Carey Fagan Tonight Quotations

I was excited with our win over Illinois tonight. This is the first time we have beat a team ahead of us in the rankings. The scores tonight were tight and I think we performed better than last week even if the scores were lower. I am happy with the win.

We had some mistakes tonight that we need to work on in the gym. Overall, I'm happy with the girl's performance and we just need to clean up the little things.

I was pleased with our performance tonight in a pressure-packed situation. We're looking forward to improving on a couple events next year but overall our performance tonight was a big improvement from last year.

We improved our team score tonight and the balance beam was much better. It was a difficult loss. It felt like we have the ability to be like Michigan State. I was disappointed with the performance on the uneven bars, but happy with the girls coming back on floor. They did a great performance on floor.

It was disappointing to lose to Pittsburgh tonight. We were sloppy tonight and didn't have the clean landings like we did at West Virginia, so those tenths added up in the team score. We always want to see the team constantly improve but there were no major mistakes. We just need to get the routines cleaner and move on to Denver next week.
