New Hampshire 193.6, 194.225, 192.0833 Michigan State 196.05, 196.2, 194.7389 Highest Team Event Score: New Hampshire Vault 48.875 Michigan State Vault 49.275 Notes: Number 14 Michigan State visited UNH last year, and the Wildcats are returning this favor with a trip out to East Lansing as the race to regionals is about to begin. Last season MSU narrowly outscored New Hampshire 194.000 to 193.925 and Rochelle Robinson also came away with a 10 on Vault from that meet as well. This season, Michigan State has been scoring higher than UNH generally, however it will be clearly be two very talented teams meeting up this weekend. Many of the UNH gymnasts will be the same ones in the lineup last year as well. New Hampshire has been dealing with some fluctuations in the lineup over the course of the season but scored well last weekend at UNC. Michigan State is coming off victories over Western Michigan and Ball State and this will be their last home meet of the season. Top 2 Scorers (High scores listed.)
