On Tuesday, Florida swept No. 2 Stanford on the road — the Gophers (2-2), who lost at home in four sets to No. 7 Texas on Tuesday, visit Palo Alto next weekend to face No. 6 Oregon on Friday and the Cardinal on Saturday in the Big Ten/Pac-12 Challenge.
Mckenna Wucherer led the Gophers with nine kills while Melani Shaffmaster had 16 assists and eight digs. Kylie Murr had 19 digs to lead the team, passing 2,000 for her career — she now has 2,007.
