FROM THE LOCKER ROOM
"This was a huge testament to what we have been doing all fall, during this entire season and i'm super proud of the resilience shown by these athletes, because in our sport that's a lot to be able to do in a short amount of time, but this was great for them to be ankle to go out there and be under this piece where it's going to set us up for conference super well, especially this past four meets in general for us and gives us that confidence to go into this next part of the season." -Brittney Emmons, BGSU gymnastics head coach
