NIU gymnastics: Huskies drop match at Ball State

By Northern Star staff

Gymnastics scored its lowest output in nearly four weeks as it lost to the Ball State Cardinals over the weekend.

The Huskies (8-3, 3-2 MAC) lost to the Cardinals (2-7, 2-3 MAC), 194.2-193.225, Friday in Muncie, Ind. It was the Huskies’ lowest score since they posted a 192.525 in a Feb. 1 loss at the Western Michigan Broncos.

Ball State won three of the four events. NIU registered its lone win on the uneven parallel bars as sophomore Jamyra Carter scored a 9.8.

The Huskies return to action with the State of Illinois Classic 6 p.m. Saturday at the Convocation Center. They welcome the Illinois Fighting Illini, the Illinois State Redbirds and the Illinois-Chicago Flames.
