CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri women's gymnastics (5-12, 3-4 MIC) sent off Alexis Brawner, McKenna Stanley and McKinzie Jones with a 191.950-189.125 victory over Centenary Friday on Senior Night at Houck Field House.
 
"It was a tough day, but it was a good day," acting head coach Brittney Emmons said. "It was solid. We had to put some new faces out there but that's what being apart of a team is about is being able to step up and have each other's back. I couldn't be more proud of these seniors and the way they stepped up to continue to lead. They are definitely going to be people that will be truly missed but we are going to have people that are going to be able to step up in the future and fill their shoes."
 
The trio of Brawner, Stanley and Jones were recognized for their Redhawk careers at the conclusion of the dual but the real celebration was the four rotations prior.
