The Gopher Volleyball team is in a spot they have not been in since 2004. Numero uno. The Gophers took the #1 ranking in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll that came out on Monday.
The Gophers were previously ranked #2 coming into the weekend. Minnesota completed a road sweep of Indiana and then #14 Purdue both by 3-0 scores while previous #1 Nebraska lost to then #19 Ohio State. The Gophers are now tied for first place in the Big Ten with a 4-0 record, and have only lost one match all season at then #6 Stanford.
