Minnesota Volleyball: IU and Maryland Preview

We’re past the halfway point in the conference season and Minnesota (17-4, 9-3) is still in contention for a repeat Big Ten title. The Gophers have an easy week this week, which should help them gear up to finish strong. Minnesota will have to win out and get a little help from some other teams if they’re going to defend their title.

Gophers will end their home stand with a match tonight, Wednesday, against IU at 7:00 CT. Sunday afternoon at 3:00 CT Minnesota will play Maryland.
