Minnesota vs Michigan Preview
The Wolverines downed the then-No. 19 Ohio State Buckeyes in their season opener on Saturday, sweeping the event titles en route to a 197.225-196.000 home victory.
Michigan finished with their highest season-opening mark in program history.
On the uneven bars, sophomore Sierra Brooks (9.925) and juniors Natalie Wojcik (9.925) and Abby Brenner (9.900) claimed the top three spots after junior Abby Heiskell hit the mat for an event-low 9.050.
“On any event, you have to be able to recover from a mistake, and I thought on both bars and beam the team did a great job of not allowing one mistake to affect their performance when they came after,” Wolverines head coach Bev Plocki said, according to The Michigan Daily. “I would not expect perfection on the first meet out so I’m not upset that we had a mistake, but we learned from it.”
Brooks (9.925), Brenner (9.875), and Wojcik (9.850) also claimed the top three spots on vault, in that order. Sophomore Gabby Wilson scored a meet-high 9.950 on floor; Brooks (9.900), Wojcik (9.900), and Brenner (9.875) rounded out the top four.
“That’s what it’s all about, it’s having those athletes that are rock solid and they can do it week in and week-out,” Plocki said, per The Michigan Daily. “Regardless of what happened before them, they can go out there when the lights turn on and perform.”
Wojcik, Brooks, and Wilson were the only three gymnasts on either team to complete the all-around, scoring 39.575, 9.475, and 39.350, respectively.
The Golden Gophers are also coming off a program-best season-opening tally, having topped the Iowa Hawkeyes 197.025-196.450 at home a week ago.
“We have been feeling so good about this team, and to come out and start the season like this is pretty exciting,” Gophers head coach Jenny Hansen said, according to the school’s athletics website.
Minnesota senior Ona Looper claimed victory in the all-around with a 39.625. She won on vault outright with a 9.950 and shared the top spots on bars and floor with scores of 9.925 and 9.950.
The best score of the meet belonged to Gophers senior Lexy Ramler, who notched a 9.975 on beam. Ramler was the only other competitor to complete the all-around, posting a 39.550.
“Our number one goal this season is just to go out and have fun,” Minnesota senior Mary Korlin-Downs said, per the school’s athletics site. “We know that we do better when we have fun and that is always a focus before, during and after the meet.”
