The Big Storyline: N.C. State howled its way through the competition, picking up a season high 49.300 on beam, tying for 10th best in program history with four gymnasts tying or improving upon their best scores as well. The Pack did struggle through vault but its consistency on the remaining events kept it afloat. Southern Connecticut dropped a bit further on beam and floor, not having yet recovered from the meet just the day before, although the Owls continued on their way to having found consistency on bars again. Despite a third-place finish, Brown flashed its consistency on vault, rebounded on beam from the previous week and showed it’s still peaking on floor. Bars was the only hiccup for the team. Rutgers faced a few challenges on vault and floor but knocked on the door of a new season high on beam. 

Implications: N.C. State will continue to hold off Pittsburgh in the EAGL conference, although Towson is well within reach so long as the Pack continues to improve. Southern Connecticut sits in sixth, holding William & Mary off for another meet while edging closer to Cornell. Brown moves closer to West Chester, although Cornell poses a bigger challenge if Brown should post less-than-desirable scores as the season wraps up. Rutgers will continue to sit just below Penn State in the Big Ten, although by just a handful of tenths that could change as the season wraps up.   

Records: For Southern Connecticut, Ciana Rios scored a career high 9.525 on bars and 9.600 on floor. For the Pack, Emily Shepard notched a 9.925, Nicole Webb notched a 9.900, Kailin Foland a 9.875, and Gabrielle Diaz with a 9.850 for tied or new career highs on beam. Rutgers had several career highs on beam, including Calah Newman with a 9.900, Jackie Manifold with a 9.750, and Brayden Battavio with a 9.775. Brown had several new bests as well, with Abby Contello posting a 9.725 on bars and 9.700 on beam. Angela Xing scored a high of 9.800 on vault. Julia Bedell had a career high 9.825 on floor.
