Southern Connecticut at Bridgeport

Recap

The Big Storyline: Bridgeport and Southern Connecticut kept it close this weekend, with less than a point and a half separating the two. 

Implications: Bridgeport last opened with a 189.300, so it’s not too far behind after the hiatus. Southern Connecticut was just as on par with its last opening score of 187.025. Bridgeport freshman Alyssa Wiggins came hot out of the gate. Despite a fumble on vault, she scored a 37.275 in her all-around debut with a solid 9.525 on beam to top off her day. Without that, she would’ve notched second place and been within just about a half a point of Hannah Stahlbrodt’s first place finish. Kiana Session had an uncharacteristically low beam score but threw up a 9.625 on vault to get Bridgeport off on the right foot. Bridgeport didn’t count a score under 9.400 on floor. Southern Connecticut counted three bars scores over a 9.575 but couldn’t quite find its footing on floor, counting an 8.450. Stahlbrodt boosted that total with her 9.700, though.
