TEMPE, Ariz. - Selections for the six NCAA Women's Gymnastics Regional competitions were announced on Monday, with 16th-ranked Arizona State being sent to the Region 3 meet in Tucson, Ariz.
The Sun Devils will compete at the McKale Center on April 1 at 6:00 p.m. against #5 Nebraska, eighth-ranked LSU as well as host Arizona, Missouri, and Illinois-Chicago. ASU drew a competition rotation in which it will open the meet with a bye, then compete on the uneven bars and balance beam before another bye, and finish on the floor exercise and vault.
The two highest scoring teams in Tucson will advance to the NCAA Championships, held April 13-15 in Boise, Id., where they will compete from the top two finishers from each of the five other regional competitions.
