From the Coach
> "I'm glad that the team kept fighting through beam," said head coach Josh Nilson. "We overcame some strange situations, and overall I am proud of their fight. Vault, bars, and floor went well, not perfect, but complete. At the end of the day, a conference win is definitely a positive, but we have higher expectations than that. I don't think any of us are satisfied with our performance, but I trust this team and believe in them. They will come back strong. We have 8 more regular season meets to go."

> The Owls will continue their road stretch on Saturday, Feb. 15 as they travel to Bowling Green to take on the Falcons and Illinois State. The tri-meet is set to begin at 2 p.m. in Anderson Arena.
