CHAMBLISS KEEPS SHINING
At Towson, Deja Chambliss topped the podium with a season-high performance in the all-around with a 39.325. Chambliss also earned the vault title with a 9.875, her third, first-place finish on the event this season. Chambliss has led GW on the event in each of the team's four meets and has not recorded a vault score below 9.850 dating back to Feb. 21, 2022.

Pittsburgh's Hallie Copperwheat enters the weekend as reigning EAGL Gymnast of the Week for the second-consecutive week. The Panthers' Sidney Washington leads EAGL on floor, averaging a 9.887 overall.
