Coach's Corner - Comments from Cortland Head Coach Sulekha Modi Zaug:

This team is putting their heart and soul into each routine, striving for perfection, and fighting to be the best they can be. For the second week in a row we have received the second highest team scores in the region. Our goal is to continue on the quest for hit routines and working on making them cleaner and cleaner. Nearly halfway through the regular season and we are making some big moves with individuals ranked high on the national leaderboard in their events.
