Zois leads Colonials on three events
COLLEGE PARK, M.D. – After upsetting Maryland just three days earlier in the Charles E. Smith Center, the George Washington gymnastics team made the short trip to College Park, Md., on Monday evening for a rematch with the Terrapins on their home turf. Despite strong performances by GW on uneven bars and floor, Maryland came out on top in the teams' second meeting, edging the Colonials 194.975-194.675.
GW's 194.675 came behind team scores of 48.425 on vault, 48.750 on bars, 48.625 on beam, and a 48.875 on floor.
Fifth-year co-captain Alex Zois paced the squad in three of four events, posting a 9.775 on vault, a 9.750 on bars, a 9.850 on beam, and a 9.875 on floor to earn a 39.250 in the all-around. Although the Crofton, Md. native finished second on the all-around podium, her 39.250 marks her eighth score above the 39.000 threshold this season and the 15th time she has done so in her career. Zois also finished the night on the podium for vault (T-3rd), beam (2nd), and floor (T-2nd).
ROTATION ONE
The Colonials kicked their night off on bars, earning a team score of 48.750. Senior co-captain Julia McLaughlin paced the squad with a 9.800 to finish third, while sophomore Hannah Cohen followed closely behind with a 9.775 to place fourth. First-year Simone Banen and Zois earned identical 9.750s and Olivia Raymond closed out the first rotation with a 9.675.
ROTATION TWO
GW then moved to vault, scoring a 48.425. The pair of Zois and junior Cydney Crasa finished in a tie for third on the podium with matching scores of 9.775. Chloe Vitoff added a 9.675 and Olivia Zona and McLaughlin registered 9.600s to wrap up the vault lineup.
ROTATION THREE
The Colonials had their best event of the night on floor, putting up a team score of 48.875. Zois once again led the way, posting a 9.875 to finish in a tie for second on the podium. Crasa also put together a stellar routine, earning a 9.800, while Katya Karpova followed closely behind with a 9.775. Banen added a 9.750 and Rachel Kaplan posted a 9.675 to round out the squad's best event of the night.
ROTATION FOUR
The Buff and Blue capped the night off on beam, posting a 48.625. Zois continued her momentum in the final rotation with a team-high 9.850, a score that placed her second on the podium, while Cohen clocked in at second on the squad with a 9.825, her seventh straight beam score above a 9.800. In her return to the beam lineup, Brooke Bray posted a 9.775 to finish fifth, while Zona posted a 9.700. Karpova closed out the Colonials' night with a 9.475.
UP NEXT
GW will return to action on Saturday at 4 p.m. for quad-meet action at East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) rival NC State, where the Colonials will also clash with Arizona and Texas Woman's.
