From the Coach
> "I'm proud of the girls," said head coach Josh Nilson. "I pulled them together and said, 'In 15 years you won't remember the score, you will remember if you had your teammates' backs.' And they did. We weren't perfect, but it's a whole lot more fun when you have a complete performance."
> "These three seniors bring the culture that I want. They take their training and academics seriously. They are just great people. And they are fantastic gymnasts. The biggest compliment I can give them is that I don't want to have to replace them. It's going to be tough. I'm so proud and them and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to coach them."
