The #4 Minnesota Gophers volleyball team started their season off on the right foot with an opening weekend sweep in the Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge. Minnesota knocked off #16 Baylor 3-1 on Friday afternoon and then returned Saturday evening for a 3-0 sweep of TCU on their home floor. Minnesota’s insanely tough non-conference schedule is just beginning as the Gophers will remain in Texas and head down to Austin to face the #1 Texas Longhorns on Wednesday night.
The Gophers got off to a bit of a slow start in their season opener.
