Iowa State and New Hampshire at Texas Woman’s

Recap

The Big Storyline: Iowa State shook off whatever fatigue it might have had after competing at Oklahoma on Friday and earned two wins at the TWU tri meet. Balance beam ended up being the difference maker between the teams; each had some rough routines, but the Cyclones only counted one low score, whereas the other teams had to count multiple, which affected their team total.

Implications: Iowa State’s score will keep it in the regionals picture while New Hampshire will need to figure out its beam woes if it wants to contend for a spot. TWU will want to keep building scores to keep it in contention for USAGs.

Records: Kylie Gorgenyi tied a New Hampshire individual program record on bars by scoring a 9.950, winning the event title.

Current Rankings: No. 43 Iowa State and No. 51 New Hampshire at No. 55 Texas Woman’s

Why You Should Make Time to Tune in: If you are looking for a tri meet that could end up going any team’s way, you don’t want to miss this one. Each team has had some large score fluctuations so far this season, so while Iowa State is the favorite rankings-wise, a shake up in the bottom three is likely. Any of the teams could come out on top should the Cyclones not have a clean meet. 

Need More Proof? New Hampshire is coming off of a rough beam rotation and will be looking for strong routines from Robyn Kelley and Alyssa Worthington to right that ship. Iowa State scored a season-high last time out and had big numbers from Loganne Basuel and Maddie Diab on beam and floor, respectively. You also can never count the home team out; TWU logged a season high team score last week and had big floor scores from Alix Pierce and Ruby Goad. The Pioneers always find the most success at home.
