Dalianliz Rosado and Daly Santana have known each other for years going all the way back to their elementary school days in Puerto Rico. They grew up 11 miles away from one another, playing against each other in club and high school volleyball before becoming teammates on Puerto Rican National Teams. Both were recruited by the Gophers and both chose Minnesota without knowing the other was being recruited.

Now here, more than 2,400 miles from home, growing closer than they've ever been. Learn more in this feature from Gopher Digital Productions in the first episode of "Minnesota In-Focus".

For another in-depth look at the relationship between Santana and Rosado, be sure to read the September 2015 issue of "Ski-U-Mah" the official magazine of Gopher Athletics. Click here to read.
