While the Gophers and Bison didn't meet on the pitch in 2010, they definitely saw each other in the middle of action. Minnesota, NDSU, Creighton and Texas A&M all participated in the same regional during the 2010 NCAA tournament with the Gophers hosting the first and second round games.

The Bison pushed the top-seeded Aggies of Texas A&M to a 1-1 tie before losing 4-3 on penalty kicks. Meanwhile, Minnesota would take down the Aggies 2-0 in the second round after topping Creighton 4-2 in its tournament opener. The pair of wins for the Gophers would push the team to a Sweet 16 appearance -- the team's second in three years.

Minnesota will also open the 2011 fall season with an exhibition game against NDSU on Aug. 12.
