After the libero left the match Friday at Purdue, Minnesota continued to show its talent and toughness on the volleyball court.

After winning twelve consecutive sets to open the season, Minnesota was forced to five sets twice against Purdue over the weekend.

The freshman setter is making an impact early on for a deep Minnesota team looking to make it back to the Final Four.

Minnesota has won every set played thus far, as the team moved to 4-0 in the second weekend of play.

Minnesota was excited to get back on the court against Michigan State last weekend, but the team is focusing on one day at a time during a season of uncertainty.

Led by opposite hitter Stephanie Samedy, Minnesota swept the Spartans to open up the season 2-0.

After a 401-day hiatus, Minnesota took down Michigan State to open up the Big Ten season opener in three sets.

After not playing a fall season, Minnesota and the rest of the Big Ten will begin a conference-only spring season in January.

Coming off a Final Four appearance last season, the Gophers will look to be among the best in the country once again after returning a number of starters and adding the top-ranked recruiting class.
