The Gophers volleyball team steamrolled its way to a fourth consecutive Big Ten victory Saturday night by means of a three-set sweep of Maryland at the Maturi Pavilion.
The Terrapins came into Minneapolis with a 12-6 record, but were no match for their hosts. The Gophers dominated from start to finish (25-9, 25-18, 25-17) to improve to 11-5 on the year.
Minnesota’s Kelley Kinney tied for the match-high in kills with 11; Stella Swenson dished out a team-high 34 assists, while Zeynep Palabiyik’s 10 digs also paced her squad.
The competition ratchets up next week as the Gophers travel to face No. 9 Purdue in West Layfayette, Ind. at 6 p.m. next Friday.
