DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Following a performance score of 90.9259 in the prelims of the National Cheerleaders Association College Nationals on Thursday, the Embry-Riddle cheerleading team received a 90.2407 in the finals on Friday. The Eagles' final score of 90.412 gave them an 11th-place result in the Intermediate Small Coed Division II. The placement matches the program's outcome in 2022, though ERAU faced 17 other teams on this occasion, four more than the previous year. 

The final score averages the point totals from the prelims and finals. The prelim performance is worth 25 percent while the final routine makes up the other 75 percent of a team's event score.

The Eagles received a raw score of 84.7333, which was tied for the fifth-highest in the division. However, ERAU also had 3.5 in deductions. 

Lindenwood held on to its day-one lead and was crowned national champion with a score of 96.9815. Defending champion Arkansas - Fort Smith (94.8542) grabbed second while Grand Valley State (94.1806) placed third.
