Fortunately for the Gophers women's this was an exhibition game and they'll soon forget it..
Winona State might not. The Division II Warriors came to Williams Arena and found the new floor at The Barn to their liking. The baskets, too.
Winona State made 12 of 25 three-point attempts and stunned its Big Ten opponent 64-62 on Wednesday night before an announced crowd of 3,388.
This was not the script coach Pam Borton expected. In the past eight seasons, her teams had been 14-0 in exhibition games. The Gophers' closest margin of victory was 11 points.
Not this time. Natalie Gigler, a 6-foot forward, made a short, open baseline jumper with 1 second left to break a 62-62 tie. She finished with 10 points.
