‘Cats Continue Road Trip at North Carolina State Friday (7 p.m.)

Raleigh, N.C. – The University of New Hampshire gymnastics team is back on the road to take on conference-rival North Carolina State on Friday, March 2 (7 p.m.) at Reynolds Coliseum.

UNH is currently ranked third in the EAGL conference with a Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) of 195.225, while NC State is in second (195.695 RQS).

"We love competing at NC State. The crowd is always knowledgeable and respectful of good gymnastics, regardless of the team," said head coach Gail Goodspeed.

"Both of these teams have extremely talented gymnasts and both teams have scored above a 196 this season. It should be an exciting meet that will come down to the details of sticking vaults and dismounts, hitting handstands on bars, staying solid on beam, and performing on floor. We look forward to a great competition," said Goodspeed.

3/2/2018 • 7 p.m. (ET)
UNH (7-4) • North Carolina State (12-6)
Reynolds Coliseum • Raleigh, N.C.
