Zahui Notches Career High In Golden Gopher Loss

This season has shown a lot of things for the Golden Gophers women’s basketball team. The biggest silver lining of an already great season is the coming out party of Amanda Zahui B.

Zahui, a native of Sweden, showed her awesomeness on Sunday evening. The Gophers lost the game, but it was not due to a lack of effort from Zahui. Zahui put in 36 points which is a career high. The 6-5 center also grabbed 15 rebounds.

It was a matchup of ranked teams in New York. The Gophers had the higher rating of 21, but the Scarlet Knights were just a couple slots behind at the 25 spot. Rutgers came away with a 66-61 victory.

Carlie Wagner notched double-digits as well for the Gophers with 12 points.

For the Scarlet Knights, Tyler Scaife reached a career high 28 points in the victory.

The Gophers next play on Wednesday against Penn State at The Barn. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. between one of the best teams in the Big Ten against the team currently at the bottom of the conference.

The Gophers are now 16-4 overall with a 5-3 record in Big Ten play. Maryland and Iowa sit above the Gophers and the rest of the conference.
