The No. 11 LSU gymnastics team took care of business last Friday with style, defeating Texas Woman’s, 196.475-190.775, in front of 1,463 people in the PMAC.The Tigers’ score matched their season high and was achieved with senior Sabrina Franceschelli sitting out the vault and floor exercise with a leg injury.”We had some adversity we had to deal with,” said LSU coach D-D Breaux. “That really affected our lineup. But we had some breakthrough performances with some people.”One of those outstanding performances came from junior Sam Engle. Engle posted a career-high 9.95 on the uneven bars and captured her first career title on the apparatus.”Sam’s bar routine was phenomenal,” said senior Summer Hubbard. “That’s what we see every day in the gym. So we don’t expect anything less of her.”The Tigers as a team scored a season-high 49.325 on the uneven bars.  Besides Engle, LSU also had two gymnasts tie personal bests on the apparatus.Franceschelli and fellow senior Susan Jackson tied their season highs, posting a 9.825 and 9.925, respectively. LSU also set a season high on the balance beam with a 49.225 score. “I felt like we had some performances that were better this week and got better scores,” Breaux said. “So a lot of things were much better.”On the floor exercise, senior Kayla Rogers tied a season high with a 9.900. Rogers also tied a season high on the vault with a 9.875. Hubbard also set her career high all-around score with a 39.125.Jackson claimed her fifth vault title of the year and her fourth balance beam title despite battling an illness.”I’ve been sick the past few days, and I wasn’t fully there,” Jackson said. “I’m proud of what I was able to do for being sick, though.”But Jackson’s biggest accomplishment was breaking an LSU record by winning the all-around title for the sixth consecutive meet. Jackson’s score of 39.525 won her the title and broke a tie with former LSU gymnast Sandra Smith, who won five consecutive all-around titles in 1980.”I just came in and did my job the past six weeks,” Jackson said. “I’m very happy to have set a new school record. It’s very exciting.”Jackson was also named the Southeastern Conference Gymnast of the Week on Monday. She also kept her ranking as the top gymnast in the country for the fifth consecutive week.She is also in the top 10 nationally in all four individual apparatuses, ranking second on the vault, fifth on the uneven bars, seventh on the balance beam and ninth on the floor exercise.The Tigers also improved their all-time record to 11-0 versus Texas Woman’s. LSU will now take to the road for two straight weeks to face No. 3 Arkansas on Feb 19 and five-time defending national champion No. 9 Georgia on Feb 26.—-Contact Rob Landry at [email protected]
