FROM THE LOCKER ROOM
"I am proud of this team. We have had to work and battle quite a bit this year. I think that battle has made us that much stronger. What we are doing and what we are putting out there, we are at the point where we know we can work on the details and when we do those details, we know we are going to be rewarded for it. I told the team right after vault warmup that all three teams in the arena had a double-meet weekend. It is going to be who is ready to come out swinging and fight for every little thing and be ready to step up and have a great weekend all together. Being able to go to Illinois State (on Friday) and being able to start on floor and end on beam, and then to come home and turn around in a day and a half time, that is huge for this program and that is huge for this team and all the credit to them." – Brittney Emmons, BGSU gymnastics head coach
