DeKalb — The gymnastics team dropped to 1-5 on the season, falling to the Kent State University Golden Flashes on the road Friday in its first Mid-American Conference matchup of the season.
“Obviously our record is not showing what we’re capable of, but we’ve gone against some pretty good teams,” said Head Coach Same Morreale. “We’re [competitive] in all these meets so I think they’re feeling good about that. For us, the improvement and the success we’re having in day-to-day competition, that’s what we’re trying to build off of.”
NIU lost by a close margin to a team who was labeled as the top-ranked team in the MAC coming into the season.
