Quotable-Head Coach Jay Ramirez
"We are extremely proud of these athletes for their adaptability," said Ramirez. "We lost five athletes this week that were in line up due to a myriad of things. The team that competed stepped up and became a team. Leading this way was
Lauren Bolen winning the all-around and vault title and scoring a top 10 vault score in Towson history and Ally Zuhlke with a top 10 bar score in history. All to cap off our season high score."
