Shreveport - The Centenary College STUNT team made history on Sunday as the Ladies competed at home for the first time in program history, as they faced Muskingum University and McNeese State University inside the Gold Dome.
Along with playing at home for the first time ever, the team also played its first full STUNT game in program history, playing 16 rounds of play in game one.
In game one, Centenary was able to put seven points on the board against the number two preseason-ranked and 2025 DIII national runner-up Muskies. The Ladies were able to capture points in quarter two routine two when they tied for the pyramid tosses point. They also earned a score of within two in quarter three, routine four, and again in quarter four, routine four. They also outright won the point in quarter four, routine three from the Muskies.
"Game one was exhilarating!," said Centenary head coach Kaylee King.
"Playing for the first time in the Gold Dome exactly one year from the first date of competition for STUNT at Centenary was such a full circle moment. To stand there and watch these Ladies play a full sixteen rounds against a highly respected team, and still put points on the board, was a proud moment. We only talked about playing full games last season, and to have it happen this year made all of the talk and work worth it. I am proud of the showcase they gave for the crowd at Centenary and the material they put out in game one."
In game two, the Ladies faced familiar opponent and DI competitor McNeese State. The Lady Pokes were able to capture a 9-1 victory over the Ladies but not without a fight from Centenary to keep the score lower than their last face-to-face action. The Ladies were also able to place a point on the board, an improvement from the 12-0 game from last weekend in Lake Charles, La.
"For game two, the focus was strategy. What could we play that would keep the points low even if we wouldn't get the points either. This helped us push to keep McNeese under a 12-0 game like they had before against us. I was proud of the material that we put out on the mat and how hard the Ladies pushed to really finish out the day strong. The excitement felt when putting that final point on the board made it all that much sweeter."
"We can't say thank you enough to everyone who attended this historic day and for all of the support they showed our new NCAA national championship status team. It's such an honor to wear the "C" and to have the home crowd finally see what we've been working for was such a heartfelt moment."
The Ladies will return to action this weekend in the Saint Mary's Valentine Classic in South Bend, Ind.
