From the Coach
"I am extremely proud of how the team finished the meet strong," said head coach Kim Landrus. "They knew that we left tenths on the floor on both bars and beam. They definitely knew we were capable of so much more. After beam, our message to them was to finish strong. They went out and performed 'lights out' earning a season-high. I know we'll be ready to get out there and compete at home against a very strong New Hampshire team."
