On the biggest stage of the season, the Gophers women’s gymnastics team fell just short in its attempt to reach the NCAA championships.
Minnesota couldn’t match performances from Oklahoma and Illinois on Saturday as it finished third at the regional meet, one spot short of advancing as a team.
“We gave it 100 percent effort, and we came up a little bit short,” head coach Meg Stephenson said.
Though the team failed to advance, sophomores Lindsay Mable and Hanna Nordquist both qualified for the individual portion of the NCAA meet.
