The Minnesota Gophers volleyball team took care of business last weekend at home against South Dakota and Stanford and reached the NCAA Volleyball Tournament Sweet 16 for the seventh consecutive season. Their reward? A rematch against #5 Baylor in Thursday’s Regional Semifinal and if they were to win, a likely third match of the season against rival #4 Wisconsin on their home court for a trip to the Final Four. Just a simple little road there.
Minnesota will have their hands full against Baylor. The Bears defeated Minnesota 3-1 in the opening match of the season for both teams, ironically on the exact same court the two teams will face off on on Thursday afternoon.
