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.
KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — It’s fair season and a new law uncorks adult beverage sales!
The new Indiana law will go into effect July 1st, making it legal to sell alcohol at county fairs.
The Kosciusko County Fair is set to kick off in just a few weeks and Indiana is officially allowing alcohol to be sold.
The law is bringing back something that’s not necessarily new to this fair.
Here’s what you need to know
The new law will go into effect on July 1st. It officially allows county fairs to apply for fee-free permits to sell alcohol.
Officials with the Kosciusko County Fair say they are participating this year. They are implementing the same guidelines they used when they sold alcohol just at grandstand events.
The difference now is, you can walk around the grounds with your drink. But strict guidelines will be in place for purchasing a drink.
“Actually, we’ve never had any issues. Because we card everybody, so we take that seriously. We also got the ID guides so we can identify the different types of IDs,” said Sheal Dirck, Treasurer of Kosciusko County Fair.
The Kosciusko County Fair already have guidelines in place, so this was an easy transition for the fair.
They will be the only vendors selling alcohol, which will make it easier to control distribution.
The sales will also bring in more revenue.
“Hopefully it allows to keep our ticket prices where they are because right now, insurance, utilities and everything else is going sky high and it’s hard to make ends meet,” said Dirck.
However, some fairs cannot participate because of the July 1st start date, like the Pulaski County Fair, which is going on right now. Pulaski County officials said it is on the agenda for next year. Whereas other fairs are choosing to sit this year out.
“We wanted not spend some time to, to see what that really means for us. It was not a decision we wanted to rush into. But we are happy for the option of it,” said Shelly Steury, GM of Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds.
Leaders at the St. Joseph County and Elkhart County Fairs said neither of them are selling alcohol.
The Kosciusko County Fair is the only fair that will sell alcohol in our area this year.
