The first set was dissapointing. The Gophers looked disinterested. After falling in a 0-6 hole in set 2 they turned it on and dominated the Tommies through the end of the set and all of set 3. Set 4 was ragged again as Cook played everyone.
A few individual observations. Wucherer looks healthy. She's moving well and hitting hard. Her serve receive is still aweful. Kinney and Gilk were mostly solid as you'd expect. McKenna Crosson hits hard but looks like she needs more time to be ready to play at a high level.
HOEKE BRINGS SOME SERIOUS JUICE. She looks like a solid Big Ten middle already. Madi Kraft didn't play a lot but looked OK. Olivia Swenson did a nice job as a serve specialist.
A run by Blanket Lady run was a nice surprise. Thanks Peps.
