Gopher Women To Host Cleveland State In Rare Noon Game

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Gophers women's basketball team has an unusual start time for the next home game: noon.

Minnesota will host Cleveland State at Williams Arena on Wednesday in the atypical midweek matinee. The game has been dubbed Gophers Kids Field Trip Day, with local elementary schools bringing students to watch the game over lunch.

The Gophers opened the season with a 109-60 victory over Southeastern Louisiana. Three players scored 20 or more points for the first time since 2003, and Rachel Banham became the fourth player in program history to pass the 2,000 career points mark.

Minnesota's first road game is Sunday at Memphis.
