I have already told you folks about the Gopher game last night. Now for the rest of the action with MN players.

Wisconsin, a big 10 rival lost to unranked UC Santa Barbara on Friday in five games in the U of San Diego tournament. Wisconsin held a 2-1 advantage, but failed to close the deal. Their next contest went according to script with a sweep of Ivy League Brown. Wisconsin coach Pete Waite picked up career win 450 in beating host San Diego in four. It also happened to be the championship match.

UConn split their remaining games at the Diet Coke Classic, losing to Dayton in four and then sweeping Tulane to close the tournament.

Former Hills-Beaver Creek, MN player Erin Boeve had 17 kills in a Iowa State sweep over Baylor. Boeve also had 2 blocks and 7 assists for the match. It was the Big 12 opener for both.

Marquette beat Stony Brook in five to close out its tournament. They lost the first two games to SB and came back with three in a row. The beat Manitoba in an exhibition, and lost to San Francisco 3-1 to open the tournament.

Northern Iowa Swept Bradley 3-0 to open Missouri Valley conference action.

North Dakota State traveled to the South Dakota State Jackrabbitt Invitational. They opened with a sweep over UM Kansas City. They then beat Lamar to push their win streak to four games. That streak came to a halt with New Mexico State's sweep of the Bison 28, 18, 17. Sheila Parrish made the all tournament team.

Host South Dakota State also was swept by NM State 9, 16, 25. They also won a pair on Saturday UMKC (3-1 win) and Lamar (3-0 win). It was coach Andrew Palileo's 200th win.
