SEATTLE, Wa. (March 1)-Melissa Stanton won the
uneven bars and Corrie McDaniel finished first on floor exercise
as USA Gymnastics sixth-ranked Seattle Pacific University tumbled
Mountain Pacific Sports Federation foe Sacramento State 192.075 to
190.125 in a meet Saturday night at Brougham Pavilion.
The Falcons' 192.075 was more than two full
points better than their previous best (190.025) and the victory
over the Hornets marked Seattle Pacific's fourth straight win in
as many meets and its first victory over a Division I opponent in
a year.
Stanton's (Jr., Rapid City, SD) 9.850 bar score
was a season high. The junior transfer also finished second on
balance beam with a 9.650.
McDaniel (So., Lawrence, Ks.) flipped a 9.825
on floor during the final rotation. The all-arounder fell off bars
earlier in the meet causing her to finish third in the four-event
competition. Sacramento's Nirvana Zaher won the all-around with a
38.750. McDaniel scored a solid 37.725.
Zaher won vault (9.750) and balance beam for
the Hornets (9.750) and finished in a two way tie for second with
teammate Jenny Diamond on floor. Kimiye Narasaki capped a pair of
second place finishes for Sac State on vault (9.700) and bars
(9.700).
The Falcons (4-6) got podium finishes from
Jennifer Christman (Jr., Fairfield, Ca.) and Annastasia Ahr (Jr.,
San Antonio, Tx.) on bars (9.700). The pair finished in a
three-way tie for second place with Narasaki. Ahr also tied for
second on beam with Stanton (9.650).
Seattle Pacific hits the road to Corvallis next
