ERIE, Pa. – The Gannon acrobatics and tumbling team's short but home season continues on Monday with its home finale at another venue against another Top-10 team.

With reonvations being made at the team's home gym, the Highmark Events Center, the Golden Knights were originally scheduled to compete at Cathedral Prep's Hagerty Events Center. Due to scheduling conflicts, the Knights' home opener was moved to Penn State Behrend's Junker Center.

Gannon's home finale will take place against No. 7 Fairmont State on Monday at 6 p.m. at the Mercyhurst Athletic Center.

The Golden Knights, ranked No. 4 in the NCATA, enter the season with a 5-0 record that incudes three consecutive victories over Top-10 teams – No. 6 Frostburg State, No. 10 Belmont Abbey, and No. 5 Azusa Pacific.
Gannon will then close the regular season with road meets against No. 1 Baylor and No. 3 Quinnipiac.

Fairmont State comes to Erie with a 4-0 record that features wins over Glenville State, West Liberty, and Hawaii Pacific. The Falcons also own a forfeit victory over West Virginia State.

Fairmont's top score of the season has been a 269.145 in its season-opening win over Glenville.

Gannon's top score of 276.235 came in its season opener against Kutztown and East Stroudsburg.

Gannon's home finale on its two-game home schedule will also serve as Alumni Appreciation Night and Make-A-Wish Night.  In addition, the Gannon is dedicating the meet to Morgan's Message.
