Superlatives
Ate Their Wheaties
TBD on what Bridgeport had for fuel going into this weekend, but the Purple Knights notched a season high Friday with a 194.100, besting the previous by just over two points. After a quick turnaround, Bridgeport scored a 193.475 on Sunday. Whatever it is, please share, because we could use some of that.

West Chester and Cornell put on a floor clinic this past weekend, with everyone going 9.600 or better. Cornell topped its floor record with a 49.225, or a 9.845 average, and West Chester notched a season high with an average of 9.775. Treat yourself with two glorious floor rotations, you deserve it.
