Gophers take set one from Texas 25-21
I hope someone watched the match and will fill in the details. I'm just waiting for the stats. Twitter had Samedy with 22 kills, Hart with 14 and Martin with 11. Rosado apparently had a fantastic match.
I love playing Texas, Stanford and the likes of them in pre-season. Gets the women ready for the challenge of the big10. I would like to see them get Florida or Florida State once in awhile. Go Gophers.
I like the challenges the matches bring also just want to see some different elite teams. Florida schools would be good!
The match is on YouTube if anyone wants to replay it: https://youtu.be/VP2uP00YzZw

2 wins over Stanford for Penn St. Our win over Texas will keep us #1 in the rankings, but Penn St deserves to be right up there. Nebraska coming back to form after a couple set backs earlier this year. Conference season will be fun.
Samedy has been named ESPN's National Player of the Week for her performance in Texas over the weekend.
Have to admit, she's been even better than I expected. Having watched some of her high school film, I knew she'd be good. But I didn't expect her to be this good, this fast. I know I've said it before, but it bears repeating; having her for four years is going to be a whole lot of fun.

I think what we're seeing when the freshmen play at such high levels is Hugh's coaching. /QUOTE]
Not to forget recruiting.
I think what we're seeing when the freshmen play at such high levels is Hugh's coaching. We have one of the top handful of coaches in the nation and it really stands out. The question isn't if we'll win a Natty under Hugh, it's when.
Yikes, Gophers don't look good at all. They sleep walk to a 25-19 set 1 loss.![]()
