2015 Schedule
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- The Eastern Michigan University gymnastics team released its schedule for the upcoming 2015 season, October 2. Under first year Head Gymnastics Coach Jay Santos, the Eagles will compete in 12 meets, including five at home.
EMU will kick off the 2015 campaign by hosting Temple in a Friday night dual, Jan. 9, at the Convocation Center. After hosting the 2014 Mid-American Conference Championships, the Convocation Center will take over as the primary home of EMU gymnastics meets, replacing Bowen Field House.
Following the season opener, MAC play begins with a trek to Mount Pleasant, Mich. to face Central Michigan, Jan. 17. One week later, Jan. 24, the Green and White returns home to host Bowling Green for a 4 p.m. start time. Ending the month, Coach Santos and his squad will head to Normal, Ill. for the annual Michigan/Illinois Challenge, Jan. 31. The unique quad meet features rivals Eastern and Central Michigan partnering up to square off against Prairie State institutions Illinois-Chicago and Illinois State.
The Eagles will start the month of February with a pair of home duals. First, conference foe Kent State arrives in Ypsilanti, Feb. 7, before Eastern faces Illinois-Chicago for the second time of the season, Feb. 15. The matchup with the Flames will be the first of three in a seven-day span. On Friday, Feb. 20, EMU will take on rival Western Michigan away from the friendly confines of the Convocation Center. However, the Green and White come back to Ypsilanti two days later, Feb. 22, for the final home meet of the 2015 season. In a battle of the birds, the Eagles face the Cardinals of Ball State for a Sunday matinee set to begin at 1 p.m.
Prior to the ending the season in Kent, Ohio for the 2015 MAC Championships, March 21, Eastern Michigan will have three road meets to prepare for the conference championships. The Eagles will make their furthest road trip of the year, Feb. 28, to St. Charles, Mo. to compete against Lindenwood. Following the lengthy road test, EMU returns to the home state for a tri-meet in East Lansing as Michigan State hosts the Eagles and Arizona, March 6. In the final action before the MAC Championships, the Eagles soar into DeKalb for a conference dual against Northern Illinois, March 15. Six days later, EMU and NIU will join up with Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan and Western Michigan in heading to the biggest meet of the year to decide the conference champion, hosted by Kent State, March. 21.
Eastern will look to begin the Santos era by improving upon its 6-9 (2-4 MAC) record during the 2014 campaign that ended in a sixth-place finish as hosts of the Mid-American Conference Championships. The Eagles faced four ranked teams throughout the season and won conference duals over Western Michigan and Ball State. Leading the Green and White in 2015 will be All-MAC First Team honoree Anna Willette alongside fellow seniors Chantelle Loehner, Carrina Lo Bello, Paulina Miller and Nikki Paterson.
