TEMPLE WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS TEAM EARNS FIRST VICTORY OVER UMASS SINCE 1992

The Temple University women's gymnastics team earned a 192.100-190.500 dual meet victory over Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass. on February 23, 2002. The 192.100 score sets a new team record for the Owls. Temple swept three of four events en route to their first win over the Minutewomen since 1992.

The Owls won the vault with a 47.750 score, placed first on bars with a record-setting 48.100 team effort and won the beam with a 48.275 score.

Individually for Temple, true freshman Erin Davis posted the meet's best score on beam with a 9.800 showing. Fellow true freshman Alexis Zafferis won the vault with a 9.700 score. Sophomore Paige Ozaroski posted a school record 9.850 on bars to tie for first place in the event.

The top all-around score of the competition belonged to Temple senior Cicely Warrington, who bested all competitors with a 38.300 effort.

Temple, under the direction of 17th-year head coach Ken Anderson, returns to action next Saturday, March 2, in a 2 p.m. tri-meet at McGonigle Hall featuring Rhode Island and Towson.
