From the Locker Room
"I am please the team was able to achieve our best road score today. We had to really fight on bars, and no one gave up. Amazing finish by Izzy Rivelli on that event. The team really pulled together and did a great job on vault and floor. I am seeing more confidence on beam - however we can do a stronger job of every routine hitting at the end of the competition. Our team goal is to score a 196 and we are going to need to be more confident and compete aggressively from here on out. I know we are capable of it, and I can't wait for this team to hit that mark. We will be working this week to refine skills before we head to Washington at the end of the week.– Kerrie Turner, BGSU gymnastics head coach
