From the Locker Room
"What a night for BGSU Gymnastics. This team is very talented, and it was amazing to see it all come together tonight with a season high score and many personal records. Such credit to this team for being unified and fighting for every tenth of every routine. As we move closer to MAC Championships, this is a great confidence booster. We will continue to look for every small detail to improve in our practices leading up to these final meets. I am so proud of this team." – Kerrie Turner, head coach
