SKYHAWK STUNT EARNS FIRST VICTORY IN SCHOOL HISTORY ON OPENING DAY OF INAUGURAL 2024 SEASON
3/3/2024 11:02:00 PM | STUNT
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Competing in an official capacity for the first time, the University of Tennessee at Martin STUNT team wrapped up its program debut with a win over Central Arkansas at the Simon Athletic Center on the campus of Maryville University.
The Skyhawks played two games on their first day of competition, falling 24-0 to NCAA Division II nationally ranked powerhouse this morning before bouncing back strong with a 20-6 triumph over fellow Division I and Mid-America West conference rival Central Arkansas in the afternoon.
UT Martin held a 4-1 edge after the first quarter (partner stunts) against Central Arkansas and expanded that lead to 7-3 at the halftime break, outscoring the Bears 3-2 in the second quarter (pyramids and tosses).
The Skyhawks led by a 10-3 margin after tacking on three more points in the third quarter (jumps and tumbling). The victory was then capped off by a dominant effort in the fourth and final quarter (team routine) – putting up 10 points on the scoreboard to Central Arkansas' three.
Emily Hartley led UT Martin against Central Arkansas with 18 points while Emmy Melton, Alexa Stock, Jade Reed and Emily Wood each had 13 points apiece.
A home tournament is next up as UT Martin hosts a six-team event on Saturday, March 9 through Sunday, March 10. A total of 12 games will take place inside the Skyhawk Fieldhouse as UT Martin takes part in its first official home games.
