SPRINGFIELD - Missouri State STUNT (8-6) will travel to Martin, Tenn. on Saturday, March 14 to compete against Northern Kentucky, host UT Martin, and Maryville in a two-day, four-game slate.

"We are excited to get our levels on the floor this weekend in Martin. We have made adjustments to some of our lower levels that we think are going to help with the overall execution of the routines. We have also worked on cleaning and drilling a couple of levels that we haven't had the chance to compete with this season, so we are hoping to be able to get those on the floor and gain some confidence in those levels as we head into the second half of the season," stated head coach Kennedy Wingbermuehle.
