The meet is set for a 1 p.m. start inside Carmichael Gymnasium.

From The Coach's Perspective

This weekend should be a great meet that will provide us with some solid conference competition, as we'll face UNC and Pittsburgh along with Bowling Green. Our goal is to hit every routine and do the best that we can as a team, and if we achieve those goals we have a great chance of scoring well."
