LAST TIME OUT Last weekend, the Golden Gophers split, winning on Friday, and losing on Sunday. On Sept. 11 Katie Bethke scored twice in a 3-2 win over Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and on Sept. 13, a lone second half goal was enough for Marquette as they held on to beat Minnesota 1-0. NEXT UP After hosting the Minnesota Gold Classic, the Golden Gophers jump in to Big Ten play the following weekend. The conference season begins at home on Sept. 24 against Iowa.

MINNESOTASOCCER CAREER HIGH FOR BETHKE With her two-goal performance against Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Katie Bethke raised her season goal mark to five. The five spot already bests the four she scored last season, and ties her career high from the 2007 season. Also her 10 points this season match last season’s total. SHOOTER Bethke is currently second in the Big Ten in shots with 26 on the season, just four behind the league leader. She is the only Golden Gopher this season to tally at least one shot in every match. BIG TEN FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK Cat Parkhill was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Sept. 7 following her two-shutout performance on 9/4 and 9/6. Parkhill stopped all four shots she saw, playing 200:00 minutes of scoreless soccer. It was the first Big Ten honor of Parkhill's career, and the first of the season for the Golden Gophers.

8TH IN THE REGION The Golden Gophers check in at #8 in the Great Lakes Regional Poll this week, after placing seventh last week. Minnesota has been ranked among the top-10 in the region every week this season. Seven other Big Ten teams join the Golden Gophers in the regional.

SHUT ‘EM OUT, SHUT ‘EM OUT Entering the week, Cat Parkhill is alone in second place on the Big Ten list for shutouts. Her four on the season are just one behind Lauren Robertson of Ohio State. UNBEATEN STREAK The win over Wisconsin-Milwaukee capped a season-long four-game unbeaten streak four Minnesota. It was their longest such streak since the Golden Gophers won six straight from 10/19 to 11/7 last season.

NATIONAL POLLS The Golden Gophers have fallen out of the Top-25 for the first time this season. Minnesota was #23 last week, but after splitting their last two matches find themselves on the outside looking in. They are not completely out however, as they still received 25 votes. This week also snaps the Golden Gophers run of 10 straight weeks in the NSCAA Top-25 poll.

NEWS & NOTES

RANKED OPPONENTS The Golden Gophers have faced one ranked opponent this season, falling to then #16 Georgia on Aug. 28. The loss dropped their record to 2-12-0 against ranked teams under Mikki Denney Wright. Of teams currently ranked, three remain on Minnesota’s schedule in #11 Purdue, #22 Indiana, and #25 Ohio State.

IN THE TOURNAMENT For the first time this season, Minnesota plays a weekend set and will not see a team that played in the NCAA Tournament last season. Against five teams this season who were tournament qualifiers in 2008, the Golden Gophers are 2-2-1.

AND HERE’S THE APPROACH Katie Bethke is approaching a pair of top-10 career lists with her fast start to the season. With 40 career points she is six away from 10th all-time and with 14 career goals she is four away from 10th all-time. PERFECT 10 Cat Parkhill’s 10 saves against Wisconsin-Milwaukee on 9/11 stand as the best single game in the Big Ten this season. The 10 stops also mark a career high for Parkhill.

BIG TEN FIRST With two goals on 9/6 along with her two assists on 8/21, Molly Rouse became the first player in the Big Ten this season to have a multi-goal and multi-assist match. She has since been joined by Alyssa Cosnek of Iowa.

TOUGH TO BEAT AT THE ROBBIE The Golden Gophers will take their 15-match home unbeaten streak into the Robbie this weekend. Minnesota has went 14-0-1 in their last 15 home matches. They last lost at the Robbie on 11/8/07, falling 3-4 on penalty kicks, after tying Illinois 2-2 in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament.

THAT IS NOT ALLOWED The Golden Gophers have allowed just five goals through seven matches, putting them among the Big Ten’s best. They are currently tied in third place with Wisconsin, behind first place Michigan State (1) and second place Ohio State (4).
