ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 3-ranked University of Michigan men's gymnastics team (6-1) will return home on Saturday (Feb. 14) to host No. 11 Springfield (6-5) and Arizona State (8-0) at Cliff Keen Arena at noon. The meet will be streamed live on B1G+.
Notes

Illinois had a solid vault performance, but a low score on the parallel bars and high bar was enough for Michigan to widen the gap and secure the win.
