Gophers volleyball: What you need to know about U's best team

The names didn't change much between the 2014 and 2015 seasons, but results for the University of Minnesota women's volleyball team have been night-and-day.

After dropping the first two matches of the season in an August tournament at Stanford, Minnesota has lost just once -- a five-setter at Penn State -- and leads the Big Ten standings.

On Saturday, the fourth-ranked Gophers (22-3, 14-1) get a second chance at the top-ranked Nittany Lions (24-2, 13-2) at the Sports Pavilion. Start time is 7 p.m.

Last season, Minnesota finished 9-11 in the Big Ten and 19-11 overall.
