Glenville, W.Va. – The Glenville State Lady Pioneer Acrobatics & Tumbling team, under first year head coach Sarah Moreno, has qualified for nine at-large individual event finals at this year's 2018 NCATA National Championship hosted by Gannon University in Erie, Pa.

The tournament schedule begins on April 26 with the four quarterfinal meets. Third-seed Quinnipiac and sixth-seeded Fairmont State will open the tournament at noon (EST) before a battle between No. 2 Azusa Pacific and No. 7 Hawaii Pacific at 2 p.m. Top-seeded Baylor and No. 8 Converse will square off at 5 p.m. before No. 4 Oregon and tournament host Gannon conclude the day with a 7 p.m. meet.

In addition to the national championship qualifiers, the NCATA has also announced the at-large qualifiers for the individual event finals. The at-large qualifiers scored the highest individual heat score among eligible teams during the regular season, and multiple programs could qualify for the championships if tying for the highest qualifying score. The remaining qualifiers for the individual event championships will be determined by the top four scores in each individual heat among the tournament qualifiers on the first day of the NCATA Tournament.

Again, the Lady Pioneers qualified for eight individual events. Glenville State will compete in the Acro Five Element, Acro Six Element (10.0), Pyramid Synchronized (9.90), Pyramid Open, Toss 450 Salto (9.75), Toss Open (9.35), Tumbling Duo (9.15), Tumbling Aerial - Brianna D'Angelo (9.775), and Tumbling Open - Sarah DiSpaltro (9.80).
