DURHAM, N.H. – The UNH gymnastics team set the program's all-time highest score on uneven bars and totaled a 195.775 to finish as the runner-up to Penn State in Sunday afternoon's Senior Day/Alumni Day quad meet before a crowd of 1,660 at the Whittemore Center.

The Nittany Lions scored a season-high 196.550 to win the meet, followed by the Wildcats (11-8, 3-4 EAGL), Brown (194.675) and Southern Connecticut State (190.400).

UNH's 49.325 bar score eclipsed the previous school record of 49.300 set in 2010. Graduate student co-captain Kylie Kratchwell (Sewell, N.J.), in her final home meet, and junior Kylie Gorgenyi (North Reading, Mass.) headlined the lineup with a 9.900, which equaled Gorgenyi's personal best.

"I am proud of this team. They have been working hard in the gym and are peaking at the right time," said head coach Lindsey Bruck Ayotte. "I saw a lot of fight this afternoon and am looking forward to going 24-for-24 at EAGLs next weekend!"
