CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The 2023 Midwest Independent Conference Championship took place on Friday night at a packed Houck Field House in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Southeast Missouri State registered a 195.525 to claim third place in the conference.

Head Coach Ashley Lawson on the team's performance: "After the blind draw last night, we knew we were starting on the floor which was not our first choice. I thought the girls did a great job of taking the circumstances and turning them into a positive to get us going on the right track. They competed the entire night and we gave ourselves a chance to win. It was not our night, but I am proud of the way they competed and gave it everything they had."
