"I am so proud of this team" said head coach Katie Minasola, "With so many changes, they adapted, and competed well. One thing We wanted to do is finish the meet strong, no matter what! It was great to get the freshman, Hadyn, and Molly out there. I am excited to get back in the gym and work on the cleaning up."
The night started for the Eagles on bars and it was the seniors, Jada Rondeau (Savage, Minn.-Central) and Cortney Bezold (Maineville, Ohio-Bishop Fenwick) who led the way for the squad, scoring 9.850 and 9.825, and claiming first and second place respectively. Rondeau tied her career-high as EMU jumped out to an early lead in the first rotation with a team score of 48.725.
