Plotsker recorded scores of 9.7 on both uneven bars and in the floor exercise, while posting a mark of 8.8 on beam to help GW top William & Mary, 189.700-188.875, for its fifth victory of the season. Her performances on uneven bars and floor were both season-high marks.
In the Colonials' first meet of the season at their home GW Invitational on Jan. 12, Plotsker also competed on bars, beam and floor to help GW finish runner-up with a score 189.500. She was the squad's top performer on beam with a 9.675.
