Brockport, NY – The SUNY Brockport gymnastics team will travel this weekend to Providence, Rhode Island for a quad meet. Rhode Island College will be hosting Brockport, Cortland, and Springfield for a 12pm start.

Brockport gained most of its advantage from the uneven parallel bars and the floor exercise. The team's best mark of the day was a 48.250 on the floor. On the bars the Green and Gold scored a team total of 47.275.

Maren Eramo nearly won the vault for the Green and Gold with a 9.700, as her second place score was 0.025 behind the event winner from Ithaca. On the balance beam, Natalie Galioto paced the Brockport effort in the competition with a 9.525 for fifth place.
 
Brockport's floor exercise lineup provided two gymnasts that tied for second place in the event. Both Aladiana Tosado and Kirsten Paultre scored a 9.725 on the floor. The duo finished behind only Ithaca's first-place score of 9.775.
 
All-Around: Lienna Kay was the only gymnast last weekend for both teams to compete in all four events. She earned an all-around score of 37.575 on the day. She started off with a 9.325 on the vault, before scoring a 9.375 on the bars and beam. Kay posted her best score of the day on the floor, closing the meet out with a 9.500.
 
This Weekend's Competition: Last year Brockport fared well against its trio of opponents on the schedule for Saturday's quad meet. The squad went 3-0 against both Cortland and Rhode Island last year. The one time Brockport crossed paths with Springfield, the Green and Gold got the win, 190.925-187.025. The team looks to continue its dominance from last season this weekend.
 
Up Next: The Golden Eagles will travel again next weekend for yet another quad meet. They head to West Chester University of Pennsylvania on Saturday, January 27^th. Brockport will compete against West Chester, Cortland, and Ithaca at 1pm.
