AUBwins 10,268 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 UNC is looking strong tonight. They've got the top individual score currently in every event they've performed. Gobourne currently has best floor score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,268 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Supposedly UNC is great on floor and Auburn struggles in Vault last year. Hope we pull it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakem 301 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I will say that we recovered well from our first rotation. A 196.300 isn’t a bad score to start the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,268 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Yep, we won every rotation after that. Suni got 9.775 on bars but had .2 just for touching the bar. That would have been 9.975 otherwise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,268 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) For perspective. Defending champ Michigan started the season with 3rd highest score ever for an open, 197.70. They scored 198.25 in final meet last year to win it. So that's the bar. Edited January 8, 2022 by AUBwins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUreo 764 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 Nice win against some tough competition. UNC’s Freshman Lali Dekanoidze won the all around. She is a 5-star Freshman and Junior Olympic National Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,268 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Suni only competed in 2 events. This will probably be norm throughout regular season to prep her for all around in NCAAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,268 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Coming in Vault was thought to be a weakness but we got some good freshman it seems that specialize in vault. We have typically not done poorly but also not scored higher on floor overall. We did win that event tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,268 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Read somewhere that the 196.30 is the 3rd highest opening meet score in Auburn history. Graba takes the same approach as Pearl early in putting different rotations together on each apparatus until he finds a good mix. This will be the most exciting year in college gymnastics history with all the Olympians in college now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they weaning her in, as a freshmen and may have missed a lot of training while she was out in CA? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
