Potential Lineups: EAGL

The EAGL was one of the most exciting conferences to watch in 2020, as five of its six teams were on the cusp of qualifying to regionals before the season was cut short. It will lose a strong group of seniors, but gains a good number of freshmen and transfers to help fill the gaps. 2021 also marks the first season for LIU, the first Division I women’s program to be added to the NCAA since Arkansas in 2003. 

While there’s still so much uncertainty surrounding the upcoming season, it’s business as usual until we hear otherwise. That means it’s time for our annual potential lineups analysis! With preseason training in full swing for most teams, we’re breaking it all down and taking a look at every squad’s prospects for 2021—from who’s expected to contribute, holes that need to be filled and exciting upgrades fans should look out for.

Note: Since LIU will have its inaugural season in 2021, there’s a lot more to cover. The Sharks will have their own, separate article. Stay tuned!

No. 23 N.C. State

N.C. State had a great season in 2020, and would likely have avoided the first round of regionals had the season not been cancelled. The Wolfpack loses eight routines from its senior class, but it brings in a strong freshman class of four that should make an immediate impact.

Losses: Alexis Beucler (VT, BB, FX), Melissa Brooker (UB), Drew Grantham (AA), Hailey Mesmer
Gains: Madison Benson, Brooke Conley, Gabrielle Diaz, Carina Jordan, Grace Hunter (transfer from Bridgeport)
Returning From Injury: Nicole Webb (unknown lower leg injury)

Vault

Potential Contributors: Emily Shepard (9.855 NQS), Chloe Negrete (9.800), Lauren Kent (9.725), Katie Cox (9.665), Madison Benson, Gabrielle Diaz, Brooke Conley, Carina Jordan

How It Looked Before: Vault was the Wolfpack’s lowest ranked event in 2020, as it lacks the difficulty and execution to be on par with its other three events.

How It Looks Now: Despite losing strong vaults from Alexis Beucler and Drew Grantham, N.C. State’s vault lineup is in good shape. Madison Benson brings an Omelianchik, and Gabrielle Diaz has a yurchenko one and a half. Potentially having two vaults with a 10.0 start will help the lineup tremendously. Carina Jordan and Brooke Conley both have strong Yurchenko fulls, which will also bolster the lineup.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Vault should be much better in 2021.

Bars

Potential Contributors: Lauren Kent (9.835 NQS), Meredith Robinson (9.835), Emily Shepard (9.830), Katie Cox (9.825), Brooke Conley, Carina Jordan, Gabrielle Diaz

How It Looked Before: Bars was a strong event for N.C. State in 2020, ranking 25th in the country.

How It Looks Now: The Wolfpack’s best four bar workers will return in 2021. In addition, freshmen Conley and Jordan both bring clean routines that should contend. Diaz is also an option for this lineup but will need to work on consistency a bit to crack the top six. 

Trending up, down or too early to tell? With key returners and strong routines from the freshmen, expect bars to be even better for the Wolfpack this season.

Beam

Potential Contributors: Chloe Negrete (9.870 NQS), Lauren Kent (9.815), Kasey Nelson (9.740), Kailin Foland (9.730), Nicole Webb (9.738 AVG), Emily Shepard (9.725), Madison Benson, Carina Jordan, Gabrielle Diaz

How It Looked Before: Beam was another strong event for the Wolfpack in 2020, ranking 25th in the country as well.

How It Looks Now: Nicole Webb’s return will be a welcome boost to the lineup after she missed the majority of the 2020 season with injury. Emily Shepard only competed the event once in 2020, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see her become a regular part of the lineup in 2021. Beam is probably the weakest event overall for the freshmen, but Benson is the most likely to contend with a powerful routine, including a huge double back dismount. Both Jordan and Diaz could also factor in if they can improve their consistency.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? With the bulk of the lineup returning in 2021, expect beam to stay relatively the same in 2021.

Floor

Potential Contributors: Emily Shepard (9.830 NQS), Chloe Negrete (9.815), Kasey Nelson (9.805), Lauren Kent (9.775), Nicole Webb (9.830 NQS in 2019), Madison Benson, Carina Jordan, Gabrielle Diaz, Brooke Conley

How It Looked Before: Floor was the Wolfpack’s highest ranked event in 2020 with the 23rd best team in the country.

How It Looks Now: Three freshmen bring E passes on floor—Benson and Diaz have full ins and Jordan has a triple twist. While Conley does not have the difficulty of her classmates, her routine is clean and could contend for a spot as well.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Expect floor to be even better than it was last season.

Overall Outlook

Despite losing several strong contributors, the Wolfpack should not take too much of a hit in 2021 with the addition of a strong freshman class. The big question N.C. State will need to answer in 2021 is whether or not it can bring its vault lineup up to the level of its other lineups. If it can, the Wolfpack could make a splash on the national scene.

No. 35 Pittsburgh

After a record breaking 2020 season, Pittsburgh will lose half of its 24 routines going into 2021. While the Panthers bring in some strong newcomers, they will also be relying on injury returners to fill the holes.

Losses: Michaela Burton (UB, BB, FX), Rachel Dugan (UB), Deven Herbine (VT, BB, FX), Alecia Petrikis (VT, FX), Haley Brechwald (medical retirement; VT, UB, BB), Sophie Bochenek (no longer on roster)
Gains: Faith Lerro, Trinity Macy, Nay’yarrah Winder, Kailey Gillings (transfer from Arkansas)
Returning From Injury: Katrina Coca (Achilles), Katie Chamberlain (ACL), Caitlyn Kline (elbow)

Vault

Potential Contributors: Ciara Ward (9.815 NQS), Emily Liszweski (9.755), Olivia Miller (9.735), Jordan Ceccarini (9.690), Katie Chamberlain, Lauren Beckwith, Reaia Floyd, Trinity Macy, Nay’yarrah Winder 

How It Looked Before: Vault was a great event for Pittsburgh in 2020, as it broke the program record on the event twice.

How It Looks Now: Pittsburgh will lose three strong vaulters from its 2020 lineup. It will be a tall order for the lineup to match its 2020 results, as vault is not the strongest apparatus for the incoming freshmen. Trinity Macy has a Yurchenko full that has the potential to crack the lineup, and Nay’yarrah Winder competes a handspring front pike. While Winder’s vault only starts from a 9.9, if she can consistently control the landing, it has the potential to be in the lineup and score well. Despite not competing vault in 2020, sophomores Lauren Beckwith and Reaia Floyd both had solid Yurchenko fulls in level 10 and could make the lineup as well.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? It’s too early to tell at this point, as a lot of the lineup’s success will depend on gymnasts who have never competed vault before in college.

Bars

Potential Contributors: Ciara Ward (9.780 NQS), Reaia Floyd (9.745), Christina Weiss (9.720), Caitlyn Kline (9.100 AVG), Olivia Miller (9.775 NQS in 2019), Kailey Gillings, Katie Chamberlain, Katrina Coca, Trinity Macy, Faith Lerro

How It Looked Before: Bars was a good event for Pitt in 2020, led by Michaela Burton, who had the highest bars NQS in the conference.  

How It Looks Now: Like vault, Pitt loses half of its bar lineup from 2020, but unlike vault, it’s a lot more obvious where these replacement routines will come from. Olivia Miller, who did not compete bars in 2020, should be back in the lineup in 2021. Katrina Coca, who missed 2020 with an Achilles injury, should slot nicely into the anchor position that Burton held last season. Freshmen Macy and Faith Lerro both have clean bar routines and should contend. While Kailey Gillings only competed bars once at Arkansas, she is lovely on the event and should contend as well. 

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Despite the loss of Burton, expect bars to stay the same or even improve in 2021.

Beam

Potential Contributors: Jordan Ceccarini (9.765 NQS), Kiley Robatin (9.700), Lauren Beckwith (9.430), Olivia Miller (9.770 AVG), Emily Liszewski (9.217), Kailey Gillings, Katie Chamberlain, Trinity Macy

How It Looked Before: Despite a rocky start to the season, beam ended up being one of the Panthers’ most reliable events in 2020.

How It Looks Now: Pittsburgh loses several great beamers from 2020 but has a few options to fill the gaps. Like with bars, Gillings only competed beam a few times for Arkansas but has the skills to make Pitt’s lineup. Freshman Trinity Macy also has a clean set and should contend. If healthy, Katie Chamberlain could also be a game changer on this event.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? It’s too early to tell. Like with vault, this event will depend on how well the newcomers do.

Floor

Potential Contributors: Olivia Miller (9.810 NQS), Ciara Ward (9.780), Jordan Ceccarini (9.771 AVG), Kiley Robatin (9.665), Katie Chamberlain, Emily Liszewski, Trinity Macy, Nay’yarrah Winder

How It Looked Before: Floor was a good event for Pitt in 2020, led by now graduated seniors Burton and Alecia Petrikis.

How It Looks Now: Replacing the routines from the seniors will be difficult, but Pitt will have plenty of options. Sophomore Emily Liszewski did not compete the event in 2020 but should be a contender this season. Macy brings an E pass with a front double full while Winder has strong tumbling and should contend for a lineup spot as well.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? It’s too early to tell at this point, as the lineup will be dependent on how well the newcomers adjust.

Overall Outlook

With the loss of a strong senior class, 2021 will likely be a rebuilding year for the Panthers. Much of its success will be dependent on injury returners as well as newcomers to the lineups. The big question is, how well will these newcomers step up to fill the holes.

No. 36 George Washington

George Washington loses no routines from its 2020 campaign, so the Colonals will be able to continue rebuilding without having to make up for lost routines.

Losses: Nicole Rogalski, Paige Apperson (no longer on roster), Kenzington Martin (no longer on roster)
Gains: Payton Lynch, Julia Peters, Anneliese Silverman, Kendall Whitman
Returning From Injury: Hannah Munnelly (Achilles), Chloe Vitoff (unknown knee injury)

Vault

Potential Contributors: Deja Chambliss (9.865 NQS), Cydney Crasa (9.805), Olivia Norman (9.760), Anna Warhol (9.720), Katherine Shek (9.690), Hannah Munnelly (9.680), Chloe Vitoff (9.755 AVG), Kendall Whitman, Anneliese Silverman

How It Looked Before: Vault was an OK event for the Colonials in 2020, but they were never able to break the 49 mark.

How It Looks Now: The game changer in this lineup will be freshman Kendall Whitman, who competes a front handspring onto the board to a front handspring tuck half—a 10.0 start. Anneliese Silverman also brings another option to the lineup with a Yurchenko full.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? With the entire 2020 lineup returning and the addition of the freshmen, vault should be much better off this season.

Bars

Potential Contributors: Anna Warhol (9.795 NQS), Simone Banen (9.795), Deja Chambliss (9.790), Olivia Raymond (9.775), Katya Karpova (9.750), Hannah Munnelly (9.565), Anneliese Silverman

How It Looked Before: Bars was the Colonals’ highest ranked event in 2020, sitting at No. 34 in the country.

How It Looks Now: The bars lineup should look very similar to how it did in 2020, as it is not the strongest event for most of the incoming freshmen. The only one with an up-to-the-level bar routine is Silverman, who has lovely lines on the event and will be a contender for a lineup spot. 

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Bars should be about the same if not slightly better this season.

Beam

Potential Contributors: Hannah Cohen (9.855 NQS), Olivia Zona (9.785), Simone Banen (9.780), Deja Chambliss (9.775), Cydney Crasa (9.765), Olivia Raymond (9.755), Katya Karpova (9.495), Anneliese Silverman, Kendall Whitman, Payton Lynch

How It Looked Before: Beam was an OK event for the Colonals, but they struggled with consistency throughout the season. 

How It Looks Now: Silverman will be one to watch on the event. She has beautiful lines and her level 10 scores have been consistently in the 9.5-plus range. Whitman should also be a contender with her clean routine, and Payton Lynch is also an option.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Beam should be even better for George Washington this season.

Floor

Potential Contributors: Cydney Crasa (9.850 NQS), Anna Warhol (9.795), Rachel Kaplan (9.760), Olivia Zona (9.730), Olivia Raymond (9.700), Simone Banen (9.795 NQS in 2019), Deja Chambliss (9.870 AVG), Katya Karpova (9.725), Hannah Munnelly (9.700 High), Kendall Whitman, Anneliese Silverman, Payton Lynch 

How It Looked Before: Floor started out slow for the Colonials in 2020, but they improved on the event every meet. It ended up being their strongest event by the end of season.

How It Looks Now: Two of the freshmen have E passes—Whitman with a front double full and Silverman with a full-in. Payton Lynch does not have the difficulty of her classmates, but her tumbling is clean so she should contend as well.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? George Washington should be able to continue to improve on floor this season, so it should be even better.

Overall Outlook

George Washington is in great shape heading into 2021, with all of its 2020 routines returning and the addition of some strong freshmen. The question the Colonials will need to answer is how well they’ll be able to continue to build upon their 2020 results.

No. 37 North Carolina

Though the season started out slow, North Carolina continued to improve each week and was right on the cusp of regionals contention before the season was cut short. The Tar Heels lose 11 of their 2020 routines, including most of their high scoring ones, so there will be some big shoes to fill.

Losses: Alexis Allen (VT, BB), Jamie Antinori (FX), Grace Donaghy (UB, BB), Khazia Hislop (VT, BB, FX), Mikayla Robinson (VT, FX), Emily White, Mekyllah Williams (UB)
Gains: Kate Greene, Allison LaNasa, Tienna Nguyen, Jamie Shearer, Cory Shinohara, Julianna Weil (transfer from Maryland)
Returning From Injury: Hallie Thompson (ACL), Tina Ghashghaei (ACL), McKenna Appleton (ACL)

Vault

Potential Contributors: Drew Aldridge (9.780 NQS), Elizabeth Culton (9.720), Emery Summey (9.790 AVG), Shailyn St. Brice (9.638), Hallie Thompson, Tienna Nguyen, Cory Shinohara, Kate Greene

How It Looked Before: Vault was a great event for North Carolina in 2020 with a No. 21 ranking nationally.

How It Looks Now: North Carolina loses its three best vaulters from 2020, so there are some big shoes to fill. If healthy, Hallie Thompson could be the most important replacement on this event with a Yurchenko one and a half. Three of the freshmen, Kate Greene, Tienna Nguyen and Cory Shinohara all have strong Yurchenko fulls that will help round out the lineup.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Too early to tell, as a lot will depend on new faces in the lineup.

Bars

Potential Contributors: Elizabeth Culton (9.825 NQS), Emery Summey (9.685), Hannah Nam (9.680), Sophie Silverstein (9.480), Drew Aldridge (9.800 High), Hallie Thompson, McKenna Appleton, Kate Greene, Tienna Nguyen, Jamie Shearer

How It Looked Before: Bars did not start off great in 2020, as the Tar Heels struggled with putting a full lineup together, but they found their footing by the end of season. 

How It Looks Now: Greene and Nguyen both have great lines on bars and should be strong additions to the lineup. Jamie Shearer also brings a solid bar routine that should contend as well. Injury returns from Thompson and McKenna Appleton could also help bolster the team’s prospects.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? If they can build on what they had at the end of 2020, bars should be a better event for the Tar Heels and no longer a weak spot.

Beam

Potential Contributors: Elizabeth Culton (9.835 NQS), Hannah Nam (9.800), Emery Summey (9.730), Hallie Thompson, McKenna Appleton, Tienna Nguyen, Jamie Shearer, Kate Greene, Cory Shinohara

How It Looked Before: Beam was a rather inconsistent event for North Carolina, with scores ranging from 48.200 to 49.175.

How It Looks Now: Like with vault, North Carolina loses half of its lineup from 2020, so there will be several spots to fill. Nguyen, Shearer and Greene all bring lineup-ready routines and are the most likely freshmen to make the top six. Shinohara has a lot of difficulty on this event and could be a contender if she can find her consistency. Like with bars, Thompson and Appleton could make the lineup if healthy.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Too early to tell, as it will depend a lot on gymnasts who have not competed on this event before in college.

Floor

Potential Contributors: Elizabeth Culton (9.825 NQS), Hannah Nam (9.795), Lily Dean (9.780), Hallie Thompson, Cory Shinohara, Kate Greene, Tienna Nguyen

How It Looked Before: Floor was a good event for North Carolina, led by Khazia Hislop and Mikayla Robinson who have since graduated.

How It Looks Now: Shinohara competes an E pass, a full-in. Thompson also has an E pass with a triple twist and should be in the lineup if healthy. Greene does not have the same difficulty, but she has a clean routine that should contend. As a former elite, Nguyen has a number of skills to choose from, so it’s hard to say what her composition will look like. Her dance skills are sure to make her a fan favorite.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Too early to tell, as it is difficult to know whether or not the newcomers will be able to fill the gaps left by the graduating seniors. 

Overall Outlook

Despite losing such a strong senior class, North Carolina is in a fairly good place heading into 2021. The big question is: How well will the freshmen step up to fill the holes left by the likes of Hislop and Robinson.

No. 41 New Hampshire

New Hampshire had a good season in 2020, and while the Wildcats were consistent from meet to meet, they failed to break into the 196 range even once.

Losses: Lexi Calandra (VT), Riley Freehling (AA), Ava Watkins (UB, FX), Emma Winer (VT, BB, FX)
Gains: Sierra Bauman, Jenna DeVincenzo, Gianna Graver, Maya MacDonald, Olivia Queri, Kenadi Brown (transfer from Alaska)
Returning From Injury: Lauren Diggan (Achilles), Ally Cucich (ACL)

Vault

Potential Contributors: Kylie Gorgenyi (9.820 NQS), Robyn Kelley (9.750), Mariella Miele (9.685), Hannah Baddick (9.675 AVG), Lauren Diggan (9.740 NQS in 2019), Maya MacDonald, Jenna DeVincenzo, Olivia Queri, Sierra Bauman

How It Looked Before: Vault was an OK event for the Wildcats in 2020, but it was their lowest ranked event on paper. The event was consistent, but usually got stuck in the 48.700 to 48.800 range.

How It Looks Now: Four of the freshmen have viable vaults that should contend for the lineup. Maya MacDonald has a beautiful Yurchenko half that is stickable and should score well. Jenna DeVincenzo, Olivia Queri and Sierra Baumann all have Yurchenko fulls that will also be options for the lineup.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Too early to tell, as a lot will depend on how the freshmen do.

Bars

Potential Contributors: Kylie Gorgenyi (9.820 NQS), Clare Hampford (9.750), Hailey Lui (9.730), Kylie Kratchwell (9.645), Lauren Diggan (9.825 NQS in 2019), Kenadi Brown (9.755 NQS at Alaska), Jenna DeVincenzo, Sierra Bauman

How It Looked Before: Like with vault, bars was an OK event for New Hampshire, but it often failed to get the huge scores needed to take it to the next level.

How It Looks Now: Lauren Diggan’s return should be a huge boost to the lineup. Transfer Kenadi Brown scored as high as 9.800 at Alaska and will be a welcome addition to the lineup. Bars is not the strongest event for the freshmen, but DeVincenzo and Bauman bring viable options.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Bars should be a better event for New Hampshire this season, especially with the addition of Brown and the return of Diggan.

Beam

Potential Contributors: Alyssa Worthington (9.865 NQS), Hailey Lui (9.825), Robyn Kelley (9.795), Kylie Gorgenyi (9.625), Hannah Baddick (9.800 NQS in 2019), Kenadi Brown (9.735 NQS at Alaska), Olivia Queri, Sierra Bauman, Gianna Graver, Jenna DeVincenzo

How It Looked Before: New Hampshire is known for its beam, and 2020 was no exception. It was the Wildcats’ best ranked event last season.

How It Looks Now: Brown had a high score of 9.825 on this event at Alaska, so she should be a contender for the lineup in Durham as well. Queri, Bauman, DeVincenzo and Gianna Graver all have clean routines on this event that should contend for a lineup spot.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Beam should stay about the same or be even better this season.

Floor

Potential Contributors: Hailey Lui (9.840 NQS), Robyn Kelley (9.795), Ally Cucich (9.775 AVG), Kylie Gorgenyi (9.725), Clare Hampford (9.719), Lauren Diggan (9.805 NQS in 2019), Kenadi Brown (9.700 NQS at Alaska), Maya MacDonald, Jenna DeVincenzo, Sierra Bauman, Olivia Queri

How It Looked Before: Floor was a good event for New Hampshire in 2020—its second highest ranked event.

How It Looks Now: Like with bars, Diggan’s return on this event should be a huge boost for the lineup. Floor is not the strongest event for the freshmen, but MacDonald, DeVincenzo, Bauman and Queri all have clean tumbling and should contend for spots. Brown also competed floor at Alaska, and with a 9.825 high score, she has potential to be in the lineup as well.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? It’s a bit too early to tell, but floor seems like it will stay about the same this season.

Overall Outlook

Overall, things look good for the Wildcats this season. The big question they will need to answer is whether or not they will be able to get the bigger scores needed to take them to the next level.

No. 48 Towson

Towson had a much improved season in 2020, moving up 10 spots in the rankings from 2019. With most of the 2020 lineups intact and another large freshman class coming in, the Tigers will be looking to continue that upward trajectory into 2021.

Losses: Olivia Lubarsky (FX), Zoey Packard, Melissa Temkov (BB, FX), Ally Wesoly (AA), Sarah Brownstein (transfer to William & Mary)
Gains: Mackenzie Butler, Sarah Girot, Simona Kerekes, Amanda Pedicelli, Cassidy Stuart, Grace Vaillancourt, Allison Zuhlke
Returning From Injury: Tirzah Delph (lower leg injury), Amy Stewart (Achilles)

Vault

Potential Contributors: Camille Vitoff (9.785 NQS), Emerson Hurst (9.755), Lauren Bolen (9.745), Kyla Gamble (9.730), Nikki Borkowski (9.710), Jenna Weitz (9.575 AVG), Cassidy Stuart, Simona Kerekes, Mackenzie Butler, Amanda Pedicelli 

How It Looked Before: Vault was an OK event for the Tigers in 2020, but they lacked the dynamics to take the event to the next level.

How It Looks Now: Freshmen Cassidy Stuart and Simona Kerekes both bring dynamic Yurchenko fulls that should see time in the lineup immediately. Mackenzie Butler and Amanda Pedicelli also have Yurchenko fulls that will be contenders for the lineup as well.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Vault should be a better event for Towson this season.

Bars

Potential Contributors: Tess Zientek (9.775 NQS), Camille Vitoff (9.720), Kyla Gamble (9.685), Amy Stewart (9.615), Lauren Bolen (9.595), Tirzah Delph, Amanda Pedicelli, Sarah Girot, Simona Kerekes, Allison Zuhlke, Cassidy Stuart

How It Looked Before: Bars was an inconsistent event for Towson in 2020, with scores ranging from a low of 47.850 to a high of 49.075.

How It Looks Now: Pedicelli and Sarah Girot have the strongest bar routines of the freshmen and are the most likely to make the lineup. Kerekes also has a viable routine that should contend. Stuart and Allison Zuhlke both have nice routines but will need to connect their dismounts to be up to the level. Tirzah Delph, who was injured in 2020, should also contend if healthy.  

Trending up, down or too early to tell? With a loss of only one routine and plenty of viable options, bars should be better for Towson this season.

Beam

Potential Contributors: Emerson Hurst (9.815 NQS), Camille Vitoff (9.735), Lauren Bolen (9.710), Jenna Weitz (9.685), Paige Casper (9.595), Sarah Girot, Cassidy Stuart, Amanda Pedicelli, Grace Vaillancourt, Allison Zuhlke, Simona Kerekes, Mackenzie Butler 

How It Looked Before: Beam was Towson’s best event in 2020, led by Emerson Hurst, who is the only returning gymnast on the team with an NQS above 9.800.

How It Looks Now: All seven of the freshmen bring viable options to the beam lineup. The best of the bunch is Girot, who has nice lines on the event and competes a triple series. Pedicelli also stands out with an uncommon common side aerial to back handspring series. The rest of the lineup will come down to who is the most consistent.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? With added depth, beam should be even better for Towson this season.

Floor

Potential Contributors: Paige Casper (9.770 NQS), Nikki Borkowski (9.725), Emerson Hurst (9.620), Amy Stewart (9.675 AVG), Leah Smith (9.670), Jenna Weitz (9.600), Sarah Girot, Cassidy Stuart, Allison Zuhlke, Grace Vaillancourt, Amanda Pedicelli

How It Looked Before: Floor was a good event for Towson in 2020, but it could be a bit inconsistent at times.

How It Looks Now: Of the freshmen, Girot and Stuart both have lineup ready routines with clean tumbling passes. Zulke, Pedicalli and Grace Vaillancourt also bring viable options to the lineup.

Trending up, down or too early to tell? Floor should continue to improve in 2021.

Overall Outlook

With even more depth being added to the lineups, Towson should continue to improve into 2021. This depth means that the Tigers will be able to play around with the lineups to find the most consistent routines. The big question is: Will Towson be able to find that consistency?
