From the Locker Room
"The team showed so much fight today. While we didn't hit every event, they never gave up and they showed strong character all the way to the last routine. It was exciting to see some of our individuals achieve personal bests as we prepare for the MAC championships." – Kerrie Turner, BGSU head coach
