There isn’t much happening in Gophers sports this summer, but Regan and Megan have still be putting out some amazing articles, introducing Gophers fans to some new players!
Make sure to check out their stories about two different sets of Gophers sisters!

The Gophers women’s basketball team added two new sisters for the upcoming season, graduate student Tracey Bershers and incoming freshman Zoey Bershers.
The pair is ready to bring their talent to the Gophers, find their place and compete on the women’s basketball team.
Due to the starting five being all returners, the two will have to work hard to gain some serious minutes. Coach Dawn Plitzuweit said in a recent interview with KMSP that all of the recruits are doing just that.
