Gymnastics Continues To Improve After Second Home Meet On Saturday

The Lindenwood gymnastics team continued to set new records on Saturday evening as it recorded a team score of 192.050. Bowling Green won the event, scoring just eight-tenths higher than the Lady Lions with a 192.850.
 
Setting a new school record in the vault, Rachel Zabawa led the Lady Lions with a 9.700. As a team, the Lady Lions set a new record of 47.675, two-tenths of a point higher than the mark set at Texas Woman's last week. Junior Emily Turik added a 9.525 while Dani Fumagalli and Courtney Heise each had a 9.500 on the vault. After the first rotation, Lindenwood sat .250 points ahead of Bowling Green after the Falcons scored a 47.400 on the bars.
 
Courtney Heise set a career-high on the bars, leading Lindenwood with a 9.750. The team scored a 47.800, beating Bowling Green by four-tenths of a point on the event. Turik added a 9.600 to the Lindenwood score while Alicia Floyd scored a 9.575.
 
The Lady Lions continued to improve their team score as the night progressed. With a 9.825, Zabawa led the Lady Lions once again on the event and earned first-place overall in the event. Valeri Ingui was not far from Zabawa, adding a 9.725 of her own in the event, making that the second best score of the evening. For the beam, Lindenwood scored a 48.000.
 
Records are made to be broken and Lindenwood did just that on the floor exercise. Fourth in the lineup for the Lady Lions, Ingui broke the school record on the floor with a 9.775. Promptly one gymnast later, Heise broke that record, posting a 9.825. Zabawa rounded out Lindenwood with a 9.800 on the floor, giving them a season-high 48.475, almost a point higher than their previous best.
 
Jamilah Ali of Bowling Green finished first overall in the vault, scoring a 9.825. Zabawa's 9.700 was good enough for fourth overall. Amanda Lievendag won the uneven parallel bars with a 9.775. Heise's score of a 9.750 put her in second overall. On the floor exercise, Heise was edged out by .025 by Bowling Green's Alyssa Nocella with a 9.850.
 
Heise garnered first-place in the all-around, recording a Lindenwood record of a 38.650, edging out Bowling Green's Nocella by .050 a point. Emily Turik recorded a 38.075 on the all-around.
 
Lindenwood will travel to Air Force Academy on February 16. The Lady Lions do not return home until March 10 as they host Texas Woman's in the final home meet of the season.
