“Tonight was a bit of a roller coaster meet for us. There were several really high moments and then just one too many missed opportunities. We’re at the time of the year where we just missed too many routines that we really should be hitting. We’re going to dig into those as a team, but we fell out of the moment too many times and we’ve got to stay focused. We’ve got to stay in control of the moment right in front of us to be able to give it everything we got. We’ve got to get better at that. We need to commit to being better at that next week as we have a great opportunity at Michigan. So, we’re going to learn from it, put it behind us and then do everything we can to have a great score, a great performance next week to set us up going into postseason.”
