CLINTON, S.C. – The 12th-ranked Presbyterian College Blue Hose (2-1) Acrobatics and Tumbling team recorded the highest score in the program's history in a 260.005 to 231.595 win over the Trine University Thunder (0-3) at the Templeton Center on Senior Night.

"I was proud of all of our scores," said Presbyterian coach Amber Morrell said. "We increased the majority of our scores, we had a few wobbles in the team event and a few mishaps in tumbling but overall we improved. We scored in the 260s which was our goal. We got a 9.95 which was huge. We will keep building upon that."

During tonight's meet, Presbyterian honored their seniors: Georgia Welborn, Andey Reynolds, Lana Shull, Rachel Ransom, Diana Santopietro, Nicole Crean, and Eliza Ackerman.

"The seniors have meant everything to the program," Morrell said. "They are the foundation of the program. They will always be the first."
