Minnesota Volleyball: Gophers are the #3 National Seed get First Round Bye in NCAA Tournament

A day after the Minnesota Golden Gophers ended the regular season with a sweep of Iowa at the Pav, the Gophers found out they are the #3 national seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Gophers will receive a first round bye into the round of 32 and will play the winner of Georgia Tech and Lipscomb in the second round on April 15th in Omaha, Nebraska.

The entire NCAA Tournament will be played in Omaha this year as part of the COVID adapted tournament. Additionally, this season instead of the usual 64 team field, there are only 48 teams.
