Sixth-ranked Gophers to host Ohio State in volleyball

October 30, 2019 at 1:57AM

The No. 6 Gophers volleyball team will host Ohio State at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Maturi Pavilion.

Minnesota (15-3, 9-1 Big Ten) is tied for second in the conference with Penn State.

The Buckeyes (11-11, 4-6) lost to Illinois 3-0 on the road Saturday.

A moment of silence for former Gophers volleyball coach Mike Hebert, who died last week, will occur before Wednesday's match, and there will be a tribute to him during the intermission.
