GymDawgs Back On The Road After Season-High At Home
February 15, 2018 | Gymnastics
SEATTLE – After a substantial home win last week, the #13 Washington GymDawgs travel to Tempe, Arizona this weekend to take on the #17 Arizona State Sun Devils on Saturday, February 17 at 10:30 am PT.
The GymDawgs achieved a new season high against Oregon State last week, taking down the #11 Beavers 197.000-196.500. Washington set a new season high on beam with a score of 49.350 and matched their season-best score on floor (49.375) and bars (49.200). It was the first time this year Washington has had a score of at least 49.000 in every event, with the GymDawgs also putting up a score of 49.075 on vault.
That score of 49.375 on floor, helped along by scores of 9.900 by Evanni Roberson, Maya Washington, and Hailey Burleson, pushed the GymDawgs to ninth in the nation on floor. Washington is averaging a score of 49.163 on floor, with Burleson (9.846), Roberson (9.804), Washington (9.854), Michael Nelson (9.825), Kristyn Hoffa (9.810), and Zoey Schaefer (9.804) all averaging scores above a 9.800.
Monica Riley picked up her second straight bars event title against Oregon State as well, matching her career high score of 9.900, set the week before against Utah. Riley's two individual event titles this season ranks second amongst GymDawgs: Burleson has five event wins, including beam and all-around titles against Oregon State, while Roberson has one floor event title.
Arizona State is ranked 17th in the nation entering Saturday's competition. The Sun Devils are in the top 25 in every event, led by their 14th-ranked bars squad. Arizona State's highest score of the year came against California at home, when they put up a team score of 196.800. Since then, Arizona State has fallen to Oregon State and Utah while putting up team scores of 195.050 and 195.400, respectively.
The GymDawgs will return home next week as they are set to host Stanford on Saturday, February 24 at 4:00 pm, with tickets for the meet available online.
