In their 63-52 loss Saturday at Creighton, the Gophers couldn’t stop Bluejays forward Sarah Nelson, who scored a game-high 22 points.
“Nelson played the four position, and she was extremely versatile,” Minnesota head coach Pam Borton said. “I thought she was a really tough matchup for our team.”
In Wednesday night’s game against Kansas, the Gophers will have to deal with another athletic post player — Chelsea Gardner.
Gardner scored 24 points and reeled in 13 rebounds in Kansas’ first game of the season.
