NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Thanks to a late surge on the floor exercise, the Southern Connecticut State University gymnastics team was able to pull out a season opening sweep of Brown and Springfield on Saturday afternoon at Moore Field House. It was the season opener for the Owls, who also hosted their annual 'Think Pink' event in conjunction with the competition.

Southern Connecticut registered a team score of 182.9. Brown finished second with a 182.825. Springfield was third with a 181.15.

Seniors Sarah Darst (Tampa, Fla.) and Briana DiPinto (Woburn, Mass.) also won individual events. Darst was first on the bars with a 9.65, while DiPinto captured the beam with a score of 9.6.

Brady finished second on the beam with a 9.5, the vault with a 9.275 and the floor exercise with a 9.575.
