\nKEY QUOTES
\nCo-Head Coach Ryan Roberts<\/a>
\nOn the unique mindset of the team compared to others\u2026\u00a0
\n“They love what they do and that really shows when they’re on the floor. Not only that, we’ve done a lot of work with team cohesion, unity, and communication. All that creates an environment where they enjoy being together, competing together, and performing.”
\n\u00a0
\nOn Csenge B\u00e1cskay’s<\/a> season vault debut\u2026
\n“I was super proud of her. Not only was that her first time on vault this season, but the first time she’s competed since she had the UCL tear right before regionals last year. \u2029I think that’s a big deal to get some confidence for, and it also creates a situation where we have more depth on vault and can rely on a number of people. Vault for me is a big improvement from last year, and a big confidence booster for her.”

\nNyla Aquino<\/a> | So.
\nOn her mindset before her upbeat floor routine\u2026
\n“A lot of the time, I’m really just thinking about having fun, you know, I think being in SEC also is such a different experience because it feels like everybody’s in there doing the routine with you. So I really, a lot of the time, just really focus on taking it all in when we’re in Steg and, just living in the moment, not worrying too much about every little thing all the time because things usually come a lot easier when I’m just going with the flow, going with the motion.”
\n\u00a0
\nCsenge B\u00e1cskay | Sr.
\nOn what inspired her performances\u2026
\n“I got injured at the end of last season, and I told myself that my only goal was to come back this season even stronger and better, and I feel like I finally got there.”
