The No. 7 Alabama gymnastics team won a tight back-and-forth battle against No. 5 Georgia Friday night in front of 12,381 fans at Coleman Coliseum, 197.500-196.825.
"I feel like some teams might have been discouraged after losing by almost a point at LSU - and we didn't have a bad meet at LSU - but I think for them to come in and step it up like this I think mentally that is what we need right now," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said.
Down by five-hundredths of a point going into the final rotation, Alabama turned up the heat on the floor exercise. Sophomore Lauren Beers and senior Sarah DeMeo brought an appreciative crowd roaring to its feet with matching career-best scores of 9.925. The crowd grew even louder when seniors Kim Jacob and Diandra Milliner closed out the rotation and the meet with huge routines that both went for 9.95, matching both women's career-best marks.
