Redhawks Score 193.900 in Win over Wisconsin-Whitewater

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -- The Southeast Missouri gymnastics team had a big night, winning in convincing fashion 193.900-189.175.

Sophomore Alexis Brawner and Junior Ashley Thomas closed out the top three with scores of 38.800 and 38.200, respectively.

"I am very proud of my team," said head coach Kristi Ewasko. "We focused on the little details, like stick landings and finishing in chest-up positions. The team really pulled it together tonight, not counting any falls, and we will just look to build from here."

In the first rotation, the Redhawks finished with a score of 47.825 and won the rotation. Thomas and Brawner won the event, each scoring a 9.700. It was a season-high for Thomas. Sophomore Jordan Clark finished third on the team with a 9.525.
