The team was led by Lexi Castellaneta and Jamie Sklenar, each of whom topped the list of preliminary all-around results, tied at third overall with a pair of 28.725's through three events. Sklenar led the Golden Eagles on the vault with an even 9.600, followed by Eck's fifth-place 9.650 on the uneven bars and Castellaneta's 9.625 and 9.650 performances on the beam and floor.
 
Following this weekend's contest, the Golden Eagles only have three regular season meet's left before traveling to Springfield College for the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) East Regional Competition.
