BGSU gymnastics posted their season best vault score of 48.825 and topped their previous over-all high score at 193.750, while competing at Central Michigan.
Despite the Falcon’s progression, it was still not enough to beat the Chippewas overall score of 195.975.
“I am pleased with the progress we made today. We continue to build our line-ups and that is showing in the results,” Head Coach Kerrie Turner said.
BG has yet to win a meet with a 0-7 record, while Central Michigan advances to 3-3.
