Preseason ended on an unusual note as the Gophers cancelled their last game of the season due to high temperatures and humidity inside Maturi Pavilion Saturday night. The Gophers only match of the week was Thursday against Green Bay who they swept.
No. 7 Minnesota will open conference play at home; Wednesday night they’ll take on No. 4 Penn State at 8:00 P.M. on BTN. Saturday at 6:30 they’ll face off against Maryland.
The Gophers didn’t have too much trouble getting past the Phoenix on Thursday winning 25-18, 25-15, 25-22. Coach McCutcheon mixed up his lineups throughout the night but Minnesota held steady as they outhit and out-blocked Green Bay .
