MINNESOTA FALL IN MICHIGAN
Minnesota stubbed their toe at Michigan Saturday night and now will have a difficult time holding on to second place in the Big 10. Michigan's conference record is only 5-9.
Minnesota has two tough road games at Wisconsin and Purdue coming up. It would take a epic meltdown by Penn State, which I don't see happening, for the Gophers to have a chance for the Big 10 title.

Wisconsin did not overlook Michigan State and picked up the four game win to move into a second place tie with Minnesota.

North Dakota State won over South Dakota State in a sweep at Brookings. It was NDSU's first win in over 10 games against their neighbor to the south. Kristie Klusaw, SDSU's setter reached her 4000 assists.
NDSU will host the D1 independent tournament next weekend.
