SEATTLE, Wa.-Alison Siegel won vault and floor exercise and Cassie Althauser finished second on bars and beam as Seattle Pacific University beat arch rival UC Davis 192.675 to 191.450 in a gymnastics meet Friday night at Brougham Pavilion.

Seattle Pacific's team score was the sixth final tally over 190 points in the 2001 season. The Falcons, ranked No. 3 among USA Gymnastics teams, set a school record team total earlier in the week with a 193.700.

Siegel (Jr., Oakland, Ca.) vaulted a 9.775 to start the night and struggled through the next pair of rotations after a mishap on the uneven bars. The all-arounder rebounded to post a first place tie with Davis' Ericka Ruelas, scoring a 9.825 on floor. Siegel finished second in the all-around to Ruelas at night's end with a 38.275.

Ruelas is the USA gymnastics defending champion on both bars and floor, and finished runner-up in the all-around at last year's national meet.

Althauser (Sr., Centralia, Wa.) swung a 9.750 on bars and negotiated the beam for a 9.875. Teammate Anastasia Ahr (Fr., Chelan, Wa.) finished third on beam with a 9.800. Kim Carey danced her way to third place on floor with a 9.775 and Kristin Strid (So., Kingsburg, Ca.) notched a third place finish in the all-around (37.950).

UC Davis' Ruelas won the all-around competition with a final score of 38.950.

The Falcons take to the road for a pair of meets next weekend. SPU duals with San Jose State Thursday, March 9, and meets again with UC Davis March 10. Official start times are 7:30 Friday night and 7:00 Saturday.
