Interesting that most of the "impact players" for the Tommies are underclassmen. Goerger looks like a pretty impressive addition from the MSP powerhouse Wayzata High School. Young team, and I think next year they start to move up the standings. Gotta crawl before you can walk, though. They need one or two more D-1 recruiting cycles. They took a set from Denver, but Denver wasn't playing a couple of their best players in that match. I think the Denver coach was using that match to try some different things roster-wise.
Of course, our girls won't look past this weekend like lazy fans like me will...
