Coach's Corner - Comments from Cortland Head Coach Sulekha Modi Zaug:

Each floor routine today was stronger and stronger with spectacular dance and artistry. We showed up today nearly breaking the school record and had strong individual performances on bars as well. The team still has the potential for greatness and hasn't been able to put it all together yet. We are hoping next week at Regionals is our meet!
