Happy October readers! I’m ready for this heatwave to be over and for proper fall weather. Not a great week for Gophers sports, but I hope you all tuned in to the women’s hockey comeback win over Boston College.

Not a lot from the sports desk this week so enjoy this bullpen Rouser.

Until next week,

The Gophers are 1-3-1 in the conference so far. Their future matchups will only get more difficult. 

Senior midfielder, Tatiana Cunningham, said one of the ways they prepare for those games is by pushing each other in practice. 

“We cannot just show up for the game and try to do everything well,” Cunningham said. “We have to get everything done during training, and have those standards for ourselves during training.”
