Fourth-Ranked Falcon Gymnasts Flip Sacramento State
February 15, 2002

SACRAMENTO, Ca.-Alison Siegel-McAfee vaulted and balanced first place finishes en route to top honors in the all-around competition as Seattle Pacific University flipped host Sacramento State 191.400 to 190.600, in a women's gymnastics meet Friday night at Hornet Gym.

Siegel-McAfee (Sr., Oakland, Ca.) started the evening with a 9.750 on vault and did not look back. The senior all-arounder posted some impressive marks, swinging the uneven bars to a 9.525, negotiating the beam for a 9.725 and tumbling a 9.800 on floor exercise. Siegel-McAfee tied for second on floor and matched her season best in the all-around (38.800).

Freshman Corrie McDaniel (Lawrence, Ks.) also nailed her floor routine for a 9.800 and a tie for second place with Siegel-McAfee. McDaniel finished fourth in the all-around competition (37.150) behind Siegel Mc-Afee, Toni Peterson and Binta Coleman of Sacramento State.

SPU swept the top four spots on the balance beam as Kristin Strid (Kingsburg, Ca.) finished second with a 9.675 and Annastasia Ahr (So., San Antoni, Tx.) won third (9650). Courtney Stump finished fourth (9.550).
