From the Coach
> "A lot of great things happened today," said head coach Josh Nilson. "Ariana Castrence won the all-around, and was able to upgrade her vault to a double twisting Yurchenko. The vault team also broke the program record with a 49.15. We got edged out by Yale and Maryland, but overall the team hung together and worked through the mistakes. I believe that they will be sharp and ready to defend their conference title in McGonigle on March 21."

Up Next
> The Cherry and White return to home on Friday, March 6 for the first time in over a month to host Bowling Green and Penn for Alumni Night. Competition is set to begin at 7 p.m. in McGonigle Hall.
