Abby Royer Breaks Floor Record As SCSU Gymnastics Wins Quad Meet

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Southern Connecticut gymnastics posted a team score of 191.375 to defeat Springfield, Utica and Rhode Island College in the Owls' Quad Meet at James Moore Field House. Owls' senior Abby Royer headlined the event with a program-record 9.950 in the Floor Exercise.

Royer's 9.950 beats the previous record of 9.90, which was hit on four different occasions all-time, most recently in 2024 by Libby Allen at the All-American Challenge.

In addition to Royer's individual win in the Floor event, Autumn Everett – who joined the team this semester after transferring from Rhode Island College – and Lola Sepulveda each posted a 9.725 on the Vault to tie for first. Haley Fitzgerald won the Beam with a score of 9.800 and Lola Sepulveda won the All-Around competition with a score of 38.4500.
