Junior outside hitter Brook Dieter has quit the Gophers volleyball team. Dieter was a second-team All-America and first team All-Big Ten player last season. She was averaging almost four kills and 2 1/2 digs per set in 19 matches.
"We'll miss Brook," Gophers coach Mike Hebert said. "She is a great athlete who has contributed in so many ways to our program."
Minnesota (15-5 overall, 6-2 conference) is rated No. 9 in the coaches' national poll and is tied for second place in the Big Ten standings.
