Schroeder lone Gopher on U.S. team for World Junior Championships
Sophomore center Jordan Schroeder was the only Gophers player named to the preliminary roster for the U.S. team for the WJC which will be held Dec. 26-Jan. 5 in two cities in Saskatchewan, Canada. Schroeder was on the 2008 and 2009 teams, so he is a virtual lock to make the latest. He will miss four nonconference games, the Dodge Holiday Classic and a series against Harvard. Jacob Cepis, a junior forward who transferred from Bowling Green, will be eligibile for those games and should step into one of the top six forward spots.
