From the Coach
"Any time you're able to win against UNC-Chapel Hill it is great, but looking more at the performances today I saw a lot of improvements from last weekend," said head coach Kim Landrus. "The big difference today was we cut down on the little mistakes. However, you are only allowed to have one major mistake on an event, and today we had two on beam. It's something we will learn from though. We'll get back to the gym and continue working on the details which were much improved today. There's still so much room for this team to grow."
