"We’re always disappointed when we know we left things on the floor, but the other part of that is that they continued to show their fight and their grit. Our score was consistent with what’ve done all year," LSU coach Jay Clark said after the title meet. "Given the circumstances, I am just proud of their continued fight. Now, we move onto regionals."
The Tigers would earn the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Championships’ Denver Regional, which begins on March 31. LSU enters the regional ranked No. 6 in the nation.
