Colonials to make fifth straight regionals appearance
NCAA Regional Competition Bracket
WASHINGTON – The No. 35 George Washington gymnastics team was selected to compete at the upcoming NCAA Baton Rouge Regional.
GW will go head-to-head with No. 36 Lindenwood in the NCAA First Round on April 4 to compete for a spot in the Second Round against No. 3 LSU, No 13 Auburn and No. 21 Arizona State the next day.
The Second Round will consist of two sessions of four teams, with two teams advancing from each session to compete on the final day of competition, Super Regionals. Two teams from each Super Regional will move on to the NCAA National Championship.
Regardless of results in the First Round, fifth-year co-captain Alex Zois and sophomore Hannah Cohen will represent the Buff and Blue in the Second Round as individual qualifiers. Zois earns a bid as an individual all-around competitor, while Cohen earns a spot competing on beam.
Monday's selection marks the fifth consecutive trip to regionals as a team for the Colonials and the 15th such trip in program history.
On Saturday, GW was just edged by New Hampshire, 195.950-195.825, to finish second at the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Championships. The Colonials put together one of their best meets of the season, surpassing their season highs on both bars (49.075) and beam (49.000) while adding their third straight score above 49.000 on floor. In the all-around, Zois finished atop the podium for the ninth time this season to claim the title with a dominant 39.400. The Crofton, Md., native was also named the EAGL Gymnast of the Year.
