Second-Best Ever Team Score Leads Gymnastics to Sweep

TOWSON, Md. – For the second time in three days at SECU Arena, the Towson University women's gymnastics team put up one of the best scores in program history as the Tigers notched a 196.700 to sweep a quad-meet.

Towson (10-2, 4-2 EAGL) remained unbeaten at home this year, improving to 8-0 at SECU Arena, thanks to four 49.000 or better efforts, another program first. Towson's combined 196.700 was the second-best score in program history, trailing only a 196.800 from March 10, 2000

Reigning East Atlantic Gymnastic League (EAGL) champion Temple finished second, a full two points behind Towson with a 194.650. Eastern Michigan was third with a 194.575 while LIU finished fourth with a 193.350.

The Tigers tied a program-record on vault, scoring a 49.250. On bars, the Tigers logged a 49.025 before a 49.175 on beam, the third-best beam score in program history. Towson capped the night with a second 49.250, this time on floor thanks to a near-perfect 9.95 from Amy Stewart, the third time in program history a Tiger has hit a 9.95 on floor. There have been two 10s on the floor for the Tigers.

Towson had two event winners, Emerson Hurst on beam (9.925) which included a 10 from the event's head judge, and Amy Stewart's 9.95 on floor, scoring the same from each judge.
