Minnesota was victim to a deep Big Ten conference Sunday afternoon. After getting a four-set win over Michigan the Gophers got swept by a veteran, tough-serving Spartan squad.
The Gophers were far from the only home Big Ten team to be upset this weekend. Before coming to Minneapolis MSU beat No. 5 Wisconsin in five sets. The No. 14 Nebraska Huskers swept No. 2 Penn State in Happy Valley. Unranked Ohio State beat No. 13 Purdue on the road in four sets.
Minnesota struggled all match long to handle Michigan State’s serve. The Spartans served up six aces, put away three overpass kills, and otherwise disrupted Minnesota’s offense as they struggled to pass to target.
