CLINTON, S.C.  – In a matchup of Top 15 teams on Senior Day, the 14thranked Presbyterian College Blue Hose (0-5) Acrobatics & Tumbling team put together its best performance of the season in a tightly contested loss to the 4th-ranked Quinnipiac Bobcats (3-0), 271.410-255.730 at the Templeton Center. PC recorded a season-high points total.   

After the meet, the Blue Hose honored seniors Madeline Johnson, Ashlyn Getway, Annie Blakely, Elizabeth Grier, Morgan Todd, Maddie Watkins, Jaden Haley, Maya Cunningham, Ciera Carter, Amirah Boyd, and Shayla Snow who were competing in their final home meet.

"The seniors have displayed a lot of leadership this year," Presbyterian coach Kara Christian said.
