Coming off a disappointing 194.175 team score in its last meet, LSU gymnastics coach D-D Breaux said she is looking for more stability in the lineup going into tonight’s showdown against preseason No. 1 Georgia.The Tigers held a mock meet Wednesday afternoon to help fix the team’s focus and mental intensity and to help Breaux determine tonight’s final lineups.”We’ve really focused on pressure in performance in practice trying to prepare them for a high pressure competition on Friday,” Breaux said. “Maybe there is someone who is not in the lineup that can hit under pressure, and hopefully we will see that.”Junior Sabrina Franceschelli said the team was disappointed in its performance last weekend in Iowa. She also said the team isn’t looking past its opponent.”We can’t really look at winning,” she said. “We have to look at hitting our routines and . . . doing the best we can . . . We’re just going to go out and try to hit 6-for-6 on each event.”The Tigers (5-0) dropped seven places to No. 14 in the national rankings this week, but Breaux isn’t concerned about the team’s poll position.”The rankings right now are basically meaningless because in our sport, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,” Breaux said. “It’s what your scoring power is by the end of the season.”The Bulldogs also took a drop in the rankings to No. 8.”Both of us dropped because there were other teams around the country in different locations and venues with different sets of judges that scored better than us,” Breaux said. “We have no measuring stick to say whether or not their performances were better than us. We just know that their scores were better than ours.”INJURIES AND ADDITIONSThe Tigers will again be without senior Lauren Klein and sophomore Nicole Lyons because of injuries.Lyons suffered a foot injury practicing in the offseason, and Breaux said it’s “real iffy” if she will come back before the end of the season.Klein suffered an ankle sprain warming up on the balance beam in Cancun, Mexico, and Breaux said she will be out for a few more weeks.”What we need is an immediate come back from Lauren,” Breaux said. “It’s just going to depend on her rehab and how quickly she can come back from the sprain. We really need her in every event.”But the Tigers have a new addition in freshman vaulter Ashley Lee, who joined the team last Monday.Breaux said they found Lee training at Elite Gymnastics and were impressed with her vault.”We happened to see her, and she was very strong and very powerful in the vault, which is an event that, without Nikki Lyons, we are lacking some depth in,” she said. “We thought she might be able to come in and help us if [assistant coach] Bob [Moore] could train her to land that vault and control her power.”Lee came from California to Baton Rouge in the fall to go to Baton Rouge Community College. She transferred to LSU this semester.Breaux said Lee won’t be in the lineup anytime soon, but Lee said she is eager to compete.”It’s way different from club, and I want to get out there,” she said. “I went to the meet at Iowa, and I didn’t get to compete. But even being there is a completely different experience. It’s so fun, and I can’t wait to be on the floor and show everyone what I can do.”—-Contact Andy Schwehm at [email protected]
