Gophers run up volleyball success against Hoosiers
Lydia Grote had 13 kills to lead the No. 14 Gophers volleyball team to a sweep of Indiana on Friday at Maturi Pavilion.
Julia Hanson and Calissa Minatee each contributed eight kills for the Gophers, who won 25-18, 25-19, 25-19.
Melani Shaffmaster had 35 set assists and 10 digs and Zeynep Palabiyik added 10 digs for the Gophers (10-5, 3-2 Big Ten). The Gophers improved to 4-1 in Maturi Pavilion this season. It was their seventh sweep of the season.
It was the Gophers’ 13th victory in a row over Indiana. The Gophers’ past 20 home matches against the Hoosiers at the Pavilion have been Gophers sweeps; they have won 60 consecutive sets. The Hoosiers last won a set at the Pavilion in 1999 in a 3-1 Gophers victory.
“We had a lot of balance, and a lot of our strengths showed up tonight,” Gophers coach Keegan Cook said. “We wanted to have a chance to compete and play a little cleaner than we did last weekend and be a little more ready physically. It will be a quick turnaround, but this group is looking good.”
Candela Alonso-Corcelles led Indiana (9-6, 2-3) with 14 kills.
The Gophers play host Maryland on Saturday. Maryland (10-6, 1-4) was swept at Wisconsin on Friday.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
