Minnesota will have four conference home meets next season
MINNEAPOLIS --Â The conference opponents for the 2026 Gopher women's gymnastics season have been announced by the Big Ten.
Minnesota will host conference home matches against Iowa, Michigan and UCLA next season. They'll travel to Nebraska, Penn State and Washington in addition to hosting Illinois, Rutgers and Michigan State in the 'Big 4' meet. The full schedule, including non-conference opponents, dates and times, will be released later this fall.
As a team, Minnesota posted a 25-7 (8-1 Big Ten) record in 2025. Minnesota finished second in the Big Ten regular season standings and took third at the Big Ten Championships. Hansen was named North Central Region Coach of the Year after another outstanding season in charge.
The team made the NCAA Regional Finals for the fourth time in the last five seasons (one of just two Big Ten teams to do so) and had an individual reach nationals for the second consecutive year. The second place conference finish is tied for the second-best ever in the Jenny Hansen era.
Four Golden Gophers earned All-Big Ten honors, including Mya Hooten making her five all-league team in five seasons. Jordyn Lyden, Sarah Moraw and Ava Stewart were named Second Team All-Big Ten while Stewart became the first freshman since 2021 to make the B1G All-Freshman Team. Hooten made nationals for the fourth time in her career, including her second straight year as an individual. Hooten won floor event titles in 11 of 15 meets, going 9.900-or-better 10 times.
