GOPHERS UPSET #14 OHIO STATE
Minnesota did themselves a favor with a tough four match road win over #14 Ohio State. Coming home with a split on this trip is a good accomplishment. They were able to squeeze a game off Penn State Friday night and now a win against Ohio State after losing the first game the Gophers won the rest.
Kelly Bowman had 14 kills on the afternoon to lead Minnesota.
