Rachel Banham was back in a big way for the Gopher women’s basketball team. She scored 22 points to help lead Minnesota to a 98-54 victory over Wofford in the Gophers’ season opener.
Banham was given a second shot at her senior season after tearing her ACL last year. It didn’t take her long to make a big impact in her return.
The #Gophers have set a new school record with 15 3-poiinters as a team!

It was the first game of an opening night doubleheader at Williams Arena. The Gopher men tip off their 2015-16 season against Missouri-Kansas City at 8 p.m.
