KEY QUOTES
Georgia Co-Head Coach Ryan Roberts
"Overall, we are pleased with our performance and how we rallied after an unfortunate start. Of course, we don't want to start with a series of falls but that is only going to fuel this team moving forward. We saw a lot of grit and resilience after the beam falls. Anya Turner turned it around for us on that event. We'll make some adjustments in floor exercise and that event will be there. We were very pleased with vault and bars! We were the top team score of the meet in both events so we just need to continue what we are doing and continue improvement there.

"We were excited about Nicole King getting back out there after a potential career-ending injury her freshmen year. And it was great to see Kara Eaker back and performing well in exhibition in beam. We were excited to see some excellent freshmen performances as well as some solid execution from Ady Wahl and Lily Smith. Up from here!"
