Hello, and welcome to your Sunday afternoon neighboring conference matchup: EAGL and GEC. I’m going to jump right in with how things could look.
Temple, a fairly strong bar team, could very well be outdone by Yale today. Both are fairly close in where they fall in strength, but Temple has struggled to put together a hit bar rotation yet this season, and Yale has continued to improve week after week. You know I’m going to say it, a Reagan Walker and Sarah Wilson (Week 4 Gymnast of the Week in the GEC) one-two punch can put the pressure on Temple. Temple is able to put up the higher scores when the Owls hit, though. Especially with a Stallings-Stallings-Whalen tic-tac-toe.
Momentum is very real, and with both teams squaring off on bars the first two rotations, it could give that much needed boost to claim a win today. For Yale to pull it off, the Bulldogs need to have a polished meet and hit their season high of 194.250 or better. A score that can certainly beat Temple as the Owls haven’t gone over a 194.225 since the opening meet of their season.
Watch along here, and I’ll search for some live score updates to follow along with.
Live scores here!
Rotation 1: Yale VT, Temple UB
Wilson (Yale): Y tuck full, hops forward. Had some good height….
