TEMPE, Ariz. - Led by four individual first place finishes the Temple men's gymnastics team gained some much needed momentum with a 337.100-329.700 win over Arizona State on Friday night.

On rings, Brana cruised for a first place finish with a score of 14.200. McLaughlin posted a pair of gold medal performances, winning on parallel bars with a score of 14.000 and on high bar with a score of 14.600.

Complete meet results will follow shortly.

Up next for the Owls is the team's final regular season and home meet of the year, as Temple hosts Navy on March 19 at 2:00 p.m. in McGonigle Hall.
