It started with the women’s soccer team upsetting 13th ranked Michigan on the road.  Olivia Schultz scored on a corner kick in the 37th minute.  The Gophers were also aided by a big day from freshman goalkeeper Tarah Hobbs, who had five saves on the day.  The team now returns home where they will face Ohio State Friday night and then go up against Penn State on Sunday.

Meanwhile on campus, the women’s volleyball team swept the No. 20 Purdue Boilermakers to improve to 2-0 in Big Ten play.
