SPRINGFIELD, MA- Both the Cortland Red Dragons and Springfield Pride had a good day on Vault, a relative low scoring day on Bars, and some good and some bad on Beam, but it would be floor that decided the meet as Springfield hit a 48.2 to Cortland’s 46.725 taking the win in front of the home crowd 185.300 to 183.300. Both teams topped their current season high scores. Springfield came into the meet leading the ECAC in Beam and Floor scoring, and certainly they helped their standings with their Floor rotation. In fact SC leads all of Division 3 on the FX. Cortland is especially highly ranked on the Vault and that proved to be their best event of the day scorewise.

COLLEGE PARK, MD- As the snow kept coming down outside the Comcast Center, four teams filed inside for a quad meet. The competitors consisted of nationally ranked #16 Denver and three EAGL teams in West Virginia, Rutgers, and the host Maryland. Denver was looking to as always keep building their national ranking, while Terps had a chance to avenge their loss on the road to WVU on their home floor. Rutgers has been integrating more gymnasts into the lineup either freshmen or previous injured competitors and would be participating in their third straight meet against teams in the northeast corridor.
