On Floor Exercise, the team only had five competitors, though Lindsay Kovary led the way with a 9.575, Caliendo, and Porter had UNH’s 2nd and third scores.

MIT home opener.

MIT improved its team score by nearly four points, while their floor, beam, and vault scores remained stable, they picked up the rest of the score improvement on Bars entirely.

Sophia Harrison had a big scoring day picking up a 37.85 in the All Around, including a 9.725 on Bars, and a 9.4 on Vault, 9.275 on Beam, and 9.45 on Floor. These were also scoring improvements from last week. Fellow All Arounder Julia Zimmerman picked up a 37.0 up from last week and had a 9.65 on Floor, 9.45 on Vault, and 9.45 on Bars which improved from last week as well.

While Harrison and Trowbridge’s Bars scores were part of the score bump, Sarah Trowbridge’s 9.0 was also a big part. Laura Kelly, Katie Mingo, and Alison Barnard also contributed to the team scoring. Over on the Vault, Barnard, Kelly, and Kristen Watkins’ score contributed to MIT’s team effort. On the Beam, Mingo’s improved score, and Elizabeth Stavely’s first appearance on the event, went with Harrison and Trowbridge’s scores. On Floor, Stavely’s first appearance of the season in the event and Trowbridge’s score improvement went with Zimmerman and Harrison’s scoring.
