Top 10 match up awaits No. 5 Auburn as the Tigers host No. 9 LSU

AUBURN, Ala. – The No. 5 Auburn gymnastics team is set to host No. 9 LSU on Friday, February 10, in Neville Arena. The top 10 match up will be televised on SEC Network with first vault coming at 7:30 p.m. CT.

"It's an exciting time to be a part of all this," head coach Jeff Graba said. "We have a huge SEC match up coming to town and we can't wait to be with the fans in our own arena. Both teams need a big score so it's going to be a fun night.

"LSU returned quite a few people from last year's squad and are always a great team," Graba added. "They are going to come in ready to go. They're powerful and strong, which means they are going to throw big gymnastics. We have to be ready to counter."

Neville Arena is once again sold out to see the two Tiger teams face off.

"Nothing beats our crowd on a Friday night," Graba said. "We can't wait to feed off the energy our fans put out there."

"This is going to be the most exciting meet in Neville Arena this year," sophomore Sophia Groth said. "We're looking forward to the high energy and can't wait to put on a show for the Auburn fans."
