TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama Gymnastics team used some new faces to come up with a winning result against Kentucky Friday night, outscoring the Wildcats 196.375-193.625 in front of 10,540 fans here in Coleman Coliseum.
"I was really proud of our performance," Alabama head coach Sarah Patterson said. <span class="qtxt">"I think it was a hard night, coming off of last weekend (against Auburn) and going into next weekend (at Georgia). Maybe the coaching staff had a few different goals than the team might have.

I think after the first couple of meets when she struggled a little bit on one event. I think to see her tonight to come in with much more confidence, that's where our team grows."</span >
