TOWSON, Md. - Off to a fine start with a 6-0 record, the undefeated Towson University gymnastics team will put its perfect record on the line when the Tigers travel to Morgantown, West Virginia to face the Mountaineers and George Washington University on Sunday, January 29 at 1:00 p.m.

Coach Vicki Chliszczyk was very pleased with the progress that the Tigers made from their opening meet to their home opener.

Hopefully, we can keep getting better.”
