Seawolves earn season-high 192.125 in victory

ANCHORAGE (Feb. 20) – Junior Jamilia Duffus delivered three strong efforts and the Alaska Anchorage gymnastics team topped the podium on all four events Friday to earn a 192.125-188.125 dual victory over Centenary at the Alaska Airlines Center.

The Seawolves (3-6) recorded their best overall score of the season by nearly two full points, along with their best marks on vault (47.825), uneven bars (48.100) and balance beam (48.325).

"Our gymnasts delivered nicely on the adjustments we've been making over the past couple weeks, and we got consistent scoring up and down the lineup tonight," said UAA head coach Marie-Sophie Boggasch. "We hope to send our seniors out with another season high on Sunday."

UAA got off to a strong start on vault, led by a team season-high 9.7 from Duffus and a career-high 9.6 from junior Jada Niles. The Seawolves extended their lead in the second rotation by taking the top four spots on bars, with freshman Tessa Richardson earning her first career victory with a 9.75. Duffus was runner-up with a 9.7, followed by junior Claudia Lessig (9.625) and senior Madelyn Gomez (9.55).

Sophomore Jordan Grindol matched her own personal best and team season-high on beam with a 9.775, while freshman Alexandra Karkowski notched runner-up at 9.75. Niles and senior Ariana DeSouza delivered 9.675 and 9.575, respectively.

DeSouza continued her momentum into the final rotation, winning floor exercise with a UAA season-best 9.75, just ahead of Centenary's Amy Foret (9.7). Duffus earned a 9.65 and junior Maria Jose Prieto scored 9.55 on floor to aid a 47.875 total.

The Seawolves and Ladies meet Sunday at 2 p.m. for a rematch at the Alaska Airlines Center. Find tickets, live links and more at GoSeawolves.com.
