No. 1 Baylor acrobatics and tumbling secured its ninth straight NCATA national championship, as it defeated No. 3 Gannon by a score of 272.220 to 269.315 on Saturday night at the Feaster Center in Fairmont, W.Va.
Head coach Felecia Mulkey tabbed her 13th national championship and ninth championship with Baylor (11-0). The Bears also won the championship in the same venue as the first time they brought hardware back to Waco in 2015.
In a post-meet press conference, Mulkey said she was proud of her team and that the squad worked hard to earn the victory.
