Gymnastics Briefs
BRIEF:
The UCLA women’s gymnastics team (3-2) will get little relief
this weekend after a hard fought win at Oregon State. No. 17
Maryland (4-0), No. 19 Washington (2-2) and UC Santa Barbara (0-3)
will descend upon the Wooden Center for a quadrangular meet on
Sunday.
After winning its first Pac-10 meet of the season, UCLA looks to
continue a couple of streaks. The Bruins’ scores have increased in
each consecutive meet, and junior Heidi Moneymaker has won the
uneven bars twice in a row.
The team will need consistency against such formidable
opponents. Maryland storms into Westwood as the No. 1 beam team in
the country, led by Gillian Cote, an national force in the
all-around.
Under the leadership of two-time Pac-10 coach of the year Bob
Levesque, the Huskies took the West Regional title last season.
Although they will be missing All-American Tiffany Simpson,
Washington has rebounded with highly ranked all-arounders Lauren
Reisenmann and Lana Apsikuh.
The only unranked team at the quad meet will be UCSB, but the
Gauchos have an ace up their sleeve — former Bruin ace Megan
Fenton, that is. Santa Barbara’s head coach holds the UCLA uneven
bars record.
