Freshman Asad Jooma soared on the vault and landed a 13.750, and freshman Victor Bello followed suit earning a 13.450 on the event while Hudson finished the day with a 13.200. 

"Now we've got two weeks and a lot of work to do," said Nelson. 

The Flames will break for a week as they prepare to host the 2017 ECAC Championships inside the UIC Pavilion on Saturday, April 8 at 2 p (CT).
