PROVO, Utah (Jan. 12, 2007) -- The BYU gymnastics team continued its strong start to the 2007 season Friday night with a 193.325-185.675 win over Texas Woman's University in the Marriott Center.
"We had some very good performances," said BYU head coach Brad Cattermole. "We've got a lot of our kids out there competing. We're just trying to score the best we can."
The Cougars began the evening on the vault and quickly established their dominance, posting a 48.225 score while TWU notched a 46.375 on the bars. Junior Dayna Smart led BYU on the event with a score of 9.750 while junior Alethea Boon also bolstered the team score with a 9.700. Freshmen Danielle Goldman and Megan Donehue recorded new career highs.
Bars was up next for the Cougars, who continued to widen the gap with a 48.225 score compared to the Pioneers' 45.875 total on the vault. Despite some early slips by BYU, junior Kylee Draper and senior Kaci Capra-Callens showed why they are the Cougars' top bars competitors as they each recorded scores of 9.825.
Freshman Jenna Kerbis led a talented Cougar beam rotation with a career-high 9.800, tying team captain Smart's score. TWU's Amy Hulbert received an appreciative cheer from the crowd for her entertaining floor routine, but her score was not enough to overtake the BYU squad, which maintained control with a meet-high 48.675 team score on the beam.
"Jenna did very well," said Cattermole. "She's had to fight through some injuries. She's a very good gymnast."
The final rotation was more of the same as BYU secured the victory with a 48.200 score on the floor compared to TWU's 47.250 tally on the beam. Smart once again came up big for the Cougars as she tied her career high on the floor with a 9.85, while Draper had a career mark with a 9.800.
BYU will now travel to Boise, Idaho next Friday night to take on the Boise State Broncos. The Cougars will next be in action at home on Feb. 3 when the Broncos make the trip to Provo.
