The Gopher women's basketball team will play this season without forward Kayla Hirt of Bemidji.  She tore her anterior cruciate ligament in her knee.  Head coach Pam Borton is disappointed but is confident she'll return better than ever.

The Gopher women's basketball team began practice this weekend and will play an exhibition game against St. Cloud State at Williams Arena on November 2.
