Host Temple had a season high last weekend in which it earned a top five beam score in program history, but the result could not have been more different for the Owls’ cross-town rival. After imploding on beam, Penn was upset majorly last weekend with West Chester coming out on top in the Palestra. The Quakers will look to rebound across the Schuylkill River tonight as they travel to Temple. They will arrive alongside EAGL opponents George Washington and N.C. State, the latter of whom Temple beat at last weekend’s quad. We’ll see if any more upsets are in the cards tonight; it’s a quad meet, so buckle in for at least something interesting to happen.
Here are the links to the stats and stream.

FINAL: N.C. State 196.475, GW 196.075, Temple 195.450, Penn 195.125
Temple surpasses 195 for the second time this season while counting a fall on beam. The Owls should feel hopeful about that. Penn’s 195.125, also counting a fall, is a top 5 program history score, which says a lot about the Quakers’ potential this season. Super impressive. As for the top two, the EAGL mainstays should feel good about tonight, though the Wolfpack ended a little understatedly with the vault issues at the start of the lineup. George Washington capped off a solid weekend, going over 196 for the first time this season and entering the rankings at #37- right on the regionals bubble. Watch for the Colonials going forward.
