If I'm remembering correctly -

Hugh had entered the UNI Tournament once during his Gopher coaching years. It was held on practice courts somewhere on their campus. We entered the building and walked through 2 gyms adjacent to each other to get to the third gym where we played. There were two courts in that gym setup along side each other, with the tiniest bleachers between the courts. If lucky, these bleachers each held 4 adults comfortably.

Hugh never entered this tournament again...imagine that. It was the Spring when OH Kalei Mau was still on the roster before transferring to Arizona State. I believe DS/L Brittany Jack from Australia was on the roster too.

If anybody is planning on attending this Spring season, I sure hope UNI has figured out over time to hold it in a different venue. It was really a very very sad setup for Div 1 College Volleyball.

There are some names from 2014-2019 that ... take one back. Swider, Beckley, Alugbue, Buford, Eggert, McLean, Litzau, Nielsen, Kleinman, Zeimann, Sheehan, Rendahl, Dolonga, Calouri ...

Kalei Mau was one of those players who I wished saw playing time for us. Hugh was always looking and wanting those 6R pins...that could be the reason she never started as a Gopher. I do know her departure was shocking to this Gopher fan. While at Arizona State, she started at OH and had a very successfull volleyball career.

I remember when Coach Hebert scheduled UNI to play games in Rochester. If I recall, it only lasted a couple of years. I saw them play at Century High School many years ago.
