Aggie gymnasts rally to beat 21st-ranked BYU By
USU athletic media relations
Utah State's gymnastics team came from .375 points behind after three rotations to score it eighth-best floor score in school history (49.225) and defeat 21st-ranked Brigham Young University with a season high 196.025 to the Cougars' 195.5 Friday night in Logan. The Aggies' final score ties the second-highest mark in USU history and is the best score ever by an Aggie team in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. The victory improves USU to 6-8, while BYU drops to 8-3. On the beam, the Aggies continued to struggle, having to count one fall toward the team to post a 48.450. The event was highlighted by Mika Houston's 9.825 and senior Megan Woolstenhulme's 9.800. The Aggies' amazing floor rotation was led by junior Jessenia Abrego, who tied her career high with a 9.900. Sophomores Nicole Kilpatrick and Allison Rosenthal scored 9.875s, and Kilpatrick's score was enough to give her the all-around title of 39.325. Next up for USU is Southern Utah at Cedar City on Monday night.
