The Gophers open up a four-game road stretch next weekend with a two-game series at Notre Dame. The series opens up on Friday at 6:00 p.m. CT.

Minnesota had its six-game win-streak snapped against Michigan State last Saturday. They look to get back on track against the Irish. Motzko said the team is practicing well and expects them to bouce back.

The Gophers (13-11-4 overall, 8-6-4-3 Big Ten) sit in a three-way tie for second place in the Big Ten Conference with Michigan State and Ohio State. Notre Dame is currently in fifth place.
