ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 10-ranked University of Michigan women's gymnastics team will make its 35th NCAA Regional appearance as it travels to Baton Rouge, La., for competition at LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center from Wednesday through Saturday, April 1-5.

Joining the Wolverines in Baton Rouge will be No. 2 LSU, No. 7 Stanford, No. 15 Clemson, North Carolina, Utah State, Auburn, Air Force and Nebraska.
In the NCAA regional format, each of the four regional sites will feature four sessions over three days.
