DEKALB, Ill. – Illinois State gymnastics travels to DeKalb to compete against Northern Illinois inside of the Convocation Center on March 6 at 6 p.m.
Thoughts from Coach Conkling:
"This will be the second time we've competed against NIU this season. This time may be a little more difficult since we are still dealing with some athletes unable to compete and NIU has been scoring higher since the last time we competed against them. We are going to have to be on our "A" game this Friday and push for hitting all of our routines."
