The season kicks off today for all three of these teams. Bridgeport ended its 2023 season with a 7th place finish at the GEC championship after a season filled with the ups and downs you would expect of a young roster. That young roster has only lost a couple of gymnasts while gaining another large class of newcomers that should strengthen all of these lineups right away.
Where Bridgeport had few losses, LIU had many in the 2023 offseason after a season filled with program record performance. With numerous transfers and expected freshmen leaving the program before competing lineups will be interesting. LIU does have some international newcomers including Brisa Carraro where it will be interesting to see if they compete and how much.
New Hampshire struggled last season and is losing multiple contributors. Lucky for the Wildcat fans, Kylie Gorgenyi is returning for her fifth year which will lessen any potential drop off as the new freshmen get acclimated to the lineups.
If you are tuning into these teams for the first time, watch out for the typical stars to start the year strong with Gorgenyi on bars for New Hampshire in the second rotation, Syd Morris for LIU in the all around, and Olivia Imbarlina on bars and beam for Bridgeport.
