Wildcats defeat SCSU, Fisk and Rhode Island College behind Gorgenyi's 39.475
DURHAM, N.H. – Graduate student Kylie Gorgenyi (North Reading, Mass.) equaled the highest all-around score in UNH gymnastics history (39.475) to power the Wildcats to Sunday afternoon's Senior Day quad-meet victory against Southern Connecticut State, Fisk University and Rhode Island College before 1,336 fans in the Whittemore Center at Key Auto Group Complex.
UNH (15-7, 1-2 EAGL) scored a 195.200, followed by SCSU (193.850), Fisk (190.575) and RIC (189.150).
Gorgenyi shared first place on vault with a career-high-tying 9.900, topped the podium on uneven bars (9.925), won floor exercise (9.900) and became the second Wildcat to ever achieve a 39.475 all-around score for her sixth AA title in UNH's eight meets this season. The record mark was initially set by UNH Hall of Famer and program all-time points leader Amanda Hall on March 6, 2004.
Freshman Gwen Ockerbloom (Granby, Conn.) registered a personal-best 9.850 to win balance beam, giving the Wildcats at least a share of all first-place results.
