George Washington at North Carolina

Recap

The Big Storyline: North Carolina wrapped up its string of three consecutive home meets with a third score over 196, and both George Washington and North Carolina where able to put up season high team scores.

Implications: George Washington won the EAGL title in 2022 and has yet to make its case for being the top team in the conference this year, having only scored between 195.250 and 195.350 so far this season while both North Carolina and N.C. State have been starting to consistently pile up on 196 scores. Getting closer to that 196 marker will be the goal for George Washington heading into Week 5 while North Carolina will try to bring the recent home success on the road.

Why You Should Make Time to Tune in: This is an opportunity to see the matchup between the reigning EAGL champion and the preseason favorite for the title.

Need More Proof? North Carolina has posted a team score above 196 the past two meets while George Washington has yet to eclipse that mark and will be looking to do so here. In both of those outings for the Tar Heels, Lali Dekanoidze scored a 9.975 on bars, which matches the program record. Will this be the week she scores a 10? Hallie Thompson made her comeback in the beam lineup on Monday after missing most of last season with an ACL tear, so watch out for her there. On the other side, Deja Chambliss for George Washington started the season right where she left off but had a miss on floor last week that she’ll be wanting to bounce back from. Deana Sheremeta has started off her career strong and will be one to watch on beam and floor.
