CLEVELAND, Ohio - Freshman gymnast, Andrea Kinzer was named the Mid-American Conference Specialist of the Week after recording her first collegiate event win and leading the Falcons to a victory in their home opener against Ball State this weekend (Jan. 18), announced by the conference office this afternoon (Jan. 20).
Kinzer had two outstanding performances this weekend as she helped lead the Falcons to their first victory of the season over Ball State (189.575-187.325). Kinzer won her first collegiate event on floor along with third place finish on vault; her second consecutive top-three finish in as many weeks.
She started off the floor exercise for the Falcons, setting the bar high for the squad as she stuck every combination for a career high 9.750 and her first collegiate event win. Her strong performance led the Falcons to team score of 47.600 nearly two-tenths higher than last weekend's team score against Northern Illinois. Earlier in the meet she landed her second consecutive top-three finish on vault with a 9.675 for a third place finish.
