Go Gophers! Beat A & M. We are excited to see this year's team and to have a great season.

Buckle up, more of the same bs. Up 20-18 and can't close the set.

 

[NoelarBear]

Some sloppiness and communication issues, which are expected in the first match with a new setter.

Would love to see more offense outside of Hanson.

 

[(R)uffda!]

Bad lineup choices IMO. But what do I know?

No reason why TAMU should sideout at this % either.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

3-1 loss.

 

[(R)uffda!]

TAMU service got better and better and Gophers went the opposite direction. Add that to too little offense and now yet another program has moved ahead of Minnesota.

But I'll spare you the negativity. Sorry. Hope things turn around.

First game of the season against a final four senior dominate team. The defense and passing was better than last year. We will be okay, first games are always a little rocky when integrating new people.
#3 Pitt just lost to #16 Florida the other night. It's very early.

I suspect Cook started Crowl because of her experience. Tough opponent, first match, big stage. While I understand that thought process how many times do you need to see her play to know she's seriously limited. She's in her 5th year and has never done anything of note. Assuming Wookie can't play its time to roll with Kinney or Gilk.
