SPRINGFIELD - Missouri State head coach Tori Kimble announced the Bears' 2027 acrobatics and tumbling schedule Wednesday, revealing a seven-meet slate featuring three home meets and a road matchup with defending national champion Baylor.
Â
The Bears will open the season at home on Feb. 12, welcoming Augustana to Springfield for a 6 p.m. meet.
Â
"We are extremely excited to showcase what team 3 has in store. Our team has been working incredibly hard, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to challenge ourselves against strong competitors. Every meet is an opportunity for us to grow, compete with confidence, and showcase the standard we are building here at Missouri State," said head coach Tori.

Missouri State then travels to Waco, Texas, on Feb. 20 to face Baylor at 5 p.m. Baylor captured its 11th consecutive NCATA national championship last season with a 271.835-266.265 victory over Quinnipiac in the 2026 title meet.

The Bears return home Feb. 28 to host Duquesne at 3 p.m. before welcoming Concordia University Wisconsin on March 10 at 6 p.m. to close out the home portion of the regular-season schedule.

The regular season concludes April 3 with a rematch against Augustana in Sioux Falls, S.D., at 1 p.m.
