Sophomore wins beam, floor exercise and first career all-around for short-handed Wildcats

BROOKVILLE, N.Y. – With the University of New Hampshire gymnastics team missing a number of lineup standouts, sophomore Robyn Kelley (Wakefield, Mass.) stepped up with first-place finishes on balance beam, floor exercise and her first career all-around championship in Saturday afternoon's 192.050-190.575 victory against Long Island University at the Pratt Recreation Center.

The depleted Wildcats (2-1, 1-1 EAGL) received valiant efforts from younger gymnasts and saw senior Kylie Kratchwell (Sewell, N.J.) and junior Mariella Miele (Basking Ridge, N.J.) each top the podium for the first time in her career.

LIU (0-1) was competing in its debut meet as an NCAA Division I women's gymnastics program.
