ROCKLIN, Calif. – Oklahoma City University faces host William Jessup (Calif.) in the NAIA College STUNT Nationals at 4:30 p.m. CDT (2:30 p.m. PDT) Friday at Warrior Arena.

STUNT is a head-to-head competition between two teams. STUNT is the fastest growing female sport at the collegiate and high school level. 
Teams perform the same routines against the opposing team, and scores are based purely on execution. Each contest features four quarters. The teams showcase different disciplines each quarter – partner stunts in the first quarter, pyramids and tosses in the second period, jumps and tumbling in the third and a team routine in the fourth.
