NQS: Qualification for national competition is based on a team's and an all-around competitor's six best regular-season meet scores, of which three must be away. To obtain the national qualifying score (NQS), the high score is eliminated and the remaining five scores are averaged. In former years, this was known as the Regional Qualifying Score (RQS), which was changed for the 2019 season to reflect the new post-season format.

BEAMING: Eastern Michigan continues to impress on beam, ranking second in the Mid-American Conference and 25th in the nation with an NQS of 48.790.

MAC TOP-10: Sophomore Raisa Boris has an NQS of 9.810 on bars, which is fifth in the Mid-American Conference in the event. Freshman Ella Chemotti leads the team on beam with an NQS of 9.825, which is tied for third in the conference. Furthermore, her 9.950 during the EMU Quad, Jan. 28, is the highest score in the league on the event this season.

RELIABLE BARS: Eastern Michigan is staying consistent this season on the uneven bars. The squad's NQS is currently 48.725 tied for third in the Mid-American Conference. Additionally, the lineup has not dropped out of the top three in the MAC all season.

LAST TIME VERSUS BGSU: Eastern Michigan saw Bowling Green most recently, March 7, 2021, at last season's EMU Quad meet. In the contest, EMU finished second, scoring 194.450, while BGSU totaled 194.300, claiming third place.
   Former Eagle Jada Rondeau and then-junior Shannon Gregory tied for second on floor with a 9.850. In addition, then-sophomore Hadyn Crossen (9.825) and 2021 graduate Cortney Bezold (9.850) both tied for third place on beam and bars, respectively.

LAST TIME VERSUS WMU: Western Michigan visited the George Gervin GameAbove Center this season, Jan. 28, participating in the EMU Quad. WMU came out on top in the meet, claiming first with a team score of 196.100. Eastern tied with Ball State in the competition, totaling 195.025.
