Here we are. After 30-some games this season it all comes down to a match between two very familiar foes for a berth in the NCAA Volleyball Final Four. Minnesota Gophers vs Wisconsin Badgers. Gold vs Red. Let’s get it on!
Minnesota got here by upsetting #5 seed Baylor in the Sweet 16 in a come from behind 3-2 win. They did it with star 5th year senior Stephanie Samedy being rendered rather ineffective for a good chunk of the match as well. That left it to the Gophers other outside hitters in Airi Miyabe and Jenna Wenass to pick up the slack, and that they did.
