Don’t let the national rankings fool you—all seven MAC teams fit between today’s competitors at No. 40 and No. 56, making it an incredibly tight conference. The Cardinals currently lead the group of seven, with the Eagles looking to improve from seventh to close out their weekend in Ypsilanti. Both teams are entering the second meet of their weekends, coming off of season best team scores: 193.575 for Eastern Michigan, and a program record 196.550 for Ball State.
Eyes will be on Suki Pfister, a key specialist for today’s conference match up and the perennial MAC vault favorite, who’s now broken into Ball State’s floor lineup and holds a program record for the event. Ella Chemotti will look to play an equally important specialist role for the Eagles, notching a team-best 9.925 on beam earlier in the weekend. This afternoon’s all-around battle will also likely have four names in the running: Ball State’s Victoria Henry and Hannah Ruthberg, and Eastern Michigan’s Raisa Boris and Molly Parris.
