Final regular season matchup will be tough against the 11th ranked team in the country

March 21, 2025

CORVALLIS, Ca. (March 20, 2025) – The Fisk University Bulldog Gymnastics team will travel out west for their final regular season meet against the 11^th ranked Oregon State University Beavers. The matchup is shaping up to be an exciting one. Fisk is on a roll with six consecutive wins, and having Morgan Price back in action adds even more strength to their lineup. On the other hand, Oregon State's perfect 7-0 home record makes them a formidable opponent. It's going to be a thrilling clash of talent and determination.

Fisk interim head coach Nuriya Mack is no stranger to the Oregon State program. Her sister Niya Mack competed for them. Niya is a manager for Fisk and will be traveling to her alma mater. The irony of this season is, Fisk's first meet this year was at Nuriya's old school Kent State.

"Oregon State has been very good for a long time," said interim head coach Nuriya Mack. "I'm glad Niya will get to experience what I experienced earlier in the season. We had a good week of practice, so I am excited to see how we look against a great team. Nationals is around the corner so we need to be sharp."

Event Details

The event is scheduled to be held at Gill Coliseum on March 21st, with the competition beginning at 5 PM (CST). Spectators can anticipate an impressive exhibition of routines and maneuvers as both teams compete for dominance.

What to Expect

The Bulldogs have demonstrated remarkable performance this season, and this meet will serve as a significant evaluation of their capabilities against a formidable opponent. Competing against the 11th ranked team in the nation in their final home game of the season presents a challenging task. The Oregon State fans are vocal and supportive, which Fisk will need to overcome to succeed. At their previous meeting, 9,000 OSU faithful were in attendance.
