Despite being minus Casey Lauter (Northport, N.Y.), EAGL's top-ranked balance beam competitor, since Feb. 7, UNH is still ranked seventh nationally on the apparatus with a 49.200 Regional Qualifying Score.
The top 6 beam lineups come from teams ranked in the Top-10 nationally: No. 2 Florida, No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 4 Alabama, No. 6 Michigan, No. 5 Utah, and No. 8 UCLA.
UNH is currently ranked 30^th in the country in this week's RoadToNationals.com poll. The top 36 teams at the conclusion of the regular season qualify for NCAA Regional Championships. The regular season wraps up Saturday, March 19. Regionals are scheduled for Saturday, April 2 at six locations.
In the penultimate regular-season meet of her collegiate career, Kelsey Aucoin (Double Oak, Texas) gets the opportunity to compete in her home state. Aucoin is ranked second in EAGL on beam (9.880 RQS) behind only Lauter (9.895 RQS). Meghan Pflieger (Barneveld, N.Y.) is ranked third in the league with a 9.865 RQS.
