Gymtide.com: Post Meet Commentary: Crimson Tide Tames the LSU Bengal Tigers

[GymBot]

The Alabama Crimson Tide (197.250) went 24 of 24 routines to defeat the LSU Bengal Tigers (196.875) in Coleman Coliseum last Friday, starting off with an explosive vault performance, led by freshman Ricki Lebegern's 9.925 and Morgan Dennis' 9.90. Three other gymnasts went 9.875 (Brittany Magee, Ashley O'Neal and Terin Humphrey) on this event. The Tide ran into some stingy judging on the uneven bars despite several superior routines, including a 9.825 effort from an ailing Kassi Price and a 9.90 from Humphrey who continues to wow the fans with her Khorkina and hop full elements . Bama also went 6 for 6 on the balance beam (8 for 8 counting two exhibitions by Erin Rightley and Amanda Montgomery) and closed out with another winning effort on the floor exercise. The Tide retained their #4 ranking in the nation and #1 in the Central Region.
