The Minnesota Gophers Softball Team is the #1 Team in the country according to the poll released Tuesday morning by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and USA Today. The Gophers received 18 of the 32 first place votes in the poll. The poll is voted on by 32 Division 1 college coaches, one representing each conference.
Minnesota won the Big Ten Tournament last weekend, while former #1 Florida lost in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament to the eventual champion Ole Miss.
Its just another blow to the NCAA Softball Committee who inexcusably did not think that the Gophers deserved one of 16 national seeds for the NCAA Tournament.
