Chapel Hill, N.C. – With a season-high score of 194.800, the Bowling Green State University gymnastics team picked up two wins Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill, N.C. The Falcons defeated Pittsburgh and University of North Carolina, but fell to NC State by just .100.
The Falcons trailed the Wolfpack through the first two rotations, but took the lead after the third following a season-high team floor performance by the Orange and Brown. BGSU recorded a 49.100 on the event, which is the team's highest event score of the season. However, NC State was able to retake the lead on the final event, edging out the Falcons in the end. In addition to the team's 49.100, Bowling Green scored 48.575 on vault and uneven bars, and a 48.550 on balance beam.
"I am so proud of the effort by the team today," said head coach Kerrie Turner. "We had to fight to get every tenth at this meet and they did a fantastic job. We continue to get better at every competition and this road score will assist our RQS."
With the two wins, the Falcons improve to (3-6, 0-1 MAC).
On BGSU's first event on the meet, senior Caroline Ellingboe notched a 9.825, earning her a second place tie on the uneven bars. She also tied her season-high score of 9.775 on balance beam. Senior Alyssa Nocella was the next highest scorer for the Falcons on bars with a 9.775, her highest score of the meet. She notched another 9.775, leading her to a fourth-place vault finish.

Lauren Feely, who notched a 39.925 in the all-around, also performed her way to a season-high on floor with a 9.850. Victoria Heath (9.850) and Laura Mitchell (9.825) both tied their season highs on the event the Falcons saw the most success this afternoon. Heath and Feely tied tied for fourth place on the apparatus. Four of BGSU's five floor scores were 9.825s or higher.
