The Eagles represented a different color at the invitational, in an effort to “Go Pink”. The gymnastics team raised money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation to help contribute to the research of finding a cure.
With the loss the Eagles fall to 4-10 (2-4 MAC), while the Golden Flashes improve to 11-2-1 (5-1 MAC).
