Sunday afternoon brings us a Northern California showdown as the San Jose State Spartans face off against the Sacramento State Hornets. The Hornets are coming off a season-opening victory with a score of 194.700, but they’ll be aiming to break into the 195s today. Vault and floor were challenging last week, and Emma Morgenthaler will play a crucial role in improving those scores.
This will be San Jose State’s season debut, and the Spartans are looking to start strong after reaching the regional play-in meet last year. Five-star recruit Madison Gustitus will make her much-anticipated debut, particularly one to watch on balance beam. The Spartans will be adjusting to the loss of all-arounder Lauren MacPherson, who transferred to Missouri this offseason and are looking for new talent to step up.
San Jose State is in its second year in the Mountain West Conference, but both teams have a long-standing familiarity from their time in the MPSF. With that history, today’s meet promises to be a close and exciting competition.
