Among those was soccer player Mollie Kuramoto, who had a 4.0 semester. Kuramoto was one of only 18 Big Ten athletes who completed a perfect semester. The football team had 16 members honored, followed by 14 from the cross country teams, nine from the soccer team and six volleyball players. PURDUE PRIDE "Against Minnesota, this will really feel like their return visit in conference because we only played once during the season. That was a good matchup up in Minneapolis. I like where my team is at and they have been playing better throughout the second half of the season." Last weekend was a success across the conference as six of the seven Big Ten teams in the field advanced to the Sweet 16 round. The conference posted a 13-1 record in the first two rounds, best in the tournament. Michigan and Michigan State will face off this weekend after advancing through the sub-regional unseeded. No. 4 Nebraska will also be in action. "I think it is evidence of how strong this league is," Shondell said. "We had three non-seeded teams advance past the first weekend. I think that might show our league was a little under-seeded. "But I think most importantly, this is a very tough league." Shondell did a little tinkering with his lineup last weekend, substituting Catherine Rebarchak for freshman Annie Drews during the Colorado State victory and sticking with the veteran against the Seminoles.
