff are still following the masking policy. For some reason, some sports fans think they're exempt.
Just more of the same. I honestly don't know when the ladies will be able to beat the Badgers again.
Walleye, maybe the game and the Gophers team is as you describe it if you are looking at the game as a 5 set whole.
Yes, extrtemely disheartening. You'd think with a possible 1st-place finish on the line, there'd be some way to get that match point. But as the saying goes in baseball, it's not over till the last out. IMO MN's problem is they don't have the depth of outstanding players other top-10 teams have & it shows in the end. When you have to rely on one player, Samedy, for 31 kills & 17 digs..... it's a roster badly in need of bolstering up next year or....
Only way they get to the final four is if they luck out and get a team like Louisville in 2019 that just had their Super Bowl upset of Texas, and was out of gas for the next match.
you're so right. obviously retke is a special player...but their middles had 36 kills yesterday and our middles had 1. our middles have 164 kills on the entire season (95 sets - 1.7 kills per set). it makes it even more amazing that samedy is able to do what she does considering that the block can just key on her every single time and rarely ever get punished for it.
More like, it's a ping pong between right and left sides.
Except for Louisville and Pittsburgh, the ACC teams still seem to get little respect from the coaches. The AVCA poll has Georgia Tech at #14 (#6 in the RPI), Miami (FL) at #26 (#11 in the RPI), and Florida State at #30 (#14 in the RPI).
