"Wow! What a night!" Head Coach Katie Minasola said. "The seniors had a great last meet in the Convocation Center. We hit 24 for 24 routines and it paid off. We were able to put it all together tonight and I am so proud of this team."
EMU started the night on vault, putting up a score of 48.750. Junior Allie Smith (Telford, Pa.-Souderton) led the way for the Green and White by putting up a 9.825, tying for first, and was followed by junior Emili Dobronics (Orland Park, Ill.-Carl Sandburg), and senior Ciara Gresham (Shiloh, Ill.-Belleville), both hitting 9.750s and tying for third. Senior Megan Hultgren (Rockford, Ill.-Sacred Heart Classical Center) chipped in a score of 9.725.
Moving over to bars for the second rotation, the Eagles scored a season-high of 48.975. Sophomore Cortney Bezold (Maineville, Ohio-Bishop Fenwick) had another stellar performance, leading Eastern with a score of 9.875, finishing first.

Dobronics and senior Carly Clark (White Lake, Mich.-Walled Lake Northern) contributed a 9.750 and 9.725, respectively.
Eastern entered the third rotation on beam with the lead over Kent State, 97.725-97.200, with 49.075 on the apparatus, tying its season-high at Bowling Green State University, Jan. 31. Freshman Shannon Gregory (Edison, N.J.-John P. Stevens) and Rondeau both nailed 9.850's, both new career-highs, tying for first. Dobronics stuck a 9.825, taking third, while Hultgren and freshman Caitlin Satler (Orland Park, Ill.-Carl Sandburg) posted 9.775's and tied for fourth.
