SCSU Gymnastics Defeats Brown With Season-Best 193.000

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Southern Connecticut gymnastics posted a season-best score of 193.000 to edge Brown by 0.125 points as the Owls picked up the dual meet win in Providence, R.I. The Owls win came down to the final student-athlete to compete as Gabriela Dinisoe posted a 9.750 on the Balance Beam to clinch the win for the Owls.

For the second-straight meet, Abby Royer posted a 9.950 in the Floor event, matching the program record she set in the Owls' home meet on Jan. 17. To date, it is the highest score in the event among all NCAA Division II student-athletes and is one of 18 scores of 9.950 or higher this season across all divisions. Royer is the only student-athlete to post the score twice this season. Jordan Villani won the Vault event with a season-best 9.725 and also scored in the Bars and Floor events. Lola Sepulveda was the only All-Around gymnast in the meet and finished with a 38.175.
