ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Despite placing first in all four events, the Central Michigan gymnastics team saw its season come to an end in heartbreaking fashion on Thursday with a loss to Illinois in an NCAA Regional first-round matchup at Michigan's Crisler Center.

Illinois finished with a 195.325 team score; the Chippewas finished at 195.275.

"We knew head to head that this was going to be an evenly matched competition and it was going to come down to one-hundredth of a point and it did," CMU associate coach Christine MacDonald said.
