Coach Hugh McCutcheon had to be pleased Friday with his team's second match.

The Gophers dispatched Toledo 25-13, 25-18, 25-18. And four players had 10 or more kills: Sarah Wilhite had 14, Daly Santana 12, and Hannah Tapp and Adrianna Nora 10 apiece.

Expecting the biggest crowd of the day, no doubt, for the late match in the Rocket Invite, the Rockets unveiled last season's 2013 Mid-American Conference championship banner before play began.

It didn't help.

The Gophers hit .402 -- remember .300 is good in volleyball as it is in baseball -- for an attack percentage, and held Toledo to .168.

"Minnesota is a great team," Rockets coach Greg Smith said. "They stay really consistent and force you into doing things you're not used to doing.

"We hung with them and had some good runs, but they're such a good team that it puts a lot of pressure on us."

And four Gophers were pounding away for big points. ... Paige Tapp and Nora blocked a spike for set point in Game 1. Paige Tapp's kill ended Game 2 and Laura Calvori's ace ended the match.

Minnesota, now 9-1, beat Duquesne earlier, 25-17, 25-17, 25-19.

Wilhite had 26 kills in the two matches and hit .355. Santana had 19 kills total.

Next up is IPFW, short for Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne. The Mastodons beat Duquesne on Friday night to end a six-match winning streak.

The Gophers should beat 'em to win the tournament.
