Alexandria Stokes won the all-around with a 38.350 and the Redhawks recorded a season-high 49.000 on bars, which tied for the seventh-best mark in program history and first since 2004.
 
"I feel really good about what our athletes did on bars and I'm really proud of our bars team," head coach Kristi Ewasko said. "We'll get back in practice and make some adjustments next week. Winning the all-around is huge for Alex, and I'm really proud of her stepping up and winning in just her second career all-around performance. I'm also really glad to send our fifth-year senior, Erin Brady, out a winner."
