ERIE, Pa. - The Gannon acrobatics and tumbling team wraps up its inaugural regular season Saturday, April 12 against Alderson Broaddus at the Hammermill Center. The dual meet is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Ticket windows open at 1 p.m. Admission cost $5 for adults and $3 for non-Gannon students and senior citizens. All Gannon students are admitted free of charge by showing their school ID at the front door. Tickets can also be purchased in advance online at www.gusportstickets.com.

Saturday will be Senior Day as three Lady Knights will be honored prior to the meet. Heidi Frynkewicz (Ambridge, Pa./Ambridge Area), Erin Harris (Rochester, N.Y./Rush Henrietta) and Amanda Till (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) will be honored for participating in the last home meet of their collegiate careers. The Senior Day festivities are scheduled to begin approximately 1:50 p.m.

Erie Gymnastics and Lakettes Gymnastics athletes are scheduled to perform during halftime and between team events. Gannon Associate Director of Campus Ministry Brent Heckman, Gannon Writing Center Student Tutor James Marsh and Gannon North Hall Student Aide Nick Tabar will sing the national anthem.

Gannon evened its record at 4-4 overall with a dominating 277.19-241.7 victory against Adrian last Saturday at the Hammermill Center, completing a season sweep of the Bulldogs. In the process, the Lady Knights set season-highs in points and margin of victory.

Head coach Chelsea Shaw's squad nipped Alderson Broaddus 269.015-267.84 during a tri-meet with King (Tenn.) on March 9. Trailing the Battlers 170.84-168.435, Gannon came through in the clutch. The Lady Knights ripped off a stellar team event performance that produced a 100.58 score. The result topped the Battlers by 3.58 points to pull off an electrifying last-event victory

Alderson Broaddus (3-7) is coming off a pair of losses to Fairmont State (274.23-272.03) and Quinnipiac (281.89-272.03) during a home tri-meet last Saturday. The Battlers have dropped five of their last six decisions. Much like Gannon, Alderson Broaddus is competing in its inaugural campaign. The Battlers' roster includes 20 freshmen and two sophomores.

Saturday's home meet will consists of six events - compulsory (four heats), acro (three heats, 45 seconds length), pyramid (three heats, 60 seconds length), toss (three heats), tumble (six heats) and team (one heat, 2:30 length). There will be a 15-minute halftime after the pyramid event, before the night concludes with the final three competitions.
