PISCATAWAY, N.J. -Temple Women's Gymnastics stayed consistent on Saturday as it post a second place score of 190.800 in a quad-meer at Rutgers on Saturday. The Owls set a season-high mark with their score in the competition a week after taking first place at Ursinus. On Saturday, it was once again senior Katie Canning leading the Owls, as she notched a total of 38.550 all-around, good enough for second place overall. Teammate and classmate Corrine Williams finished just behind her with her all-around total of 38.000.
The hosting Scarlet Knights took first place in the competition with a score of 192.075 through the day's four events. Behind the Owls came Southern Connecticut State (186.100) and Ursinus (179.700).
Canning got another strong day underway in the vault event, with her third place score of 9.675 before claiming the third spot in the overall rankings on the parallel bars (9.600). Both totals were high scores for the Owls on the afternoon.
Sophomore Sylvie Borschel had her best performance in an event yet, as she nabbed the title on the beam with her first place score of 9.800. Williams, who also demonstrated a good showing in the event placed behind her with a score of 9.725
Williams carried the momentum into the day's final event in floor exercise, earning a score of 9.800 in the event, which was good enough for third place.
Sophomores Jasmine Johnson and Borschel also posted strong scores on the floor, setting scores of 9.725 and 8.650, respectively.
"Today was a day where the entire team stepped up and showed we're reaching the point of how we feel we can perform at every event," head coach Aaron Murphy said. "I looked at our scores of where we were this time a year ago and now with today's score, we are already better than where we were a year ago, so it gives this team a lot of confidence as we move forward."
Temple will be back in action next Sunday when it hosts its one and only meet at McGonigle Hall this season for the Ken Anderson Memorial Invitational. The Owls will face West Chester and Ursinus in the meet.
