The now #10 ranked Minnesota Gophers volleyball team got off to a bit of a rough start last weekend in Madison at the Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge. Then #7 Minnesota dropped their opening match to then #10 Baylor Bears 3-1 on Friday before coming back to defeat TCU 3-0 on Saturday. It won’t get any easier for the Gophers this week as they open up their home portion of the non-conference schedule Wednesday night by hosting #1 Texas at the Pav.
The Gophers and Bears played a fairly evenly match to open the season last Friday, but Baylor converted when they needed to, and a few unforced errors by the Gophers cost them the match.
