The Owls started the night on a high note as the team matched their season-high on the event. Sophomore Nikki Rengifo notched the first 9.800 or higher of the night in the fifth position for Temple.

Temple struggled on the second event of the night, but two performed strong. Freshman Ella Beck posted a career-high 9.700 on the bars. Junior Megan White led the Cherry & White on the event with a 9.725, tying her season high.
Rotation 3 (BEAM: 48.750)
Temple shined tonight on the beam, shattering a season-high score from week two of the season. Three Owls put up a 9.800 or higher in the process. Hailey Best led off with a 9.825 that marked a team-high score on the apparatus. Robyn Dunne and Megan White each notched a 9.800 to contribute to Temple's success in the third rotation.
Â
Rotation 4 (FLOOR: 48.850)
Temple performed strong on the night's final apparatus, posting five scores of at least a 9.700. Amelia Budd once again came through for the Owls on floor and recorded her third 9.825 of the season on the event. Mariella Brueck took up the anchor spot in tonight's meet and recorded her third 9.800 of the season.
SCOUTING THE OPPOSITION
The Eastern Michigan Eagles come into week eight off of a season-high performance at Ball State last Sunday. The Eagles posted a 194.125 against Ball State and came up just short as the Cardinals finished with a 195.025.
A name for fans to keep their eye on this week for Eastern Michigan would be Kyrie Lowe. The senior is the lone all-around gymnast on EMU, and shines specifically on the floor. She averages a 9.733 on the event and has scored a season-high 9.800 twice. Junior Katin Childress is the leader on Eastern Michigan on the beam. She averages a 9.717 on the apparatus and has a season-high of a 9.875. She has scored above a 9.800 on the event four times in 2026.
Lowe is also the top uneven bars performer on the Eagles. She has marked above a 9.800 on the event three times, with her season-high coming last week at Ball State. On the vault, Kendall Landry is a mainstay for Eastern Michigan. The junior from Frisco, Texas averages a 9.733 on the event this season and is most recently coming off of her season-high mark of a 9.850 against Ball State.
