The Gophers are going for their second consecutive tournament title
The University of Minnesota softball team is in Columbus for this weekend's Big Ten Tournament. The Gophers won the title last year with a thrilling bottom of the 7th walk-off win against top seeded Michigan. The Wolverines are once again the #1 seed, but the Gophers have moved up a spot from the #3 seed in 2014 to the #2 seed this season.
The Gophers and Wolverines are the cream of the Big Ten crop this season, and nationally. The Wolverines enter the Big Ten Tournament ranked third in both college softball polls, while the gophers are #9 in one and #12 in another.
